How to Add Color
Step 1
By now, it’s a good idea to nail the colors of the project. Above all other layers,
create a Gradient Map Adjustment Layer (Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Gradient
Map) Use these colors: #000000; #54000c; #d69f0a; #fffee9.
Gradient Map
Step 2
Leave the Adjustment Layer always on top. Now that we’ve finished the lines, it’s
time to add glows. Repeat the path creation process, but this time use a very large
size (100–200 px) and enable Pressure Simulation. As a color, use a 50% gray
(#8c8c8c). Change the Layer Style to Screen.
Apply Stroke Path
Step 3
Cover all the thicker portions of the letters with similar glows.

Step 4
It’s time to add even thicker lines, but with Pressure Simulation enabled and white
color. Use lines of varying widths (25–75 px). As always, make endings thinner
using the mask.
Add even thicker lines
Step 5
Add thicker, soft white lines all over the letters. Also, I've moved a bit Gradient
Map sliders to make it all more shiny look.How to Add Color
