PS Create the space background of the smoke like goldfish pattern

The effect picture looks more complicated, but the fish body part is made up of the simplest graphics. Just use the Pen tool to check out the shape of the graphic, plus gradients and layer styles. And then stack them together. The production method is not difficult, the difficulty is the creative thinking.

Final effect

First, start to create a document, I use 800*600 pixel, this is a good creation icon of the working environment.

Second, draw the basic shape of a fish body with pen tool. You can draw any fish that you like.

Third, open layer style, the use of yellow-orange-red gradient gradient to create the effect of the flame, set the gradient style for mirroring, angle of 45 °.

The shape of the fish you have made so far should look like this (if you follow the steps I have taken).

Now we are going to make fish eyes.

Select the Ellipse tool to draw a positive circle. Hold down SHIFT and draw the positive circle. Open the layer style and use this style (see figure below).

Create another shape on the positive circle and add some outer glow.

Seven, make a flame of the shape. This will add a good flame effect to the fish's eyes. Open layer style, apply outer glow.

Eight, now we are ready to use the Pen tool to set the body of the Fish flame effect (I know, this is very funny).

Draw a long, sharp-angled shape. Apply a layer mask and fade it with the gradient tool.

Nine, repeat steps 8 altogether 18 times (this as you wish 100 times also no one tube you:), use different shapes and colors.

Now put each shape in the folder you built and name it "Fireshapes". Now copy the entire folder and press Ctrl/cmd + E to merge the folders into one layer. Rename the layer to "Fireshapes2" and press Ctrl/cmd + T to place the selection at the bottom.

Now put it on the fish.

To repeat step 10, rename this layer as "Fireshapes3" and put it on the "Fireshapes2". Now let's use the Pencil tool to add a yellow shape to the bottom to make it look more like fish.

12, now we will use the layer style options to complete the next step.

13, now you have a general understanding of the use of pen tools to make fish shape technology. I'm going to add some gradient shapes to the fish's tail (follow step 12 to set the gradient), put them in a folder, and name it "Tall" (tail). The tail is the area within the blue path.

14, now in the tail folder to add a layer mask, apply a gradient so that it fades, so that the blue path to achieve this effect.

This is what we have achieved so far.

16, now we want to make fin. Fish can't swim without fins, right? Make a shape (my color is #fcb100) with the image above and use the layer mask and gradient tool to fade it.

17. Now let's use the same technique as step 16 to add some flame shapes to the fins.

18. Make a shape on the head of the fish, which will add a good flame effect.

19, repeat step 18, use the layer mask and gradient tool to make it fade (that is, the gradient effect).

20, now put everything we have done in a folder, and named "Fish."

21, set the fish folder opacity to 69%.

22, Copy Fish folder, press Ctrl/cmd + E, which will make the copy layer above the Fish folder. Add a style above.

23, this is the effect so far.

24, now we are going to apply the smoke effect and some star-shaped brush. Copy and paste the smoke above the fish, draw some stars on the same layer, set the opacity of the layer to 69%, and then add the layer style.

25, now paste the earth icon, add a layer mask. Select a suitable size brush, set the hardness to 0, use this large brush to fade the earth icon, use #000000 color to smear on the layer mask.

26, now put the earth icon behind the fire fish.

27, press Ctrl/cmd + T, hold down the SHIFT key to adjust the Earth until it matches the size of the fire fish.

28, now we start to do the background. Let's choose a background color. I'm using a #112047.

29, this is the use of the background color effect.

30. Create a new layer behind the background, the earth and the fire fish. Use the selection tool to mark your One-third document. Fill it with a deeper color (#0e1939).

31, apply the layer mask, select the gradient Fill tool to make it fade.

32. Use elliptical tool to draw an ellipse. Put it under the fire fish. This will be the shadow of a fire fish.

33, now go to filter > Blur > Dynamic blur, use these settings (you need to do two times, one at a time along the x axis, once along the y axis).

34. Now use the line tool to draw a straight line over the earth, open the layer style, and use some bevel and emboss (I'll let you choose the settings you want to apply).

35, repeat step 34, this is the effect we have done now.

36, create a new layer, using a star brush to draw some stars, which will make the "sky" look more real.
