Here's a few simple steps to simulate fractal images. Though, not a walk-through as such, just a few pointers on what tools to use to achieve these.
First, start a new document, I used 500X500 preset.
Next, select the 'Gradient Tool (G)'

Then, just to the right of the Gradient Preset Picker, select the second style called 'Radial Gradient'. Finally, create a new Layer above the default Background Layer and fill it with Black. Then create a new empty Layer Shift + Ctrl + Alt +N (Mac: Shift + Command + Option + N) just above the filled black Layer as I have captured below.
![]()
Next with Layer 2 and the Gradient Tool active, click and drag a single
radial gradient somewhere in the center of your document.
![]() Note: There's no particular goal here, and each click and drag action creates something random. So, at any stage you can always duplicate the Layer for further experimentation. Next, start a new click and drag radial gradient from just outside the rings toward the center. (As I have captured below)
![]() This will achieve a result similar to the below capture.
![]() Again form the center of the original radial gradient click and drag to create another one towards the center of the second radial gradient.
![]()
Simple repeat the radial gradient click and drag back and forth until a desirable fractal effect is achieved.

After a half a dozen applications.
