1. Create a New Document about 800X600 pixels, name the
background – Tribal Background. Then create a new layer-name your layer –
Tribal 1. Grab your circular marquee tool and drag out a fairly sized circular
selection and fill it with black. Now with the selection still present press
your up arrow key about 20 times. Then press your delete key or backspace and
you should be left with a small piece of your circle. This will be the foundation
for our piece of tribal art.
2. Take off your crawling ants using the magic wand. Now duplicate the layer and go to Edit>Transform>Flip Vertical. Now
you may position your pieces like mine. Now duplicate that layer and go to
edit>Transform>Rotate 90 Degrees CW. And position it accordingly. Then
duplicate that layer and go to edit transform>Flip Horizontal and position
it.
This is the basis of it.
You can keep going adding more sections, rotating, flipping, etc. Try Sizing
some of your pieces down or making other shapes and adding them to it. (Hint: Link 2 layers together and then
click the little arrow in the top right corner of your layers palette and
select \"Merge Linked\", Now duplicate this piece and rotate it and
position it. This gives you more variety).
Above is a sample of my tribal art.
