I firstly created a document on photoshop.

I began with a
blank canvas, stretching it to the size of width, 21, and
height 29.1. I colored it black, then created a new
translucent layer.

I selected the brush tool, loading the moon brushed by

hawksmont that I downloaded online, on the website
Dreambrushes. Com. I made them the size I liked and
each time I drew them, it was on a new translucent layer. I
did this so that if I did not like the outcome of the brush, I
could simply delete the layer.

I colored them different colors, using a broad color palette of

green, blue, red and grey. I liked the way those colors con-
trasted with the black background. Whenever I drew them
and was not satisfied with the result (the placing of shade of
color) I would use the history tool and then draw it again till I
was satisfied with their placing, color or size.

I created another layer, with which I loaded the smoke

brushes, created by Wimm. I drew, plum, black and grey
and green smoke around the planets, creating a depth to
them, that made them pop out and gave them a deep and
contrasting dimension.

On the next layer, I loaded more brusheds that I

downloaded form the internet. I used many
different brushes; from the star brusheds by
hawksmont and organic brushes by Wimm. I
used his branch brushes along with wild leaves
and bamboo brushes that I really like and en-
joyed experimenting with. I used a yellow– green
shade with grey undertones. I Iiked the way it
contrasted with the red, vivid green and grey
planets, and how the black background made it
stand out.
I also used crack brushes by Blastar, they really
brought the piece together. I scattered it around
the piece.
Overall I really liked the outcome of this piece,
