Chrome Ice Cubes

Chrome Ice Cubes

[1] Create a blank square white canvas, I’m using 500 x 500 for this one.

- Press the letter ‘D’ on your keyboard to reset the colour palettes. http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/4...alette12no.jpg

- And then select the Custom Shape tool on the tools window.

- Make sure these settings are entered

- Draw about 5 random pentagons on your blank canvas.

[2] Flatten the layers so that they are all one layer. Go to the top tool bar and select Layer > Flatten Image

You should have one layer now.

[3] Select Filter > Blur > Radial Blur

Your canvas should then look like this...

Use the default inputs

You can mess around with the settings, colours and shapes and you'll find that you get several variations but all equally impressive.
