Light Streaks - Eyes


I attempted making light streaks over my eye and I think that it worked alright.  I didn't have any plan when creating this because it was just an experiment so that I could grasp the technique before I tried making the real thing.  I am going to use the same picture, or a different one, i'm not too sure yet, and I am going to put the light streak around the eye so that it frames it.  Before I do this I am going to practice drawing paths with the pen on photoshop to make sure that I can draw an accurate path when it comes to actually drawing over the picture.  

I think that the overall light effect with the glow on the outside and on the inside works really well.  I like the way the brush fades out at the ends to blur into the rest of the picture.  The middle areas where there is the most glow work really well over the eye, making the whites of the eye look whiter than they actually are.  

I'm going to work on this image to make the light streaks a more prominent feature in the image and to frame the eyes to make them stand out more.
