The other day I was messing around with Photoshop on some downtime, and decided to try out a trick I learned from read Gabe from Penny Arcade’s art blog. It’s the bloom lighting effect he used on a piece of Gears of War artwork.
It turned out to be really easy, but it’s still pretty satisfying every time I pick up a new technique on PS.
Of course, it’s not perfect, and while it doesn’t really fit with the particular drawing, since it’s a low-quality bit I drew up in photoshop itself after first getting my tablet, it’s good to know!
