You could easily draw the ying yang in illustrator, freehand or corel draw…then save it as either a jpeg, tiff wor whatever bitmap format you prefer. if you absolutetly insist on keeping it totaly in photoshop….just go to google and under images do a search for ying yang….and tehre are pleanty of gifs for you there. you could then either trace your image using the pen toon in photoshop…or again a vector drawing program. I understand that you might want to create this completely from scratch….but you are obviously on-line….so why not use the obvious resources available to you.

Hi Folks,
Thanks for all of your kind replies.
Let me rephrase my quest: I’m looking for different and innovative ways of
creating the YinYang (yinyang, yin-Yang, yingyang, etc) sign. I guess it’s kinda
a challenge – I visit this group to stretch and expand my mind, to learn, to see if
there are different ways of doing something in Photoshop. One can easily copy
or draw said sign, but are there different ways of creating one from scratch? In
a sense, I’m asking, "how do you make a circle?", but I address this question to
the Einsteins as well as to the Gomer Pyles.
I could make the sign with a Wacom tab or by freehand. Or, if I want it exact
and mathematical, I could start with a 4×4 slate and use rulers, guides, create
some circles, load, subtract and intersect some selections, fill some colors and
then invert to get the yin and the yang….etc,… But there MUST be other ways…
Thanks, Sanders, I didn’t know that it came with the program. Thanks, Toby,
the site provided showed numerous signs that were inspirational. Clive, this
group is great, isn’t it, there’s a lot to learn here. And Dr. F, I may be wrong,
but my understanding is that the yin/yang idea comes from ancient Chinese
cosmology … thoughts they had about the universe before the world was flat.
