Looking for a Tutorial on flowing lines...

[jocelynaz]

Anyone know of a tutorial I can view to learn how to do the flowing lines as the image header in the link below? I don't even know the proper terminology to explain this look. Anyone know?? I could only explain it as "flowing lines" (LOL) that look almost airbrushed.

I have a photo that I want to use for a website I'm designing and I like the effects of the brushing lines...

Don't know how that one was done, but it is certainly doable in photoshop CS4. There is a Scott Kelby book out there in bookstores about creating visual effects with CS4 and it had a lot of similar designs explained there. It's pretty much pre-set shapes, stretched as smart objects and colored with gradient fills from color to transparency. I'm more into photography then graphic design, so I did not get that book. But you'll find it in any big bookstore or on amazon.

It's the pen tool, and it's a bit of a pain to learn, but wonderful if you can master it.
