Ready to take your Procreate patterns to the next level?

In this class, I’ll show you how to bring your fully editable, professional patterns into Affinity Photo, a one-time purchase software that works beautifully alongside Procreate.

We’ll build on techniques from my Easy Half Drops in Procreate class to create patterns that stay editable, re-colourable, and perfectly high-quality.

I’ll guide you step-by-step through building out your pattern in Affinity with automations, editing and exporting it as well turning it into a reusable pattern fill asset you can use to fill mockups or social media and print-on-demand products.

This class is the perfect link between my Easy Half Drop Patterns class and my Print-on-Demand Templates class, giving you a complete workflow from pattern creation to selling-ready designs. In fact this class picks up the finished pattern from the first class class and carries on from there!

If you’re not familiar with how I make patterns using the "diamond method", then you’ll need to start with my Easy Peasy Half Drop Patterns class first. I’ll be providing a sample project from that class for you to continue working with in this class but things will flow more seamlessly if you’ve taken that class already.

What You Will Learn

By the end of this class, you’ll know how to:

Import fully editable patterns from Procreate into Affinity Photo without losing quality
Organise and manage layers for a smooth workflow
Use automations in Affinity Photo to build out seamless repeats easily
Re-colour patterns efficiently and create multiple colourways
Save your patterns as assets to reuse in future projects

Why You Should Take This Class

Learning how to bring your patterns from Procreate into Affinity Photo opens up so many possibilities for professional-level surface design:

Stop flattening layers and losing flexibility in your designs
Avoid fiddly snapping and make seamless patterns with ease
Gain skills that let you sell your patterns on print-on-demand products, create social media assets, or build your portfolio
I’ll be guiding you through a workflow I use myself, with tips, shortcuts, and insights you won’t find anywhere else

Plus, choosing Affinity Photo means no subscriptions or ongoing costs—just a one-time purchase, just like Procreate—so you can focus on your creativity, not monthly software bills!

Who This Class is For

This class is perfect for:

Surface pattern designers who already know the basics of Procreate
Creatives who want to make professional, editable, sellable patterns
Students who have taken my Half Drop Patterns class or are familiar with basic repeat techniques

Some experience in Procreate is assumed, but don’t worry if you’re new to Affinity Photo—I’ll walk you through everything you need to know!
