This is a small tutorial for a kind of glowing line effect that I thought was a pretty cool (made in GIMP). Final product...



1.Create a new document im GIMP with a white background, I made mine 530, 130.
2. Create a new transparent layer and then brush some lines on it in a colour of your choosing, I chose green. Results so far..



3. Then, with that layer, go filters>blur>gaussian blur. Make the blur horizontal = 20 and vertical = 20 (You can choose a different size to suit youre preferences). Results so far..



4. After that, create a new transparent layer and on that layer, brush some more lines right ontop of your gaussian blur. Results so far..



And there you have it, a cool way to give ordinary lines a glowing effect. If you do enough of them it could end up like this..



Have fun ;D

dude nice tut. It help me

Nice, a Gimp tut too. I know another way to do that is the feather effect in ps... but that looks pretty cool.

Thanks, I might make some more little ones.
