Creating Abstract Designs like this

[plcoj]

ANy idea how to make the background image? The outline with pen tool? the background image looks layered and colors are not gradients.
If you know any tutorial related to this kind of design, please kindly share with me too!
Thanks!

Hi, this is a fairly intricate design involving many techniques, layers, modes, textures, brushes, etc,.

The main or most prominent pattern could have been created with the Pen Tool. It's hard to tell but that's what I would guess.

It may not help much but you can go to Google Images and do a search on Photoshop abstract background tutorials and see if you can find a tutorial or a combination of tutorials that might help!

Sorry I couldn't help you more.

Do you want to duplicate what you posted or just create abstract effects? This abstract took me about 2 minutes to complete using gradients and lighting effects, but it's not the exact same look.
