I made a website where artists and designers can get color palette inspo from fire hydrants I've 3D scanned all over the US
Some of my favorites:
There are about 100 hydrants so far and I'm continuing to add more all the time

Sorry if this is a silly question but how do you get that glowy look for colours in your art?? It looks so cool and pretty
Hi! Not a silly question at all! I'll use this drawing that has a transparent white canvas background as an example. Here it's fully colored and without any effects.
When I'm ready to export as a PNG, I merge all the layers into one and then duplicate that one layer.
This is where the effects happen. On that duplicate layer, I use gaussian blur to begin. Usually I go for somewhere between 5 and 10.
Then, again on that blurred layer, I change the layer mode. Typically I'll do multiply, overlay, shade, or shade/shine.
Here I pick overlay.
I usually adjust the opacity to my liking during this stage as well. In this case I set to 60%.
You can also see there is a "glow" around him. Sometimes, if I don't want this "glow", I'll clip the layer to remove it.
And that's essentially it! I use Paint Tool SAI as my drawing app, but I know different apps have different blur and layer mode options that you can experiment with 😊
This is definitely one of my fav things to do with my drawings. It can really make it so much more appealing to look at in the end...
