Photoshop Tutorial: Iceynix Wallpaper

In this tutorial I’m going to show you how I created this liquid abstract style wallpaper.



Approx. time to complete: 10-20 mins
A lot of the steps I use are very general as that is how abstract art is often made. Feel free to tweak any of the steps to your own personal taste. The idea is just to show you how the effect is done. It should be a fairly quick tutorial requiring maybe 10-20 minutes time.
Note that I will use some shortcut keys as you will need to learn these anyway if you want to become proficient at Photoshop. There are, however, several ways to do many of the steps.

Photoshop Tutorial Collective

Hello to anyone reading this. This blog will be a collection of Photoshop tutorials (and maybe some others), brushes, and anything else I think should be shared with people. I can't say that there will be anything super special about it as I will just be determining which tuts and resources are worth sharing. I will be writing my own tutorials as well as linking to others.

So check back as I start to build this collection!
