OK Lets get started!

To complete this tutorial, you will need the following stocks:

Smoke Brush

Step 1

Create a new document (size doesnt really matter) with black background. Create a new layer and grab the Elliptical Marquee tool with the following settings:

1 ellip set Create an Abstract Golden Circle with Smoke Brushset in Photoshop

Hold down the Shift key, and draw a circle shape as shown below:

1 draw circle 500x378 Create an Abstract Golden Circle with Smoke Brushset in Photoshop

Right-click on the selection and select Stroke:

Stroke the selection with the following settings: (2px with white colour)

1 stroke set 500x340 Create an Abstract Golden Circle with Smoke Brushset in Photoshop

Reduce the opacity of this layer to around 40%, and here is the effect so far:

Step 2

Now lets use the smoke brushset to add some textures around the circle. Create a new layer and pick one brush from the set, paint as shown below: (Reduce the brush size to a smaller scale before you paint)

Use the Warp tool to adjust the shape of the smoke texture as shown below:

Use a soft eraser to remove the edge of the smoke texture so it fades into the circle:

If youre having a hard time with this step, check out this video tutorial I have below:

Duplicate this smoke texture layer a few times and attach each of those layers around the circle:

Hint: Use the free transform tool to rotate each layer and adjust the shapes as you go.

Merge all these layers of smoke textures together, and duplicate this merged layer a few times. Use the free transform tool to rotate and resize the duplicated layer a few times, in order to add some more effect:

Create a new layer and paint some smoke texture inside the circle, then reduce the layer opacity to around 20%:

Add the following levels adjustment layer on top of all previous layers:

Add the following layer mask on this levels adjustment layer:

Here is the effect so far: (As you can see, by adding this levels adjustment layer, we increase the contrast and depth of the smoke texture)

Step 3

Now lets add some simple light effect on the circle. Create a new layer on top of all the previous layers, and use a soft white brush to do a single click to the position shown below:

3 paint1 500x342 Create an Abstract Golden Circle with Smoke Brushset in Photoshop

Warp this layer with the warp tool and transform this light dot into a curvy shape as shown below:

3 warp 500x441 Create an Abstract Golden Circle with Smoke Brushset in Photoshop

As you can see, now we have some highlight on the circle:

3 effect 1 500x288 Create an Abstract Golden Circle with Smoke Brushset in Photoshop

Duplicate this light layer a few times to enhance this light effect a bit:

3 dup 500x328 Create an Abstract Golden Circle with Smoke Brushset in Photoshop

Repeat this process and add some highlights on the top left corner of the circle:

3 light top 500x286 Create an Abstract Golden Circle with Smoke Brushset in Photoshop

and here is the effect so far:

Step 4

We can add some cloud effect around the circle. To do this, create a new layer and draw a circle selection with the elliptical marquee tool (40px feather), render some cloud with the cloud filter within the selection:

4 render 500x429 Create an Abstract Golden Circle with Smoke Brushset in Photoshop

Hit Ctrl + L and apply the following levels adjustment to this cloud layer:

4 lv1 500x264 Create an Abstract Golden Circle with Smoke Brushset in Photoshop

Then use the warp tool to warp the cloud as shown below: (this creates some motions around circle)

and you will have have following effect so far:

Step 5

OK were almost done! For some final retouches, we can add the following extra effect to improve the overall result.

I added some smoke texture on top and bottom of the circle for some extra flowing effect:

I also added some particle effect around the circle: (For details steps of creating this particle brush, you can check out Step 3 of this tutorial)

To add some golden colour to the image, I added one Color Balance adjustment layer on top of all layers:

5 col sha Create an Abstract Golden Circle with Smoke Brushset in Photoshop

5 mid Create an Abstract Golden Circle with Smoke Brushset in Photoshop

5 high Create an Abstract Golden Circle with Smoke Brushset in Photoshop

Lastly we can flatten the image, then apply this Reduce Noise filter settings below: (By doing so we can sharpen the effect, and reduce the colour noise for the circle shape)
