hey, i downloaded a lot of the brushes and resources shared here on these forums, but i am sort of new to designing and such so i have a question when using the brushes.

how do you gain the glowing colorful effects that are seen throughout various sigs and artwork presented here? many of your designs are very colorful and luminated, and glowing. where as after i've downloaded the brushes and i am attempting to make my signature now...using the brushes i only get a very bland single color look unless i am doing something like a color burn or color dodge...which looks alright but not nearly as nice and fluent as some of the other work i've seen. any tips would be appreciated!
