Ghostly Abstract Tutorial

[dereko04011]

This is my first tutorial!

This is problably like most of other tutorials, but I think I changed mine differently:


1. File > New..., Whatever size you want, and the background color should be white. I used 400px X 400px

2. Select the Linear Gradient Tool, and set the blending mode to "Difference" (and press 'D' to reset colors&#33, also make sure the Gradient is selected to 'Foreground to Background'.


3. Now go crazy drawing lines everywhere for about 20-30 times! This is what mine looked like:


4. Now duplicate the layer and name the duplicated one "Wave", but then have the other layer (not the Wave layer) selected. Then go to Filter > Distort > Twirl and I used these settings:


5. On the Wave layer, go to Filter > Distort > Wave and I used these settings (after you get the settings in, hit Randomize a couple of times until you get something you like&#33


6. Then set the Wave layer blending mode to "Lighten" then merge the two layers together! Mine so far looks like:


7. Duplicate that layer and then on the Duplicated layer, go to Edit > Transform > Flip Horizontal. Set the blending mode to Lighten and you got it!

8. Select one of the layers, press Ctrl + U (or, Image > Adjust > Hue/Saturation...) And the color I used:


9. Now select the other one, and press Ctrl + U again (or, Image > Adjust > Hue/Saturation...) And the color I used was:


10. Now merge the layers together and you got it!

The end result is random but mine looks like:

Cool tut! Although, I think it's more of an "Other Tutorial" than a "Background Tutorial". Nice effect though!
