Sorta, heres a short video tutorial:

Two written tutorials here:
Nebula Painting TutorialTrying to explain nebula painting is like trying to explain how to engineer a bridge (my other profession).  If I start at the very basics we'll all die of boredom before we get a beautiful picture. This is an art tutorial, so I will favor pictures over words.
So, lets start with a crucial idea:
The basis of realistic nebula painting is shape randomness.
I have found that my best nebula are those that I didn't plan at all, they emerged from me haphazardly spraying with a brush and then I picked out some cool shapes.
So lets begin:
Step 1: Background Stars

The creation of stars is outside the scope of this tutorial.  My method is to use a custom brush with lots of size, scattering, and opacity variation.  You can also use noise layers to create a quick starfield.
For a quick guide to stars, see this: Stars from Noise Tutorial by For-as
These stars are painted on a black layer set to Linear Dodge.

ok, that's perfect. I wanted to see your process. that's really cool, you draw everything by hand. I rely heavily on application of filters and effects.

This is so cool! How long does each picture take?

👍: 0 ⏩: 2

cosmicspark In reply to SlimeyTheArtist [2017-01-26 14:17:38 +0000 UTC]

roughly 10-20 hours depending on how much detail and planets I put in.

Is there supposed to be a hidden skull in the picture? Anyway, you never fail to impress me with beautiful space creations.

There isn't supposed to be, but that doesn't mean one didn't sneak in!  Thanks
