Create very shiny summer wallpaper

In this tutorial we’ll create very shiny summer wallpaper even if it is raining outside right now. So first we’ll create some custom brushes. I always do this to

think about the forms I’m going to use. So let’s begin shall we?

I’m picking my Flat brush right here. The opacity is sensitive to stylus pressure here. So I’m just making some shapes. I’m searching here for beautiful curves right

For example this brush has Angle jitter set to >Direction and size jitter is set to Rotation.

Some additional foreground elements – this is the same font line – you are everything with motion blur and drop shadow.
