Lightning+Static Tutorial

I'm pretty sure that this is as simple as it gets to making your own lightning, rather than using lightning brushes that can look out of place.

Of course though, you're probably not going to draw anything that small, so just as a side note, blur "Lightning copy" just enough to blur the edges slightly. Blur "Lightning copy 2" enough to give it a small glow. Blur "Lightning copy 3" enough to give it a large outer glow

If you have any questions, feel free to ask! I'll answer it as best as I can ;D

And if you use this, it'd be great if you sent me a link to the finished artwork you made, so I can see how much I helped (or didn't D; ). You don't need to credit me, but it'd be nice if you did ;D

Used Adobe Photoshop CS4
