1. Create a new image with whatever size you want. I chose 300x-300px. Fill the background with black. Create a new layer, and click your gradient tool.
Use these settings for the gradient:

Note: None

Now in your document, draw quite thick lines with the gradient tool Make it look similar to my picture.
