a tutorial of sorts

sooo i threw together a quick tutorial on how to get the cool "glowy" effect that you can see on one of my latest deviations:

as well as a few others.

it's a trick i use a lot, especially since i do animation, to give it a sort of "anime-style effect"??? it makes it look like it's from a movie or TV show, which is something i like.
used correctly, it really enhances a lot of anime/cartoon style artwork imo.

this is just how i do it, you dont have to do it this way, usual tutorial disclaimer stuff, you know the drill.

a bunch of other artists use this effect but i thought it might be fun to see how i personally use it!
if you do apply this technique in any of your artwork, feel free to show me in the comment section! I'd love to see!!
