step 1 of 2

I used this PSDTUTS tutorial as a guide.

It's a lot of layers duplicated and rotated.

The very important thing is the black and white round the beatle.

When we look at the image below, our brain tries to convert it from 2D to 3D. This is because the borders around the ellipses are inconsistent. This confuses us and creates an illusion of movement.
