Step 16 - Colorize

First fill (g) the layer with black, and then, using some dark blues (#0a353e) and greens (#0a3e3b) and a big 300px soft brush, put some color blobs inside the selection.

Step 17 - Blur it

Go to Filters > Blur > Gaussian Blur, and apply a 150px blur. Then deselect the bottom half by clicking outside of it.

Step 18 - Colorize

Create a new layer, and using the same blue and green colors as we just did, paint some more big blobs on the upper half of the image.

Step 19 - Blur it

Go to Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur, and apply a blur of about 200px. We want these colors to be faint, so if they are very bright and stick out, then lower the opacity of the layer a bit.

Step 20 - Center Light

Create a new layer and name it "Center Light". Using a brighter blue (#003b49), draw a big oval shapped blob of color in the center of the image, in the upper half.

Step 21 - Pencil Settings

Select the pencil tool (b) and apply the following settings.
