This lesson I'll show you how to represent colored ornaments from the smoke by choosing a prepared set of brushes and certainly, the possibilities of the Photoshop program.

For the beginning, open a new file of the necessary size: File – New (ctrl+n)

Then paint the background's layer in white, selecting the Paint Bucket Tool.

).

Select the Brush Tool of black color and create a new layer: Layer – New – Layer.
All that we have to do now is representing the ornament.
First represent a dot with one of the brushes.
