Description Nothing too much, just playing around with some colouring techniques. Basically, trying to come up with my own way of making a glowy light-effect. I've looked at a few different tutorials over my time, but none that I've really felt comfortable with. This tech does need a bit of work, but mostly I like it.

I drew this straight into photoshop, no references or pencil sketches or anything like that. I just wanted to draw so I threw this together a few days ago and just finished colouring it now.

At the moment, I'm still liking parts of it, but we'll see how that holds up tomorrow.

The image is bascially three of my characters exploring and underground wonderland.
The three found themselves in the dark, in an unexplored section of cave unexpectidly and so, as one would expect, decided to do a bit of adventuring. My life is lacking adventure at the moment, so these three can have it on my behalf.
Zoan (the little guy at the back), found a piece of alien technology and has been playing with it as they walk along, suddenly setting it off and lighting up the cave.
...Or something like that.

They're all dressed in a similar manner because its the uniform of the Earth Academy, which they attend, but modifications have been made by each. Its all part of a sci-fi world I've been creating.

Once again, pretty basic, I didn't expect to acheve much. Just wanted to have a bit of fun with colouring in photoshop. Comments appreciated as always.

Oh that's comething I forgot for good glow effects.
Make a new layer above the ink and paint in a low opacity of the glow color, and then a bright medium opacity for the origin. Much like an overlay glow, seems to work well.

You know, its annoying and awesome that you can look at something and know exactly how it was done .
You're not hacking my photoshop files are you?

Damn... I knew you were evil
Underneath it all, underneath that bubbling, fun exterior, you're a cesspool of evil.

Nice job on the straight PS. I can only do them on rare ocassions, so Grats!

As for the glow I like it. It could use alot of polishing and tweaking but you've definitly got the basics in pat.
