And choose :
Result :
Now, you're almost done, go into :
And take these settings :
You'll end up with this :
II)Flowers
Create a new document, any size.
Create a new layer and apply a black and white gradient from top to bottom :
(Tip : hold shift while drawing the layer to make it straight down.)
Result :
Apply some waves, go to :
And choose (approx) these settings :
You should get something close to this :
Last steps !
Apply some polar coordinates :
Click OK and you should get something similar to this :
To get different results, play around with wave settings ;).
III) Pen Tool
Pen tool is one of the most important tools in PhotoShop you may find it here :
To use this trick, you'll need to have this setting :
Once you have these settings, lets begin.
Create a new file, with any dimensions.
Color your background (unless you have another background) in anything but white (chose black here).
Create a new layer and choose pen tool.
Click anywhere on the canvas, you should get this :
Click Somewhere else on the canvas and while holding down clicked, move the mouse around a bit, you should get a curved line :
Keep going (clicking somewhere on canvas and draging) until you get something satisfying, something curvy and nice ;).
Example :
Now, choose your brush tool located here :
And get these settings :
(Smoother 5 pixel brush if you can't see).
Get a white color.
Choose your pen tool again and right click on the path (grey line on canvas) and choose this option :
Take these settings :
Click OK and right click on the path (again) and choose this option :
With my curve, I got a smooth curve ;).
Experience with different curves, colors, brushes !!! There are many possibilities !
I'll post more soon ;).
