Step One

Fill Your Background with Black

Step Two

Grap some of your favourite Brushes and Brush away. The brushes I use are Jashin Brushes 9. Ok. Brushing. Since you have got a Black Background start brushing with White. The key i find is to switch between White and Black. Brush till you have got what you want. I find that on the Last layer you usually have extreme black or extreme white. What I find works is make another layer and use the opposite colour (so If you have mostly white use black and if you have mostly black use white) then when you have finished brushing lower the opacity to about 60 - 70 percent.

This is what I have got so far.
