What You’ll Learn:
In this video tutorial, I’ll demonstrate three different methods to achieve that perfect glitter outline effect:
Method 1: The Pencil Tool + Flood Fill Tool
Learn how to hand-draw your glitter outline using the Pencil tool and fill it with a sparkly texture using the Flood Fill tool. Perfect for adding custom shapes or decorative flourishes!
Method 2: The Text Stroke + Flood Fill Tool
If you’re working with text, this method gives you clean, crisp glitter edges by combining text strokes with the Flood Fill tool. Great for titles, quotes, or logo designs.
Method 3: The Paint Brush Tool + Clipping Mask
This painterly approach lets you add a soft, brushed glitter effect using the Paint Brush tool and a clipping mask for a more textured, artistic look.
