In this Photoshop tutorial by Andrei Oprinca, you'll learn how to create an abstract wallpaper with colorful elements and effects. Oprinca starts by creating a new document with a light gray gradient background, converting it into a smart object, and adding noise.
He then extracts a model's hair using the pen tool and refines the edges with the refine edge tool. Various shapes are added using the brush tool, lasso tool, and gradient tool, along with adjustment layers to alter the color tone. Lens flares and stock images enhance the composition, and the color balance tool adds the final touch.
This tutorial is designed for intermediate users and includes a downloadable PSD file and a free text version on PSD Box website.
