How to make neon art with photoshop *tutorial*

[Sordid Saint]

If we're not supposed to put tutorials on here I'm sorry, but here I go anyways.

For this tutorial, you will need a couple things.

Requirements
*Photoshop (I'm using CS4)
*Time
*Imagination :)

Step ONE
If I were you I would use a nice black background for this one, so get out your work area however big you want it, I'm using signature format.

Now that you did that, get an abstract curvy brush off the internet somewhere. Once you have that, make a new layer, and put one of them somewhere you think looks good in WHITE. It needs to be white.

Once you have that there, get to the FX window for that layer and go into the inner glow effect window. Pick a color that you like then try to make everything look like it does in my window.

Now, click on the outer glow effect. Make it the same color, and then put everything similar to what mine is. You may need to tweak some things a little bit depending on what shape you're using and what color you're using.

Now, repeat with different lines and colors until you get your final product :D

ALSO should I make a signature request thread? Poll is above.

Hate to break this one to you, but this isn't hard.

Give us a tutorial on something a bit more complicated.

Everything on Photoshop is easy lol... Give me something to make a tutorial on and I can do it. Except making renders of things... I'm not good at making renders

Seriously now? People, when they are making tutorials, the perfectly present every resource they are going to use.

"an abstract curvy brush"!? I think a seasoned photoshop user know how to use the Pen Tool; which is obviously that "curvy brush from the tanterent" came from.

But other cannot pen tool you say? Well, you gotta teach them, no? If they are n00b, then tell them how to open a new file XD

Usually tutorials cover over 5 to 13 basic photoshop skills. By then, that's a thing would be called a tutorial; a comprehensive tutorial.

Oh, and it's funny how you have left out your task bar in the screenshot. ((Never do that... it is embarrassing. :yes: ))

But don't worry, I have followed your tutorial step by step.

Excellent, no?! [not really]

And as for the making a request thread. I think we already have 5 of them. And their members are active as well(well, not that active).
===

How about you make a tutorial on how to make a shattered glass that which reflects the render and stuff. That will be cool, no?

Oh! And not everyone is using PS CS 5; people are still using Photoshop element, Photoshop 70, Photoshop v.1 and CS 2 and what not.

(I am waiting)

Umm, no, everything on Photoshop is not easy, and you can't say it is because Photoshop, by many, is considered an unlimited program. The level of difficulty varies from one method and one project to the next.

Faris, don't jump the gun there. He could have used an abstract brush, I have several that look the same in fact. The pen tool is one of Photoshop's more complicated tools believe it or not and using a substitution is perfectly acceptable.

On another note.
Sig thread? Why ask that here? You didn't show shit for a sig, you simply showed abstract art. Asking that question here is pointless.
But should you? No.
Why? Image sigs are dead, and I doubt you can out do Aaron in text sigs, so unless you have something absolutely unique, don't bother with a sig thread.

I can't make a shattered glass tutorial right now anyways, because I don't have it on my laptop that's at my moms. Give me two days and I'll be at my dad's where I have photoshop

Unless... I can torrent it. *Badass look on face* :P


Also, I had another question. Does anyone else want to marry renders? They make life so much easier lol. And am I the only one that makes the signature background out of the render? It's kind of hard to explain how I do it unless I post an example. But it always makes the signature look good when you use the render as the background IMO

Marry renders? What?
And everyone has used the render to make the BG, it's how I used to teach most everyone.
