Want to do magic swirls? This is how. This goes off the same concepts introduced in "Simple Glow Tutorial" and introduces the use of paths.

I used this technique in this picture: [link]

I also forgot to mention for the multiple swirls i have on the right as an example, I changed the layer blending mode to "Hard Light." These modes are available on the in the layer window ( windows > layers) in a dropdown menu, the default is "Normal."

If you don't know how to use the pen tool, check out this tutorial: [link] by ::iconblackdahlia:

so useful, homg <3 *favs*

The next pic I am working on will involve these, but I kinda figured I would use the pen tool :XD:

Lol, pen tool works best. I don't have enough control to do it by hand. XD

Glad you think it's useful. :)

Making things look easy is the hardest thing to do.

XD. I love things that glow, so I decided to make some tutorials on the subject. :) And your right, the technique doesn't have to be used just for swirls. :)

Well I'm sure he uses lots of techniques, but this probably comes close to one of those techniques. XD

Ohhhhhhhh this is very useful! I should really start using techniques like this for glow.... instead of going to blending options >> outer glow. 8) I'm cheap!! Those glowey lines at the end look AWESOME, and pretty ^____^ *stares at them*

Outerglow is just not as good . XD
