⚡ Creating a Lightning Bolt: Advanced Method with Detailing
In this tutorial, we’ll show how to create a realistic lightning bolt with alternating teeth using several elements: lines, brushes, and detailed drawing. This method is perfect if you want your lightning to look like a real bolt, not just a simple straight line.
🔹 Step 1. Create the Lightning Base
1. Open the project where you want to add the lightning bolt.
2. Go to the Lines tab and choose a line with a triangular shape (like in the example).
3. Stretch the line along the desired path and adjust its shape if needed.
4. Set a light color for the line (for example, yellow).
🔹 Step 2. Add Lightning Teeth
1. On top of the line, select a brush that looks like a checkerboard.
2. Set the brush size and spacing so the teeth alternate neatly.
3. Choose a dark color and go over the line with the brush to create the base of the teeth.
4. Then pick an additional color (e.g., light blue) and lightly draw the teeth to add volume.
🔹 Step 3. Add Depth and Shadow
1. Switch to the main layer of your project.
2. Under the lightning bolt, use a dark brush to create depth and shadow.
✨ Result
You’ll get a realistic lightning bolt with clear alternating teeth, looking vivid and three-dimensional—perfect for detailed projects.
