  1. Using the Pencil tool at 1px Black, we will draw lines horizontally and vertically along the guides (except for the top and left sides). To give the lines a more tiled look, we can uncheck Snap to Guides, and draw some more lines directly next to some of the edges. The look we are going after is represented below:
    1. Tiled look
  2. Next, we click on Layer 1 (or whatever name you chose). We'll use one of the Paintbrush tool's Spatter texturesSpatter paintbrushwith the RGB color 205, 141, 124 saved before. (Brush size should be 35px, Mode: Normal and Opacity: 75%). Then we draw feather shaped paint patterns in various areas
  3. Now, we add another new color and save. R: 209, G: 194, B: 193. With this color, we brush with the same settings as before in adjacent areas to the darker paint shapes. The drawing should look as pictured below:
    1. Brush shapes
  4. We now Add Noise with an Amount of 4 and Gaussian setting. Then we use the Motion Blur filter with an angle of 0 and a distance of 3
