How to do this?

http://numunu.net/first.JPG

Does anyone know how to do a similar effect to the 'swoosh' effect above?

I've tried but can't seem to get the same effect.. any ideas?

Thanks very much

What have you tried so far?

I've tried just using the brush tool to draw the wavy lines and then adding glow and different blur effects but I can't get the lines to look perfect like the ones in the example.


Can anyone help please? Perhaps I just need a graphics tablet to draw the lines more effectively?.. or can anyone suggest anything else?

Thanks in advance!

You can use the pen tool to create the lines

I agree with tornupinside, the pen tool would give you the best, smoothest lines.

I would also suggest you create a line on a layer above the background layer. This way, instead of drawing all the lines on one layer, you can copy the layer, move its position up or down a few pixels to create a new line, and vary the colour/blur/glow/opacity. Then repeat as necessary. You might only need two or three different shaped pen paths to do the whole thing.

Hope this helps you

Thankyou very much for the help

I will try your suggestions now,

Thanks again!
