Photoshop Glow Effect – Tutorial
Hey there!
Some of you asked me whether I could create a tutorial for that artwork.
Well, ok! Here it comes..
Step 1: Getting the stuff you need
To create the artwork you will need the following resources:
- Brushset No.14
- Nightsky Brushes – I couldnt find the author’s name. Please tell me if it’s yours, I will credit it.
- (3D program like Cinema 4D – If you want to use 3D text-objects)
Step 2: Let’s start
Create a new file (I took 800×600) and fill it black.
Step 3:
Take the gradient tool and draw a vertical line (colors: black and darkgrey). Black at the top, darkgrey at the bottom.
Step 4:
Create a new layer, foreground color: #3a3a3a, background color: #dedede and use render -> clouds. Then set the layer on ‘overlay’.
Step 5:
Insert your object you want to give the burn effect. I took a 3D text object, which I’ve created with Cinema 4D.
Step 6:
Now create a new layer, take the last brush of the Brushset No.14 (brush size: ~700px) and click into the picture (foreground color has to be white!). Now transform the brush until you get a result like I got.
Step 7:
Use the eraser (soft pencilbrush) and erase some parts of the brush. Your result should look like this.
Step 8:
Create a new layer below the object-layer. Take the nightsky brush (called sampled brush #12) and create a starry background.
Step 9:
Duplicate the star-layer and use gaussian-blur (~10px).
Step 10:
Create a new layer (at the top again). Take the same brush (brush-size: ~100px) and form it like it is shown in the picture.
Step 11:
Duplicate the layer and form a crescent. Use Crtl+E to merge the layers. (Don’t worry, the other layers are just hidden.)
Step 12:
Place the crescent on the tip of your object and create a new layer. Then use the a pencilbrush (~40px) and draw another crescent above the other one (see picture).
Step 13:
Use gaussain-blur (~9px)
Step 14:
Duplicate the drawn-crescent and paint it orange (Crtl+U ; Color: 16 ; Saturation: 100 ; Brightness: -50).
Step 15:
Set the layer on ‘color dogde’.
Step 16:
Duplicate the layer and use gaussain-blur (~20px) and set the oppacity of the layer to ~90%.
Step 17:
To add some more color duplicate the brush-layer (first brush) and paint it yellow (Crtl+U ; Color: 45 ; Saturation: 100 ; Brightness: -40). Move the layer 3px to the right and to the bottom. Then erase the marked areas with the eraser (soft pencil, ~100px).
Step 18:
Create a new layer below the object-layer and take the pencilbrush (~120px). Choose an orange color and draw a bold line. Then choose a blue color and draw a line below the orange one (Attention: Both lines are in the same layer!).
Step 19:
Set the layer on ‘overlay’.
Step 20:
Create a new layer (at the top again), fill it black and set it on ‘color dogde’ (It should look like nothing has happened). Take a soft pencilbrush (~80px) and click on the marked areas (foreground color has to be white!). Set the layer’s oppacity to ~80%.
Step 21:

Very nice tutorial mate, actually if you show how you make the 3d object would be good, anyway great tutorial
Thanks dude. I was thinking about it but that would be pretty complicated und unstructured (2 different tools, many text) 🙁
The mainpoint is the glowing you can give every object you want.

A quite good effect I found here, but I have an opinion for you that if you fall a little light effect on the text then it could be more attractive. Anyway this is wonderful work and please keep sharing with us it’s helpful. Thanks. – ( Here I am http://phototrims.com )
