Faces

This tutorial is very simple, yet has great results, all that is used is the filter polar co-ordinates. The final image looks like this.
























To create this piece you first need a new document, make it 600 x 800, RGB color, and have a black background. Get out the white brush and draw a couple of random doodles. It should look like something this.






















Next we are going to use the polar coordinates filter.
Go to filter ->
Distort -> Polar Coordinates....

If at first your image doesn't look right (it shouldn't so don't worry), use this filter a couple of more times (press ctrl+f) to this a couple of times until you end up with something similar to this.



This should happen after about 5 times, you will notice that there are a number of different versions that can be done, I chose this one for no particular reason.
















To color this you have to go to
image->
Adjustments-> color balance...
Drag the color scales to whatever you want.

The final image created was this.

    youcan do it much more cool lookin' by using render in all 4 corners, wave, twirl, copy layer, flip layer, and then polat cordinates, you can get the "face" looking thing in the middle of a bigger screen, you can't make 2 simlar pics no matter what, I've made something look like an ( not butterfly, not elf, but the little thing E.G. from Peter Pan ) :P

    looks good, did you insert some kind of white glow in the center of your background?
