Drawing Fireworks
Tutorial in Basics, Drawing, Effects, In Photos
It’s celebration time, and there’s nothing better than this tutorial when it comes to creating and applying fireworks to an image. We will use ((Brush Tool)), ((Radial Blur)), ((Free Transform)), ((Hue/Saturation)), ((Levels)), and ((Outer Glow)).
Open a new document, 600×600px, and black background.
Create a ((New Layer)).
Choose white as the foreground color.
Select ((Brush Tool)), 27px, ((Hardness)): 0%.
Paint some white spots in the document until you create the typical firework. It is important that there are more spots in the outer lines than in the inner ones.
Duplicate this layer (Ctrl + J).
Apply ((Filter))-((Blur))-((Radial Blur)).
As you can see the blur is a little bit exaggerated. In order to fix it, activate ((Free Transform)) (Ctrl + T) and reduce the blur keeping Alt + Shift pressed.
Select both layers and press Ctrl + E to unify them.
Duplicate the unified layer (Ctrl + J).
Standing in the superior unified layer, press Ctrl + U and apply ((Hue/Saturation)). Activate ((Colorize)).
Select both layers again and press Ctrl + E to unify them.
Then press Ctrl + L to edit ((Levels)). Move the black slider towards the right as shown in the following image.
Finally, double click the layer to open ((Layer Styles)) and apply ((Outer Glow)).
Accept the changes.
Done!
