Final Image Preview

Open a new file with 1040×460 px and 72 dpi. Its parameters must be those from below.

Blending Options-Gradient Overlay

Gradient’s parameters.

Take next instrument
and draw a kind of picture like the next one, with the same parameters.


Blending Options-Gradient Overlay

Having the same instrument, continue representing the picture.

Gradient’s parameters.

Apply the previous instrument
to draw the next element with the sizes from next image.


Blending Options-Gradient Overlay

Gradient’s parameters.

Take the same instrument and the same Gradient Overlay parameter to picture the next figures, indicated next step.

One more figure, represent by the same instrument, but this time, it must have the white color.

Continue with the same tool and picture the figure with the next sizes.

Blending Options-Gradient Overlay

Gradient’s parameters.
Take the next tool again
and insert next elements that must look exactly like in the next picture.

Gradient’s parameters.

You must represent another figure now, but of the white color.

Get the next tool
to picture one more figure colored in BE151C.

Take now the brush (choose it with the right button)

And picking the white color, create several small stars of different sizes that must be placed like in the next image.

Get the next instrument again
to picture a figure colored in EE1C25 with the parameters demonstrated below.

Blending Options-Stroke

The same instrument can be helpful in representing the next image with the same color and parameters shown next step.
Blending Options-Stroke

Choose another instrument now
to insert three stripes of white color with the shown parameters next image (the same for each stripe).

Blending Options-Stroke

Using the same method, the same color and the same parameter Blending Options – Stroke, create one more box.

The last feature includes representing a band with a bow of white color on the box, applying the known instrument
.

Introduce the same elements on the other box, but this time you must pick the next color – C4151C.

As a result we’ll have the next illustration!

The final result!

Hi
I have managed to create the gradient successfuly in step 1 but I cannot create the swirly shapes that you have created with the pen tool above in steps 2 onwards. Min lines come out as straight lines and have no body to them
There must be some other steps involved in the drawing of the swirls
If you have any more info please could post it on here
Thanks, Mike

If you click and hold down left mousebutton and then move your mouse it will appear a curly line. Search for a guide on youtube, you will see how the pen tool should be used
