open your photoshop
and create a new document
you can choose whatever document sizes you want
now grab your basic brush and start drawing like this :
you must be thinking : wtf how you draw such straight lines
not really i'm good with my fingers
go to filters > stylize > wind
default settings
and click ok
wow nothing much has changed right?
ctrl + f to use wind again
nvm... draw another lines like this :
go to image > rotate canvas > 90 CW
go to filters > stylize > wind
default settings
click ok
ctrl + f to use wind again
now it look like a mesh
go to image > rotate canvas > 90 CCW to revert back
the result :
ctrl + j to create new layer
go to filters > distort > wave
THERE'S ONE THING I MUST STRESS
WHEN YOU GO TO THE WAVE FILTER YOU MUST CLICK ON THE "WRAP AROUND " OPTIONS IN THE UNDEFINED AREAS
click randomize a few times
it will get curvy curvy
man... it looks a little bit of 3Dish
no its not the end
set the blending mode to darken
wow.. ok..
ctrl + e to merge layers
crtl + j again
and go to filters > distort > waves
click on randomize a few times
go to filters > stylize > wind
use it only ONCE
its default settings
click ok
ctrl + e to merge the layers
ctrl + j to create new layer
ok.. this is getting boring but the result will be good
filters > distort > waves
randomize
change blending mode to darken
mm now
ctrl + e again...
ctrl + j again.. : (
i know you must be feeling bored..
but once more
filters > distort > wave
randomize a few times
okies
filters > stylize > wind
use default settings
click ok
set blending mode to lighten
wow.
nice er?
if it is too bright i suggest you set the blending mode to darken
okies ...
ctrl + e to merge the layers
use colours
they are ULTRA IMPORTANT!
open your colour balance by pressing ctrl + b
midtone colour levels : -100 | 0 | +100
okies it will turn blue
shadow colour levels : +100 | 0 | -100
use highlights if you want..
but it will get too bright
then go to image > adjustments > brightness and contrast
slide the sliders to get a good result
here's my result
gonna use the second one for my sig

the end
no komudo dragons or tigers or horses have been harmed in the making of this tutorial.
just a few cups of water are abused.
note: you can also add your own effects for extra beauty
damn i found some fault with the tut
i forgot to tell you to tick the "wrap around" in the filter > distort > wave...
you can tick the "wrap around" in the undefined areas
you can find the undefined areas in filter > distort > wave...
this will make the result better yeah
and go to image > adjustments > brightness/contrast to get more shadow on the sig
