Glow

how do you make an effect of something glowing?

If you like, please have a look at this “Old Man Walking” tutorial…
At about 3 min into the video, I create a “candle halo” with a gradient (radial + alpha) colour swatch
and a “Feather Edges” effect…

(no sound, it’s all fairly simple and self-explanatory)
