Photoshop Tutorial: Create Beautiful Light and Shadow Flowers

Idea: You can make some patterns at will and then press Ctrl + Alt + Shift + T to copy according to a certain pattern. The pattern can be combined with multiple patterns to make the effect more obvious!
1. Create a new 600 * 600 pixel file background and fill it with black. Create a new layer and use the pen tool to outline the path shown in Figure 1. Then press Alt + Enter to turn it into a selection and fill it with white. Do not cancel the selection and create a new layer. Select the menu: Edit > Stroke, set the value to 2, and set the color to white. Then hide the layer, return to the fill layer just now, and change the opacity of the layer to 40%.
