[Photoshop] Soul-less Glowing Eyes Tutorial

Welcome to my second tutorial. Today I will show you guys how to make a “Glowing” effect on the eyes of a picture. If anything isn’t clear, or missing from the tutorial; please notify me and I will fix it.

  1. First make a new picture. Whatever size you want. In this tutorial I will be making it 400 x 400.

  2. Select your pen tool.

  3. Zoom (cntrl +) in on the eyes of the object your editing.

  4. Use the pen tool to circle the eyes of the image, starting and ending on the same dot.

  5. Now that the paths are drawn, right click the layer and click “duplicate layer”.

  6. Now click the eye next to your original layer. This will make it invisible for now.

  7. Now make sure you have the visible layer slected. Then right click the image and click “Vector Mask”.

Your almost done!

Now your eyes should be floating.

  1. Go ahead and click on the layer and choose “blending options”.

  2. Check off inner glow. Put opacity to 100%. The color to white. (Make the size however much you need for the eyes to be ALL white).

  3. Next check off outer glow. Put the color to whatever color you want the eyes to glow. Put the technique to precise.(Again, for the size, play around with the amount until its what suits your liking.)

  4. Click the eye by other layer to make it visible again, and CONGRATS!

Hopefully you created the image! Sadly this tutorial is VERY hard to explain but super easy to learn by watching. I will make a video later on if needed. Rate/comment. What do you need help on? What can i help clarify? etc. Thanks

Another well set out tutorial, very easy to read and very informative. Make more!

I appreciate it alot. I was afraid I didn’t explain it well enough.

I doubt I will ever use something like this but thanks for contributing.

thanks i think haha

You could have honestly left the original eyes in there, and just added the glow. Would make it seem more human and not so, soulless. But good job nonetheless

I wonder if you’re the same physical person who posted this “Tutorial” on Youtube… Hmm…

Some blur would be nice too… Eyelids don’t have a jagged outline which I can see

yeah some other people can go more in depth im just teaching the basic concept :slight_smile:
