In this post, psd-tutorial.com offers instructions on making your own light painting. I use the glow brushes tool to make this light painting. Click here to download the brushes.

You may notice that there are glowing stars everywhere in the image. I made it with Adobe Photoshop after seeing  Kagaya’s artwork. It is perfect with any image hosting.

• Make a new layer & set the blend mode into overlay. You’ll colorize this layer, ok?
• (optional) i usually give base color first into colorize layer before adding another color. I advise you to set the foreground color into any color (I’ve used aqua blue in this image) and press Alt + Delete.
• Now use soft round brushes & set opacity into 10% -  20%. I usually use 100 – 300 pixel diameter.
• Change foreground color into any color & start painting!

• Do you notice some stars in this image? It’s optional, but adds visual interest to the image :D
• I haven’t made tutorial about making this stars, so this time, just copy & paste it from the psd files, ok?
• Open the psd file & drag the star into your artwork. You may resize it as you like.
• Use Hue/Saturation to change its color by pressing Ctrl + U
• You may add some text to make it more attractive like the title image.
