Here you all go, sorry for the wait ; w;/ and for the >> mad amount of space throughout this tutorial.


Ah.. I love to make..things shine and glow and blind..er.. this is all done in Sai Painter of course, however you can do the same in Adobe Photoshop

HOW TO DO IN ADOBE PHOTOSHOP(ANY)
Create the layer with the wanted base colour (or subject)
Next create a new layer and set it to "Linear Dodge"
* I dont like using the blur TOOL in Adobe, so i use the filter "Gaussian Blur" pixel settings 3 and BAM, same effect :3

You can also use this for lighting, reflections, Ghosts..play with it and show me what you do eh?

ALSO

Obliviousrights:
Offered a really helpful tip to creating a seamless blur.

First, you open it (canvas) up.
Then, you make the color dot
Then add the shading and what not..blur..
So, you preserve the opacity by locking it, then make a copy of the layer.
You unlock the second layer, and set the effect to "Fringe",
(this is located ABOVE the blend mode normally under the navigation window)
the width to the maximum and so should the other bar.
Then, set the mode on Lumi & Shade, and there you go!
Draw draw draw~<3

End modified excerpt!

I thank you again Obliviousrights for the suggestion!

Again Good luck all, and if you have any questions please feel free to ask me > w< /
