Glow Light Effect Line

Probably a lot of people are very interested in this, it is a small analysis, in fact, not very difficult things. I took a little time to do a relatively simple, laughed, not very exquisite, just want to speak clear ideas. As shown in figure:

Broken down into layers, the first is the background layer:

Next, there are some lines, which are vital, line general requirements of the trend of coordination, fluency, of course, other effects can also be done, through the path of production, do not foolishly a painting, painting a few later can be copied by the way to make a large pile, with twisted class of filters to change the shape on it. I used wacom to draw quickly and feel better.

Only the lines of course very ugly, then do Glow halo, a new open layer, along the line above the general distribution and trend of painting, I casually do, so more rough ugly:)

This is another layer, the main focus here is the soft and gradual line of the feeling, the more natural smooth the better.

The following start to say how to make light sense, is the layer of mixed mode to choose screen on it, if you want a stronger sense of light, you can choose Linear Dodge, this is the top two layers with linear Dodge mixed, if the layer more, with more than screen mode is enough.

Similarly, with the line that layer, the effect is generally out.

After you can use level and other tools to adjust again, to achieve better results, you can add some other filter changes, such as here add a bit motion blur.

Conclusion: The light effect is not difficult to make, is the blending mode of flexible utilization layer.

The point and the difficulty is:
1, the form of lines, distribution to be beautiful (of course, can also be a sense of violence or something);
2, the way to add halo, an experience is to avoid disorderly add, to have rhythm and charm, not the whole picture stuffed full;
3, the color collocation, the line generally uses the brighter color, the halo generally uses slightly dark color, the tonal choice also must handle well;
4, two words-taboo vulgar. Many times a few fluorescent lines are more beautiful than a full screen of glowing lines.
