1. Introduction : hi amber industry and welcome to my second skill share class three ways to add glow Effect of your artworks digitally. My first class was about getting started with appropriate for beginners. So if you are a beginner, feel free to go take out in this class. I'm going to show you three different ways to air glow effect to your art Ordo photograph. So anyone who wants to create artworks with beautiful, glowing things but don't know how or maybe do know what's plan moves to use. Then this class is just for you. Amusing, procreate on up it pro for this class and dried them and photos off as well. But you can apply this to any digital art program that has similar blend modes to procreate or for yourself knowing how to draw in at colors digitally. This class, you need to know a few more things, like how routines plan Moz, how to adjust hue, saturation, brightness and how to apply question. Blur by the end of this class will be ableto add go effects to your drawings or photos in tree different ways. There are many more ways to make things glow, but for now, I'm savoring the tree. I use the most. First, I will show you how to add glow to assaulted shape. Then how to ed glowing stars and fireflies to your art Burke's. And finally, how to make hair flow for your last projects will be eating growth to your artworks or photographs using any of the tree ways he will learn. I'm already excited to see your projects, so now let's dive in. 2. Class Project : Finding Inspiration/Reference: for your class project used in your poetry ways. He will learn to add glued to her artwork or photograph. Here are some of my artworks. You can use this inspiration or reference. If you need some more ideas, you can easily find thousands of photographs go effect on interest. I will be sharing all the projects on my instrument story, so make sure to share your work with us. I'm super excited to see your works, so let's get started now. 3. Adding Glow to A Solid Shape: to add blow to a safe. First, I would draw the same I want with the random color. Next, we need to duplicate the layer two times. Now apply 15 to 25% caution. Blur to the layer at the bottom, then select the layer in the middle and said its brightness to maximum or close to maximum . Now repeat the same for the layer on top and apply 15 to 20% go Schindler Next said the top players playing more to add and only near dodge in photos up, then a just opacity off the layer. Keep it between 50 to 90% but feel free to play around. I'm blurring it a little bit more to spread the whites to make it look more blowing and repeating the same for the bottom There. Next, we're going to change this layers hue, saturation and brightness to get the desired color. Keep adjusting until you get the color of your choice, and once you get it, we're done 4. Paint Glowing Fireflies and Stars : in this video, I will show you how to be in fireflies and stars. First, we will draw some dots around the objector character. Feel free to very decisis is once we had glow these air going to look like fireflies. I find it more interesting when they are various sizes, so I like to have a little difference in size. Also, make sure the big round is starker, as it only looked as good as it could be in the spending to make it look darker, I used a separate layer above the original drawing and filled it with a dark blue color and said its plan more to multiply. Next, I lowered its capacity to 50 to 60% and then being did the fireflies and hair in separate layers above. We'll show you the hair part in the next video. Now first, to placate the layer five times where we have the dots, I'm locking the original. They're just so I don't change anything by mistake. It's not at all necessary dough. Next, apply 16 to 19% caution blur to the first duplicated player, so the second duplicated layer apply to indeed 22% caution blur and to the 3rd 1 23 to 27% . Then for the 4th 1 28 to 30% and finally 31 to 33%. Caution. Blur for the fifth layer. Now go back to the first blood layer and change its plan mood to overly, then for the next two layers above, it said. Blend moods to color. Dod's now for the next layer above, said Glenn Moore. To overly and finally, for the layer at the top, Use color dots again. Feel free to try different arrangements for the layers. They don't have to be in the same order, but sitting any two layers toe overly and three layers to color dots is preferable. We were going to spread to go a little bit more to do so big. The color you used to do the dots and paint over a few of them as soon next used to defected. 30% cost. Sindler and chains blend mode to color dots. Now I'm going to add some highlights to her hair, too. So the light coming from the fireplace for this step make sure to create a new there about the first layer where we painted the dots at the beginning at the highlights to those areas where the fireflies are light sources close to the object or character. Next, I will at some glowing stars, and I'm simply drawing few stars as the first step. The process to add blue is almost the same as the fireflies. First duplicate the layer five times, then apply Goshen blur like we did for the fireflies. But feel free to do some experiment and make it place or more. And finally, it's time to change. Plan Moz. Follow this order from First Obligated Layer to the last one first color dot and off early next color dots than off early and finally color dots to the last one. But of course, as I said earlier, you were free to do this in a different order. The result might differ a little bit, but you will get the glow affection as you know how it's done. Now I recommend just play around a bit and figure out what works best for you. You can follow the last step we did for the fireflies to spread the clothes. I don't want the stars to be more blowing, so I'm skipping the step for now, 5. Adding Glow to Hair: to air blow to Here you is a separate layer on top of your drawing or photograph layer and paint all over the characters here with the bright color. Next, we're going to make the big round a bit darker, which will make the go look even better. I'm using an artwork with no color, but no worries. Even if you were using this on a color drawing are on a photograph, it was still work. Now duplicate the layer where you have the original artwork or the photograph. Next, we're going to lower the players brightest to make it a little darker. Then it raised dark areas from the characters body. But if the original art, or for the graph has light, can rebel it, you should better keep the dogs next, duplicate the hair layer we painted at the beginning and used 30 35%. Goshen Blur Now said its plan more toe overly and duplicated, Then change the duplicated layers. Plan more toe ed, the near dodge in Fort itself and lower capacity to 25 to 35%. The opacity may very depending on which app or software you're using, so I recommend play around with it and figure out what works best for you. Now we're going to add some details on a new layer with a darker color day in the primary color we used. If you like without the details, then just skip this step. Don't forget to use these techniques and share your projects. I'm really looking forward to see it, And if have any questions at all, don't hesitate to ask. I'm here to help you. 6. Final Thoughts: There are many other ways to pay. Include, once you know how the blend Moz work adding different effects become much easier. Throughout this glass, you have learned three ways to add blue effect. But don't limit yourself to just this tree techniques. Now you know which blend modes can be used for such effects. So try to use them in different ways, do some experiments and free at your own unique techniques. I really hope you found this class helpful. I really hope you found this glass helpful.
