We are going to be taking a quick look at a slew of different effects, ultimately creating a being made of the stars themselves. Like nebulas, we are going to be keeping everything very loose and freeform; it's all about going with the flow with this one! We are going to do a whole lot of playing with different layer modes and experimenting with the flow of shadows and light seeing what shapes naturally form as we go.

This video does use a graphics tablet, however, it is by no means required!
