Step-1:

We are going to start this tutorial by creating a document 400x400 and we will fill it with white. Next, we will create a new layer Layer-New-Layer and we are going to select the Single Column Marquee Tool. Draw a line in the middle of your document and right click it and from the menu, choose Stroke.

Step-2:

We are going to pick a black color but you can choose whatever you want and then the width.

Step-3:

Click Select-Deselect.

Step-4:

We need to get this figure you see in the picture done. To do so, make 3 copies of the layer with the line in it.

Step-5:

You need to rotate each layer to a different position. Go to Edit-Free Transform-Rotate. If you look at the top of the screen, you will see the next picture. Change the angle for that line in the circled box: 90 degrees, or 45 degrees or you can also do it manually.

Step-6:

Angle all the layers until you get the shape we want.

Step-7:

Turn on only the layers that have drawings in them and then go to Layer-Merge Visible. The Background SHOULD NOT BE INCLUDED.

Step-8:

Duplicate the merged layer Layer-Duplicate Layer. Click on Filter-Distort-Twirl.

Step-9:

And copy the data from the picture.

Step-10:

We merge the two layers again but remember not to include the background layer.

Step-11:

And with the previous step, your drawing is all done. You can color it if you prefer.

Step-12:

You can also animate it but that would be another tutorial.

Step-13:

Here is one animation.
