#glitter tutorial

By Cosmos Kitty

i was asked for a glitter tutorial a couple of times so here it is <3 (i work in krita btw)

if i had to break it down step-by-step:

apply regular shading

add the glitter texture. i do it by turning the scatter feature on

3. add color with a gradient map

4. add reflected light. i usually go with blue because it's a good fit for my over-all very pink palettes

5. and in general: look at reference. glitter looks and feels very unreal and magical but it all exists irl and has been documented in all shapes, materials and lighting

Glitter Effect Photoshop | Diamond Glitter Texture Tutorial In this glitter effect Photoshop tutorial, I'm going to show you how to make a diamond glitter texture that is perfect for crystal art. 

Crystal art is a very popular photo editing style on Tumblr and on Instagram. I will show you how to make the diamond glitter from scratch in three different styles and briefly go over how to get the best results with this glitter effect with Photoshop blending mode adjustments. 

This is not a tutorial on crystal art or Photo masking but rather creating the glitter texture needed for making stunning crystal art and glitter effects in Photoshop.

hi sorry i’m answering this a little late, i’m really bad at explaining how things are done because truthfully i just fuck around until it looks halfway decent lol but since you asked i edited two pictures and recorded my screen so anyone who’s interested in learning can see the steps. here’s the glitter i use, and the layer mode is set to either linear light / vivid light depending on the picture. you can also keep it on normal and delete parts of the picture instead of the glitter layer for more of a sara shakeel vibe depending on what you’re going for. but i hope it helps! here’s the final result and the video:

Oh sure!I basically just do a luminosity layer of a really large photo of stars clipped to what I want sparkly and adjust the hue and saturation to how I like it. Sometimes I duplicate the layer to make it more intense. Play around with different settings.

I use something like this

Then I always sharpen my art in photoshop and it gives it a more crisp look.
