    Right, so I'm smudging and it's looking alright, but I forget how to make the smudge outlines and Google isn't giving me anything useful. Can somebody please refresh my memory?
    By smudge outlines I mean the little glowing line-type things between separate smudge lines.







    Thanks + cheers.

    Can you show an example of what you're meaning?

    Pretty much I just want to add some highlights and some colors and stuff.

    Like these:

    My smudges look pretty shitty so far. They look really basic and I just smudge the render to create a background so they're boring and plain with ugly colors.

    Use pentool to create different highlights, people usually set their brush to 1-3px and 90-100% hardness (make sure you check the "Simulate pressure" box)

    these two are the strongest examples of this technique.


    The other two just utilize alot of gaussian blur and screen-style layers

    Ahhh thanks a lot.

    But how would I go about making something like these?:

    Y'know all artistic-like. It's kinda hard to describe.

    Ahh, I see.

    How could I make smudges like this?
    http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs70/f/20...es-d7dqnjw.png

    With that kind of lighting and detail. My smudges don't look realistic, if you know what I mean. I'd like to be able to make detailed, definitive artistic smudges.
