Hello, I have been wondering how some of you have created wallpapers with lots of textures, overlapping layers, shadows, colors, honeycomb patterns, etc. I will tag some users so you know what style of wallpapers I am referring to.

For example by Clipsy-Moon


Maybe some places to find resources, tutorials, videos etc would be helpful thanks. I have been getting more used to doing some design with PhotoShop CS6 but I am a beginner with creating even basic images, there are so many features it does become overwhelming at times because until more recently I have been using just Gimp since it runs native on my Linux installation. So where to start with trying to make this kind of wall?
