Description
Here's my planet creation tutorial. I decided to share my technique of creating planets since I keep getting asked how I make mine. I think this method is a little easier and simpler than some other. The reason I didn't give a lot of information in the texture creation part is because there are a lot of tutorials out there that explain it, so I didn't find a reason to put myself through the effort of writing it in-depth.I hope this tutorial helps you out. I tried making this easy to understand. You don't have to strictly follow these steps, you can experiment doing other things aswell. This is just a basic planet creation tutorial. I think everyone needs to develop their own ways of creating advanced planets, because otherwise everyone's planets will look the same.
Anyways, I hope you find this useful and answers some of your questions on how to create planets in Photoshop.

So many planet tutoritals the results are amazing.. But it takes days to get right. You've seem to get an easy way to create a planet, that is great for the beginers of this kind of art.
Great work.

Thanx alot, I tried this tutorial & it worked great except for step 6...
U need to click-modify-expand (instead of contract), if i'm not mistaken.
I actually opted to use the render lighting effect filter - floodlight, to light my planet.
Added a couple of other kool effects as well.
Check out my results here:
