Once again, the Artifex Forge has been on an urban adventure – exploring the bright lights of the city in order to bring you better Adobe Illustrator brushes! This time I’ve been searching for the best neon tubes to bring this super-realistic set of neon glow effect brushes to life.
If, like me, you find the majority of existing neon glow effects limiting, lifeless and a little unrealistic then this is the perfect neon brush set for you. Most neon effects are entirely computer generated and therefore lack the lifelike qualities and quirks of genuine neon tubing. With these Illustrator brushes, you can really give your design the wow-factor. So, why are they so much better?
- True-to-life: the brushes are sourced from real neon tubing, so no flat, lifeless vector glow effects.
- Multiple highlight options: this recognizes that when you have a group of neon tubes together, they illuminate each other, creating more highlights.
- Flexibility: being vector brushes, they are malleable giving you more scope to create the images you want.
- Fun: you’re drawing neon tubes… what more can I say?

This is, for me, the funniest Artifex Forge set. I grew up fascinated by neon light signs and advertisements, so when I saw this set it took me less than three seconds to fetch my credit card and buy it. Very realistic results, wide range of possibilities, and, again, lots of fun. Great idea, Jeremy!
