Tips for Making Galaxy Art

  • Use colors in the same family for the most cohesive galaxy.
  • Use the stars sparingly, especially the flare stars.
  • You can edit the brushes to work how you want.
  • Use both light and dark shades.
  • Place stars in the lighter areas to make them look like they’re glowing in the night sky.
  • Make the nebula brush big for the best results.
