Learn how to create Butterfly Wings in Photoshop. |

| - Step 1 |
| Ok, first off. Create a canvas with a black background. Immediately create a New Layer. Then using the Pen Tool create a "leaf shape" like the one shown below. |
 |
| - Step 2 |
| Right click on the layer and choose Make Selection . Feather Radius must be 0 and the Anti-aliased box checked. Do not deselect just yet. |
 |
| - Step 3 |
Next to do is to choose Select > Feather . In this example, I set the Feather Radius to 5 . You can set your own value or follow the one I used.
Then, right click on the layer and select "Rasterize layer"
Delete the selection and you'll end up with this image[press delete]. |
 |
| - Step 4 |
| Now, create duplicates of that "leaf shape" and rotate them to make a "fan". You can change the sizes and flip each part for contrast just like I did here. |

For this part, I've hidden the other layers so that you can understand this particular procedure.
Duplicate one leaf part and Choose Filter > Blur > Motion Blur. Depending on the angle of the leaf you have, adjust the angle of the blur to about +/- 10 degrees and the distance to about 50 so that you have a blur that sort of extends outward to the borders of your main leaf. Look at the picture below to see what I mean. |
