Let me create a digital cloud painting or a galaxy/cosmic effect using few photoshop techniques that I know like Dodge tool, burn tool and smudge tool.

1. Create a new document as shown.

2. That's the new document in Adobe photoshop software.

3.Create a new layer as show. choose 100% as default.

4. Using Gradient tool lets fill with color (# DC7521, #C43903 ) .

5. Use Dodge Tool in the area I have drawn using these settings. (size - 100, Range- Midtones, Exposure-33 % )

6. Now Lets use burn tool in the area show with green pointers. use setting as Burn tool size 50% , Exposure 48.

7. Again Dodge tool is used in the areas I have drawn to create this effect. Dodge size15, Exposure 33%.

8. Draw few yellow color ( #FFED15 ) dots as shown below.

9. Use Smudge tool to stretch the yellow color dots in all direction a little bit. Use Brush size 70, mode Normal , Strength 57%.

10.Now with Burn tool, burn the areas shown below. ( Brush size 30, Exposure 50%. )

11.Draw few more yellow ( #EFED15 ) dots using brush on layer 3.

12. Again use Smudge tool to stretch the yellow dots and expand them.

13. Draw some irregular shape of white color. Brush size 10 , opacity 100.

14. I will again use smudge tool to stretch white painted areas. Smudge tool ( brush size 30, Mode Normal , Strength 100% ) .

15. Now before creating a new layer, click on layer 1 and then select new layer. this is the layer no 6.

16. layer 6 lene ke bad Is layer par Paint Bucket tool ke dwaara color ( # CB002F ) fill karate hain.

16. After Layer 6 is selected, use Paint Bucket tool to fill the color CB002F )

17 Click on Darken option of the layer.

18. Now using Lasso tool create a new shape.
