In this Photoshop tutorial we will create a totally free style wallpaper for today, so we will be sketching a shape with basic brush I guess and then overlay it with bright colors.

So let’s create a document:

Start to develop the shape – twist and turn to find the best compositing – flip the image a lot of times. Because the eye gets used to what you do for some time: specially the abstract shapes.

…and set the layer blending mode to exclusion.
