March 17, 201115 yr It's very easy: Photoshop CS5, Win 7 1. Create new document (Ctrl+N). Default colours (press D key) 2. Fill background with the black 3. Create new empty layer (Ctrl+Shift+Alt+N) 4. Select Brush Tool - Brush size, say, 20 px (Soft Round). 5. Draw the curve you need with the Pen tool. 6. Switch to palette Path, right click on the path, -> Stroke path (Tool: Brush, Simulate Pressure) That's all, now you can play with layer effects like inner Glow, Outer Glow, etc. Edited March 17, 201115 yr by Lev
