This tutorial is very simple, yet has great results, all that is used is the filter polar co-ordinates.

Continue reading for the complete tutorial.

The final image looks something like the image pictured above.

To create this piece you first need a new document, make it 600 x 800, RGB color, and have a black background. Get out the white brush and draw a couple of random doodles. It should look like something the image above.

Next we are going to use the polar coordinates filter.

• Go to filter
• Distort
• Polar Coordinates

If at first your image doesn’t look right (it shouldn’t so don’t worry), use this filter a couple of more times (press ctrl+f) and you should end up with something similar to the image below.

You should reach something similar in about 5 times, you will notice that there are a number of different versions that can be achieved, I chose this one for no particular reason.

To color this you have to go to:

• Image
• Adjustments
• Color Balance

Drag the color scales to whatever color you want.

The final image created is depicted below.
