In this tutorial we will design a Feng Shui wallpaper to decorate your desktop in a Feng Shui style with this beautiful wallpaper.

Let抯 create a new file (File>New), having 1600x1200px/72 dpi. Using the Paint Bucket Tool (G) fill the new background layer with black color.



Create a new layer and choose for it a standard brush to represent a spot colored with #173908





Next press CTRL+T and then Maintain aspect ratio solution to enlarge uniformly the spot on its central part.



Now it抯 time to represent the primary layer reserved for the YING YANG symbol, applying the Ellipse Tool (U) and the color #E8E8E8




We抣l select the next demonstrated parameters by making a mouse click on the layer we work with on the layers?panel: Blending Options>Drop Shadow



Blending Options>Bevel and Emboss





Let抯 create a new file (File>New) of 4x4px/72 dpi. Here there must be selected the Pencil Tool (B) (brush 2 px) to draw a kind of pattern like the one from below. The color chosen is black and the background this time is absent.



Edit>Define Pattern
Create a new layer and select for it Edit>Fill option.



Set the next demonstrated parameters for the layer containing the made pattern: Fill 20%


Press Alt button and make a mouse click between the texture抯 layers and the primary layer of YING YANG symbol (on the layers?panel).





On the next new layer (Create new layer) we抣l apply the standard brush mentioned above that will be useful for painting the half of the YING YANG symbol.



Make a mouse click on the same layer on Add a Mask selection, situated on the bottom part of the layers?panel and choose the standard brush of black color and Opacity of 25% to clean out those zones of white color along the symbol抯 edges:



Press Alt button and make a click between the layer of white color and the previous layer on the layers?panel:




Applying the earlier described method for painting with white color of a symbol抯 half, we may paint and clean out also the right side with the color #4B3B32. Don抰 forget to press Alt option and click between the necessary layers:





On a new layer (Create new layer) try drawing several shadows on the white half, using the earlier mentioned brush and grey color (Opacity of 10%).

Press Alt button and click between the shadows?layers and the previous layer on the layers?panel:





Choose the Pen Tool (P) and the Convert Point Tool to represent a kind of deepening in relief on the symbol抯 surface, using the color #656565



Make a mouse click on the same layer on the bottom part of the layers?panel on Add a Mask selection and take a standard brush of black color and Opacity of 10% to erase the zones containing the deepening.




The layer抯 parameters: Blending Options>Stroke



Gradient抯 parameters:





On the next new layer we抣l apply the earlier mentioned standard brush to hide an edge of the deepening with the color #D2D0D0.



Make a copy of the earlier represented layer containing the deepening in relief. Select after that the Free Transform option to turn over the copy, placing it the same way as below. Change the basic color on #2D241F and try cleaning out with the usual brush those zones coming out, applying the same method described above.



Create a new layer and select the standard brush of black color and Opacity of 15% to make darker several zones of the dark symbol抯 half.

Next we抣l draw a black line on the symbol抯 borders between its halves. Firstly we need to draw the primary direction, choosing in this case the Pen Tool (P) and Path mode.




Next we抣l create a new layer and select for it a standard brush of black color (Diameter 3, Hardness 100%). Then changing the tool on the Pen Tool (P), make a right click and select the Stroke Path.



Applying the same method, it抯 possible to draw a white line this time:





Create a new layer, choosing a standard brush mentioned above to represent a spot of big diameter colored with #FFE8CA (Opacity 40%)


Use the Free Transform solution, try to make narrower the spot by it vertical position and place it the same way demonstrated below:





Try to represent a horizontal line on the central spot抯 part, colored with #322A15, applying the Line Tool (U) (weight 3 px).



Make a mouse click on the same layer on Add a Mask selection from the bottom part of the layers?panel and use the standard brush of black color (Opacity of 20%) to clean out the edges from the right and left sides.
