Description
I did this while I was chatting with ~DarkAngelShine in MSN. So this isn't a normal tutorial. But I hope you still manage to understand my crappy instructions. I had never done a tutorial so please go easy on me
By the way, the artworks I used as an example for this tutorial are originally by
This is a .rar file so you have to download and extract the files. And it's also a big file so be patient.
PLEASE DOWNLOAD

yeah a bit messy but i understood it
much better then the ones on gimp and photoshop
how would you make something glow??

Well, that depends on what kinda of glow you are talking about. I have in my paint.net a effect that does it automatically but I don't remember if it came with the program or if it was part of the filters that I've download from the program's website forum. It's called "Glow" XD and it's under the "Effects"<"Photo"<"Glow" tab. Anyway, if you have this effect on your paint.net, it effects the whole picture or the whole layer you have selected, instead of a particular part.
However, if what you want is a glowing outline of something (like for instance you want to make a star in the sky glow) you can do it by going again under the "Effects" menu but this time it's under the "object" menu < "outline object". To give a better glowing effect increase the radius and decrease the strength. For this to work you need to have that particular object in a separated layer from the rest of the picture.
This are the easy ways of making something glow in paint.net. There are others more complex that involve playing with the layers mode and add effects like blur and such. But those you will learn how to do with in due time, with practice.

Well, this tutorial is old and it was rushed. Right now, I don't have any suggestions to give you, but if you have questions, you are free to ask.
I'll do my best to help you out, although for some reason, since I had to reformat my hard drive, I can't run Paint.NET anymore

I have Acrobat Writer. If you'd like, I can make these images into a PDF (Portable Document Format) file for you. PDFs can be uploaded to DA and then downloaded by viewers, and anyone with the free Acrobat Reader can view them.

I won't? That's strange. I can download it just fine.

But anyway, you already can do what I "teach" on the tutorial. This is really just the basic guidelines
