Today I'm going to show you how to make a nice looking wallpaper in Photoshop. It includes how to make very nice looking leaves, waterdrops and subtle background effects. Enjoy!
Step 1: The Beginning
First open a new document of your screen size, I used my own resolution, which is 1440x900 pixels.
When you've did that, choose 2 nice blue colours, the I used #0090ff as foreground and #003ebd as background colour.
The wallpaper of this week is a beautiful image created by Justin Maller, a freelance illustrator and art director based in Melbourne, Australia. He has been creating digital art for over eight years, and has produced professionally in both a private and studio based capacity for the last three.
