  its bringing in perspective
  and creating depth.

  you would need to create depth using contrast at the bottom and use shading in elements for make it seem like there is some lighting

  I thought that was a pic of naked news for a second.

  I agree with dinky, though.

  you start with some random shades and shape and play with that

  

  start with some abstract shapes and tighten it with the depth you want to create

  the firebrand thing has 3 shapes, left to right swoosh deeper and right to left lower and circular area in the middle, you can feather it to make them combine more
