3 Patchwork Patterns in Procreate and Adobe Photoshop

1. Welcome to Class: Hello, Skillshare. Let's create three different types of patchwork patterns together. It's time to create even more patterns together. Today we are going to be tackling patchwork patterns. Well, that's what I'm going to be calling them anyways. In this class, I will be taking you through my full process of creating a traditional Patrick pattern, an icon Patrick pattern, and a super fun all over Moore's Moor Patrick pattern. If you love pattern making as much as I do, this class is for you. In this class, I'm going to be going through my entire process as I gather inspiration, sketch, and draw pattern motifs, and procreate and then bring everything into Photoshop to finish as repeatable patterns. The pattern styles are more on the intermediate side, so I suggest that only students with prior knowledge of procreate pattern making and photoshops should join in. But of course, any student is welcome. Just jump right in to the wonderful world of pattern making. You're gonna love it here. Hi, everyone. I'm Christina Hilkranz an illustrator and surface designer from Maria Fred Sweden. Welcome to my CheeryPink Studio. I have been working as a full time illustrator since 2010 and with art licensing agent Pink Light Studio since 2019, I've had the pleasure of working with huge companies like Hobby Lobby, Joanne, Paint Bar Studio Fabrics, Orange Circle Studio to name a few. And I am so excited to share another pattern making way with you in this class. Previously, I have, about 37 classes here on Skillshare that you can check out. So we have created lots of different patterns together, but we've never created these Patrick patterns together, and I think you're gonna really like them. So, let's get started. 2. Supplies and Class Project: To follow along in the class as I do, I will be using the iPad with Apple Pencil in the program Procreate to create all of my motifs, and then I'll be finishing all the patterns in Procreate. You can, of course, if you have another program that you prefer to use, then go with that, of course, but just saying what I'm going to be using. Also, at one note, I finished all of my patterns in Photoshop because Procreate still, even though it's an incredible program, I still has a few things that aren't professional enough for me, such as it cuts off the edges. And when you increase the size, the quality goes down, and I also have trouble with this CMYK setting. So that's why I personally use Photoshop. But if you are still learning and you're just getting into pattern design, please don't let that stop you. You can finish the patterns in in Procreate, especially if you're just creating patterns for yourself or your own shop or on spoon flower. But I highly suggest if you're going to be working with clients in the future, that you should invest in Photoshop too. The class project will of course be to at least create one pattern, but you could create a mini collection of three patchwork patterns that I'm going to be showing you how to create in this class. Like usual, it's totally okay to base your collection off of what I am drawing, but I highly, highly suggest that you make it your own and create original artwork and motifs because I potentially will be selling my artwork, and that would be copyright infringement. So please make sure that you're choosing your own colors, using your own brushes that you like, creating artwork that is personal to you and unique and you're not copying another artist. It's really important. Okay, enough about that stuff. Let's talk all about Patrick patterns in the next section. 3. Intro to Patchwork Patterns: Alright, so patchwork patterns are kind of new to me. It's a kind of pattern that I have gotten into. What can I say that I have discovered or seen has been kind of trendy in the last year or two, and I have started to add them into my portfolio. It's always fun to find a new different type of pattern to add into your collections because sometimes you get stuck doing the same tossed pattern or the same kind of, like, tree of life or the same, checker box pattern. We need to always, like, come up with new things for our portfolio. So we're going to jump into my computer, and I'm going to show you some examples from my portfolio as well as we're going to look at some inspiration on Pinta so that you can have 500 million ideas of where to get started with these beautiful Patrick patterns. And what are they even? Okay. Hello, friends. We are in Paintris now, and I want to share with you tons of inspiration for these three different types of patchwork patterns. And we will start off with the original kind of traditional patchwork, which I'm thinking if you've ever patched up clothes, is just what it sounds like, tons of different patches on top of each other. Like this gorgeous little bunny rabbit kind of thing. Like, how cute is that? You can even I love the idea of having little stitch marks to stitch everything together, so it's been stitched together. You can do it like that. So it's almost like a quilt with different pieces of fabric, you can say. Or I have this example from my my portfolio, I just created different pieces of fabric, like digital pieces of fabric, so they're not like all the pieces are a little bit wonky. They're all different sizes. And then I design different fabrics or, you know, patterns within the pattern, and I put them all together in this wild pattern patrick pattern. So there's like with everything, there's different ways to create patchwork patterns, and that's what the whole class is about. So yeah, you can make it a little bit more haphazard like I have or this example on Pintrist where maybe you could even kind of make it look like you've sewed it together. And there's, again, tons of examples of this. Go back to my Pinterest board. Here I have put everything together. Here's another example of the different layers as if you had different fabrics and you're putting them together, you just have to draw different random sized boxes and rectangles and shapes and then we'll put it together. And Photoshop later, and that's how you're going to get our first Patrick pattern. But it's just fun how it's so it can be it's a pretty wild. It can be, at least. If you have tons of different colors, if your color palette is quite bright. But again, I just want to show you this little with the bunnies. Like, it's soft and it can be really precious, too, and it doesn't have to be, like, wild and all over the place. Here's a very similar too, or if it's in, like, the same fabric, but a different section, like with a little cloud. How cute. I like the little stitch marks around these. So that's an idea that you can bring to your little mini collection of patterns. Let's see if there's any other examples of the traditional patchwork. I guess we could say this is, again, this is with stamps, where it's a similar effect, but just, like, layering up patches of artwork or little patterns to make a pattern. It's really fun. So that's the first one. And then I'm going to move on to an icon pattern, an icon patchwork. So it's a little bit different. It's a little bit more structured than the first one. The first one, you can just seriously just like this one, lots of patches of different fabric and then just move that around until it looks good in when we create the final artwork. So here's an example from my portfolio with floral, so it's really bold color palette, looks really modern. I just really like how it looks and it repeats really easily because I created just a rectangle that's repeated in a grid. But you just have to make sure that you have lots of different icons and make sure that the colors bounce together nicely. But this is a really fun pattern as well, and I'll show you course. Later on in the next sections, how to do this. I also have a second version. I did this one with a happy birthday with little doggies, it's the same concept, but just with a different theme. You can see this doesn't always have to be florals. You can incorporate patchwork patterns into your birthday collections, or this could be turned into Christmas or Easter or sky Salimi. Let's look at some examples of patchwork of the icon patchwork. So here's with squares and rectangles, but with rounded edges. I guess we could even put diamonds into this if we wanted to. Oh, pretty. Anyways, um, what else? We have this. Like, this is just with the same size. I prefer with different sizes. I think it looks a little bit more dynamic like this. But you do what stands out to you. Uh let's see. Here, this is even more like a quilt. You could incorporate quilt elements. Like I don't know what these quilt stars and these shapes are called, but I know that they are classic quilt shapes. So just look that up. Or if you have quilt knowledge, like use that. And that would be an incredible way of creating a quilt icon kind of patchwork pattern. That would be beautiful. I love how it's incorporating illustrations as well into this one. It's not just random shapes or not random. Geometric shapes, lots of triangles and different patterns meshed together. Here's with illustrations, too, and that's really cute way of incorporating illustration more into your work. I would also like to add in for this with the icon patterns, you could do like a tile pattern. I feel like that's almost like a different thing, too, but feel free to do a tile pattern like this, which is lots of squares. You could do at least nine, I think you would have to do. So it would be interesting. Nine different patterns. And then just keep repeating that. I would look stunning. Like this, if you repeated this over and over again into a repeat pattern, stunning. Let's see. What else did I find? Going to make sure I link to this paintressbard, of course, for you so that you have lots of inspiration that you can go for. Like, this is what these are the bright colors and things that really stand out to me. So just like, you can use this theme to do whatever theme you want to do. Here, for example, is with, like, letter writing with olds and like, dip pens and flowers and some text, as well. Like turn that. This maybe as, like, a standalone illustration, but it could easily be repeated. Um, This one, as well. Again, like, just fall on. I just really like the more is more feeling of this kind of collection. Like, imagine having a whole dress that's just, like, all of these icons and patches and patchworks. Like, how cool would that be? Like, can we find one more example of this icon pattern? Here's a little I can show you something that's a little bit more calm and simple. You can still do the same thing. It doesn't have to be so full on. Your color palette doesn't have to be bold and crazy. So here's another example of this. So use softer colors or just a very limited color palette. You could even do two tone, like in this in this example, so like two tones of blue, it's a lot more calming and beautiful. But, yeah, I just want you to know, like, it doesn't have to be as bold as what I'm drawn to. Like, that's what I want to do. I want to do, like, a fol on more, more collection with these patchworks. I haven't quite figured out what kind of theme I want to do. I'm really drawn, like, to these that I that I pinned with lots of fruits and tropical plants and palm trees and things like that. So maybe I'm gonna go that route just because I'm seeing so much of it. But I haven't quite decided. Moving on to the last one is my all over. More is more patchwork. And this is with, like, kind of, like, a hybrid of the two or like a patchwork, traditional one that's just been, like, um, amplified to the max. So here's my example. I have, like, a traditional kind of, like, pattern going on in the background, but then I'm just layering on lots of icons, and it just becomes this wild. Yeah, M is more kind of fun pattern. And examples of that in here is this one. Like, you can see there's some pattern making going on in the back or some kind of structure. But then on top of it, there's oranges and this heart with an eye on it and flowers and fish and things like that. Or here, again, with lots of different fruits on top of a background with different sections of patterns that just kind of melt into each other. So it's just like random pieces of tile or fabric or different patterns in the background layered with icons on top, like lemons and flowers and fruits or here it's almost like a like a vintage Japanese postcard. Oh, what? And then it's layered with, like, the third eye and fruits and things like that. Here's an example more, which is, like, drinks and fruits and things like that. That is really neat. Let's see if we can get an example that doesn't have fruits and stuff like that. Here's kind of like a pottery or tilees with lemons on top. That's really beautiful to think of doing that, something like that. Hmm. But this kind of pattern, you can really just go wild with it like this. Like, it's almost like a scrapbook, almost. Like, if you took lots of clippings from a magazine, then you just put it together and somehow turned it into a repeated pattern, like, what would that turn out as? Like, you could even, like, this one, you could paint a little scene, and then you could do, like, a little poster, and then you could do some tiles, and then you could do some, like, fake fabric pieces that you're going to put. And then on top of that, you're going to have some icons that are floating on top of everything like a lipstick or a flip flop or even here's a figure or a drink or a picnic table, like this is such a fun pattern. I feel like as long as you draw lots of elements that some things are a little bit abstract, like some kind of pattern and then mix it with more bold icons that are really easy to see, like, a lemon or a fish or a glass of something. Here's something a little bit more structured. Here, even with text, that could be really fun. But we're gonna get into this and how it's all gonna come together in the following section. So don't be afraid. But, yeah, I just hope that I have opened your eyes to a whole new way of making patterns or something that you haven't even thought of before. Or maybe you haven't you wondered, like, how do they make this kind of pattern? I hope that I can share or, like, open that up for you in this class. I'm sure I can. Here, this looks interesting. Yeah, here's like with sculptures mixed with, like, clouds in the background, and then stars and moons on the top of it. So I think this is so fun, and this just feels like a kind of pattern that just feels wild and exciting to create. Here's, again, another kind of version with suns and moons. There's not that much in the background, so this one, I think, would look even better for this patchwork class or this style if you had, like, a tile in the background or some kind of pattern that's going on as well. Okay, so that's my introduction to this wonderful world of patchwork patterns, and I hope that you are really inspired and you can take a look at this board. You get like ideas for how to structure yours or different ideas of, like, do you want to do something a little bit calmer, or do you just want to go wild? Do you want to do something a little bit more structured or like, here, this one's really interesting that each tile also has a border around it. So so many ideas, so much that you can do so many different color palettes and themes and things to make it your own and really unique to you. So I'm really excited to continue. And, again, yeah, I need to, like, go through my ideas now and figure out what I want to do. Alright. See you then. 4. 3 Patterns Planning: All right, now that we have figured out what patchwork patterns are and the three different types of styles that we're going to be working on in this mini collection patchwork class thing, then it's time to get started. Okay, so in the following video, I'm going to be sharing with you how I sketch out my collection of three patchwork patterns and you can follow along. And then after that, you can follow along my full process as I bring all of these patterns to life. In the following sections, this is the project part of the class and you can follow along and learn with me or draw with me at the same time. Why not? All right. My friends, now it's time to sketch out my little mini collection of three different patchwork patterns. I'm just going to use This is just a screen size paper canvas in my Procreate app, and I'm just going to draw out three rectangles to represent my three different patterns. And the first one, I'm just going to do my traditional pattern. That's a patchwork. So I'm going to just sketch that out that's going to be like a messy, just overlapping kind of random kind of pattern. And then my icon pattern, I like the ones that I've done previously where it's kind of structured. But it's also, you know, like it looks slightly random, but it's going to repeat nicely. So that kind of thing with different shape boxes, and some are longer, and some are empty. I don't know, depending on the background. I don't know if I can I move in, like, rounder shapes in there, too, just to switch that up? We'll see. But anyways, you need quite a few to make it repeat interestingly and not just have, like, this little section here or something. Like, you need, like, a full quite a few to make it look exciting and interesting. Also, you have to think about when you're going to create this later. This is just a sketch, but when you go to do the final, you have to think about, like, this box is going to repeat to this side. So don't have a square over there that's the same size. That would be boring. Same thing on the bottom. Like if this gonna repeat to this side, so maybe have, like, smaller squares. So up here, it's going to repeat like that, and so on. So just think about that when you're creating your sketch if you want to or when you're creating your final later. So something like that. So it's going to be structured, and I'm going to fill it with different icons, and we'll get to that in a second. And then the last one, I really like how I did my other one that I showed you before. I'm going to have some kind of structured pattern in some sections. So maybe I'll do, like, a checkerboard pattern. Or like, I really like gingham, too. So maybe, like, gingham in certain areas. And I can try to figure out how to maybe make the edges a little bit less not like a perfect square. Mm. What else? And then I can have other little patches of pattern, maybe, like, a floral little, like, sections of floral. Like little flowers or something like that. And then on top of that, I'm going to do my icons, and I still, I'm trying to get started on this and think about what I want my collection. And I think I am really pulled to, like, the tropical vibes, I guess. Yeah, it's hardly spring here in Sweden, but we need to zoom into summertime. So yeah, so maybe I could do some nice palm. They always look so nice, like they go across the pattern so nicely, and then we can do some kind of tropical flowers, and then some kind of fruit like don't know, like a mango or something or coconut could do coconut or other types of palms. So that's just that. So it's just gonna be maybe some kind of citrus 'cause they have nice bright colors. Mm. And then going into the icon pattern, like, here I want some of them to just be patterns like we saw, so like some kind of floral. And then one could be like a stripe or a plaid or something like that. And then one can since it's summer, we can do a sun and we can do, yeah, a palm tree and lots of different fruits, like, to mimic what's going on, I'm not gonna completely copy any of the motifs cause it's really important that you draw new things in every pattern, but you can, like, yeah. Draw something again in a different angle. Like, if I draw mango over here, I can draw a mango differently over here or coconut or something or the same type of flour. Just don't repeat the actual drawing. You just have to draw it again a second way. Uh more abstracted kinds of designs, maybe just, like, with shapes and colors and blobs of color. I could do some with a border, maybe to make that looked really fun to add lots of details in some places. Now, what else? Just more. Just like the idea of mixing pattern with icons of different things in my them. And then the last pattern, as well, I like, again, to have the idea of mixing some illustrations with patterns, maybe I don't know. If I can make it not look super dorky, maybe I could do, like, a beach with palm trees as some of it to make, like, that really, like, tropical destination kind of thing. But I'm going to try and make it if we give it maybe a vintage look, it's not going to look so postcardi and then mix it with florals, really bold florals, and then I'm going to bring in my different stripes and patterns and the abstract things that I was talking about. I don't know what that's going to look like, but abstract blobs of color mixed with stripes and things and then have one just again, with a palm, and a leaf, and then others with different patterns, and then this is going to be repeated and placed on top of each other. So yeah. And some of the patterns are simple, so maybe we could even have just like a simple poker.in some areas, and then some are going to be darker to remember, some are going to be darker and lighter. Alright. So that those are my really scratchy ideas, but just to give you an idea of how I'm thinking about mine, and they always change when I get to the final, but this is so far. Now to think about the color palette. I'm going to just start choosing some colors. I'm really drawn to the super summary bright color palette. I really want to use a super golden yellow I really want that super cobalt or ultramarine blue. I want that hot pink. So that's like my type of primary colors. Like, instead of red, I have pink, and then the blue is, it's like a prime, I don't know. The yellow's a little bit orangier than a regular primary yellow. I think this kind of turquoise color is great for, like, summertime vibes. We need to do a pink to go with that pink. A lighter blue to go with that blue because I like to have some variations of my colors. And instead of the yellow, we need like we need, like, a nice creamy creamy white, like off white, that's good for backgrounds to make it not so crisp white. So that's, like, the main color palette I'm thinking. I also need something dark, so I want to bring a dark blue in here to get some contrast, otherwise, they're all kind of the same. And then maybe this turquoise color, I get, like, a darker version of that, as well to have something dark for that. Also, I drew in the purple. I really like purple, too, so maybe that could be something. To mix in there? What else? Mmm. I really want to try to keep it quite limited. Maybe I can throw in that really nice red, too. It kind of It looks really fun with pink. Pink and red like that. I like that. So I got the red in there, too. Hmm. I think that's good, or do I want something like a weird green, too? That feels really modern. So I'll take that and then, like, a lighter version, too. Alright, this feels really playful and modern to me it feels really summery. I feel like I have enough to draw some fruits, like, yeah, orange. I have orange and yellow for lemons or, like, the leaves, I have both turquoise and that limey green, and I also can use blue. And I have dark send lights. So I feel really happy about this collection if I Yeah, we just have to, like, jump in and get started and see what happens. And yeah, this is gonna be fun because you can't really mess these kinds of patterns up because they are so messy. Maybe only the icon pattern, you have to really think about how it's going to repeat. But the other ones, like, you're gonna just figure it out as you go and create the repeat later rather than while you're designing. So it's nice. You just create the patches, and then we're going to fit it together until it looks good. But, yeah, I'm super excited about this, and I'm loving this color palette. Ooh. Alright, so that's mine decided. Now I hope that you also have gotten some sketches of your little mini pattern collection with these patchwork patterns, and a color palettes done. Now we can get going on the actual motif drawing, which is really fun. 5. Traditional Pattern Motifs in Procreate Part 1: Alright, now that we have sketched out our ideas, it's time to jump into the final version. So in this section, I'm going to be drawing out the motifs for my traditional patchwork pattern. Okay, my friends, now it is time to get started on our final motifs in Procreate. So I'm going to show you my process of how I go about doing this. So I have my sketches, and I didn't color them this time, but that's alright. And I have my color palette, so I'm going to make sure that I press copy here on the layer, copy that, and then I'm going to also share JPEG and save it just to my iPad. Then when I go and create here my final artwork. I'm going to use a canvas that is 11 by 14 " that is RGB color palette. I guess we have to do it again since I'm a teacher. Okay, dimensions, inches, 11 by 14. And I want 300 DPI. With my iPad that I have, I get 71 layers. The color palette. I prefer the RGB. Whatever this one is, that's what I usually use, and that's worked good for me. There is a CMYK color palette, but it, I don't know why, but it somehow sometimes when I bring things over to Photoshop, it has there's been a bug, which is really annoying, so that I obviously do not want. So, yeah, that's it. The dimension. So create. This is my standard. I think 11 by 14 " is a great size because it is a generous size. It's big enough so that it could be, like, a small poster. But it's also like if you work on this, it would be a great size that can be reduced to, like, to a gift bag or even down to a greeting card. And you are able to blow it up to make it larger poster, for example, I usually also use this size when I'm creating patterns because, again, the repeat is a nice, generous size. Repeat patterns don't have to be on a square. That is not a rule. I don't know why most people do squares. I usually do a rectangle. I think that it repeats nicer and you don't see that square. So this is the size I use for patterns, and that's what I'm going to be doing in this class. Okay, so then I'm going to paste in actions and then add paste, and there's my color palette. And then I'm just going to go back to my gallery, and I'm going to swipe it to the left and pres duplicate. And I will get my three I forgot to add my Oh, my gosh. I forgot to add my image, as well. So add insert a photo, and I'm going to add that in. There we go. So I have my sketches here, too, if that would be helpful to us. But here's mainly just chicken scratch, so I'm not really gonna use that. But I will close that out, and I will close the color out palette out now, and I will just create a new layer. We need to start. For this pattern, it's my traditional patchwork pattern, so it doesn't matter what pencil. I'm going to use just a pencil to sketch out this and it doesn't matter what color either we're using. I'm just going to make some random boxes. So I'm going to make some that are long and some that are squares. And then I can look at my sketch, did I? I wanted everything to be square. This was the one that I wanted to try some circles. Okay, so I'll close that out and make them different, like, wits and some maybe, like, skinnier and longer. This is I want to say there's no thought process to this, but of course, it's like a nice randomness. There we go. And then I also on some of the examples that we looked at, I love those stitch marks, so I'm just going to create, like, a to remember to do some stitches that I can use later. So that's it. So then I have to come up with all the different patterns that are going to be within my pattern on these different patchworks. And again, we can look at your inspiration. You can look at the board that I shared with you or you can look at the board or your own board if you created something. But I want to do a mix of things that are a little bit more bold and some that are a little bit simpler. Again, we can look at my sketch if I had an idea. So like I had some stripes and some dots and then some palm and, like, even, like, a little picture of a scene. So we'll do that. Let's do we'll start with some simple ones. Like this one can be an interesting diagonal stripe pattern. And this one I want to be more of the like a palm tree, maybe. Or, which one would be a good palm tree? Maybe this little one. Just like a nice though. So there maybe some coconuts, if that seems good. So there's a palm. I want to do a palm, um a leaf. Let's see what does that look like? Maybe, like I want to kind of, like, simplify it. You think like those monstera leaves, kind of. Something like that, maybe. Mm. Hmm. Maybe a son. Could be interesting. Let me look at my sketches again. Something with dots. Like, random, like, bubbles, almost. Maybe that could be on one of these little ones. And then I want a little scene. I thought that was kind of cute, so, like, a little beachy scene with, like, some palm trees and, like, sun in the background. Or maybe, and then the water could be here. Kind of cute, or I hope so. And what else can we do? I want to do something a little bit more, um, like, geometric, so maybe just some little diamonds here, and then I can do some just decorative elements. Maybe a little circle between, so that one's a little bit more decorative. I think I want something another one that's a little bit more geometric again. So this one maybe we could do, like, something that kind of looks like waves. What does that look like? Ooh, that look weird. We'll make it look better in the final. Whoops. I hope. Something like that. And then we have one left, and this one's quite big, so maybe, what should that be? For this sun one, I feel like I want the rays to go off the edge, 'cause I think that would look better. It would be easier to draw, too. I think for this one, I'm gonna do some kind of citrus fruit fruit, a citrus fruit, some leaves just to get something more organic in here. So there's an orange. I think it will be orange cause that would be a nice color. And then should we place that onto a background that's quite patterned? We can almost make it like a scene, too. So what if I make an interesting tablecloth here? Now I made it difficult for myself with like, let's do it a little bit more straight on so I don't have to think about perspective. And let's do a regular stripe here, maybe. Is that too stripy? I kind of like the dots from that one, so maybe we'll do, like, like, a random something like that. And then kind of with all the roundness. And then in here, we'll do, like, a little, like, flower type form. Okay, so that is all of my little pieces. I kind of feel like they're not enough, so I'll do a second page later, but let's finish these for right now because otherwise, we'll be here all day. So I'm just going to reduce the opacity. So I just see them. And then I'm going to create a new layer and I'm going to open up my color palette, too, and I'm going to make sure to bring that to the top. That's that. Okay. Layer four is what I'm going to be on, and I'm going to use the studio pen, so it's really just clean clean lines for this. Now I have to figure out that I'm going to do the background boxes first. For my little beach scene, I'll do this white little bit bigger. And again, I don't want my lines to be super perfect. So if they're a little wonky, that's good for me. Let's do yellow. We can always mix these around later. Like that. For the sun, maybe I wanted pink background. Um, we need another light, I think, so maybe this stripe could be that, like, creamy color. That creamy color. This one I want quite let's do that one bold so that one can be that super blue. Uh, I'm gonna have lots of green. So what looks good with the green? Another blue, I guess. Blue looks good with green. And we can, of course, repeat colors. So I want to I need a really bold little patch. I'll do that super orange coral for this little one. And I'll use this, like, icy turquoise blue for that one. And then I think I want to make this one the yellow, too. So now I'm going to create a new layer on top of this one, and this one's going to be a clipping mask so I can create all the artwork on top of this. Uh let's see. Let me move the color palette for right now while I work on these ones on the top. And for the stripe, maybe I should just do lots of different whoops. This one I have to be on the right layer. So this is the clipping mask on top of my new squares. Much better. And I'm just going to do a stripe with all the different colors. I'm gonna mainly stick I'm gonna stick to the dark color so that it really stands out on this one. See. Um, do I have all of them? I don't have the yellow. Okay, so there's my little stripy one. We can go in later and add a little texture because this becomes a little bit too flat for me. Like, I don't like quite how flat that is. So okay, next up, I want to do my little suns. I'm going to do all the the rays first. A because I want that sun to be on a different layer in case I want to recolor things. This is Okay, I need to step back. This is how I like to color things. I don't do one color per layer. I just do in layers. Like this is the first layer with details that I'm doing. And then the next time I want to do another layer with items, then I create another well, another layer. So when I'm done with this layer with these items and these colors, then I will create a new layer so that I can create more. So another clipping mask, and here's where I would put the sun. And then if I was gonna draw a little like a face on the sun, then I would do a second clipping mask so that I always have the ability to go back in and and, uh, I'm doing two things at the same time. So difficult to draw and talk at the same time. But what am I trying to say? If I want to go back in and create a little face or details like that, then I have them on different layers. Pretty cute little mouse. Kind of like it wonky like that. Alright, and then we can always turn off the sketch to see what it looks like. And here I can see that circle's a little too wonky over here. What? Okay. I kind of feel like they need little eyebrows. And then here that's wonky too. Like, come on. A little wonky is good, but a little sometimes you do a little bit too much. Okay, some pink little eyebrows, I think would be nice. Okay, so that's my little face. Since that one's only on its own layer, I'm gonna move that around. So that's a cute little face. I'm not sure if I'll keep that I don't know what the I haven't quite figured out the vibe of this. Is it gonna have, like, a little face like that, or is that gonna be completely out of place? I'm not sure. Alright, we'll just continue, and then we'll figure that out later. So I'm going to go back to my first layer of color, and I'm going to add in the Palm, which one do I want to do? Maybe the teal I want to do for this one. And then I'm just gonna Fill that in. Whoops. I forgot the whole. Whoops. And again, if I want to do some veining on that, which I do, I think I'll do that with pink. Then I will do that on that other layer. Okay. Now we can move on to this one and the the blue. I really like the pink with the blue. We'll try that. But yellow also looks good with blue. I think I'll do these try the diamonds in the yellow. I think I want to reduce the size of my brush. It's a little bit too blobby. Is this better? Yeah. What was that on? Now it's on size 13. And I'll do the pink for the circles. And I want to use that super. So far, I haven't used that hot pink, so maybe I won't use that at all in any of the collections. We'll see. I'm loving how poppy these colors are. Kind of feel like, um, I'm not sure if I'm gonna use white white, but I like this light yellow. I want to kind of add. Do I want to add in something, 'cause they're all gonna be meshed together. There's not gonna be so many, like, highlights. So let's see what does it look like if I do something like this. Maybe we like it. I have to remind myself that this is, like, a very mores more kind of collection. I think I like that. Mm, like, do I want a whoops that wasn't there? Like a highlight on the sun. Does that make sense? Hmm, I'm not sure. I'm not sure if I like that, but we'll keep it. And, uh, moving on. We just now moving on. We just keep going to all the different um, sections of this piece. So what colors do we want to use here? So maybe for the trunk of the Let's see which one are we on? Let's go down to the bottom. I'll use this one for the trunk of the palm tree. And then moving up another layer, I will do those shapes. Okay. And then if I want some veining or details in that, what would I want to do? Maybe I'll try the orange. And again, I would want to move that on a different layer. So if I want to change that, I can easily do that. Does this look crazy? I don't like it. Should I do the coconuts in that color? I think that makes more sense and it looks cleaner. And then I want to do some lines in the trunk of the palm tree. So, like that. So that's that simple one done. If I do these with the green, do I like that better? I think I like that. Now for this next one, I want to bring, again, back that light color so we have some lightness. I'm going to do some dots with those first. And remembering to go off the edge so it looks like you've kind of cut out a piece of fabric so it doesn't look so they're not all like pieces like that that are within the lines. Okay. Well, now I'm up there. That's stupid. Oh, see, this is the problem with multiple layers and having a human brain. Okay. But anyways, start again. So you have to constantly look and make sure that you're on the correct layer, 'cause that's very helpful. Otherwise, your whole plan with all the different layers and making it easy to be able to make changes that, um, doesn't work, then. Okay. That was my idea for that, and then I want to go to the next level and layer and I want to bring in some different colors, and I kind of want to, like, add those in also kind of randomly. So almost the white is the is like a shadow, maybe. We could say. So I'm gonna use some of these. And I'm trying to make it as random as I can. How many other What other color would look good? Maybe this turquoise to? Maybe I'll keep it like that. Let me just turn off the sketch. That looks fun. Okay, for these waves, I'm going to see what it looks like with this darker turquoise and try to make this one kind of simple. How do I make waves that look kind of okay? Does that look okay? Okay, that one's pretty simple. So it's nice to have that mix of things like a stripe and that. I think I'm going to go back and get rid of those white lines. I kind of really don't like them. So then we remember which where they on this one. So then I can go in and just erase that. I think it will be fine. I can use this white color for the stitching. So that could be something that could bring in those little highlights. Okay. That feels better. I want it to be a little bit cleaner. Okay, now we're gonna go to my little beach scene here. So how do we do Make that look good? Let's go to the bottom. We're on the bottom layer. And then the sand, I guess I will make that one the yellow color. And my sun can be orange. And then my water, should I do the blue? Because we haven't used much of the blue, really. I like that. And at the edge, the shoreline, I want to do a little bit of the lighter blue. Like that. And then I guess I thought those palm trees look pretty good, but just to make it a little bit different, I'll do I'll do teal palm trees instead for this one. These are on the same layer again, yes. So I want to do those on a different layer. Gosh. Okay. I work I try to work fast, but sometimes, yeah, you need to think about what you're doing. Okay, again, we want another layer for the Whoops. My little simple palm trees here. I like that it's overlapping the sun there a little bit in the mix. That looks nice. And then these ones are a little bit bigger, so I'll make sure to get those off the page a little bit to make my scene look a little bit more interesting. Okay. Maybe I'll use this. Let's see. What does it look like with a couple little? Do I like that? A little dots of sand or something. And this one, if I do details with this green, and the trunks are on the bottom layer, so I can use this one. If I do this, does that give it some little interest Makes it look a little bit less flat. I think we'll skip coconuts on that one since there's already so much going on, and then we have the last little piece down here. So we have to move the color palette. Mm, we also have all these stitch marks, and I think I'm gonna do those on its own layer, so I can do that first. So I definitely want those to be many of them white. So I want a selection of white stitch marks. But then it could be interesting to have different colors. So maybe some stitch marks that are orange and maybe the blue would be fun. Or the light turquoise. I don't really know how many I want, or I didn't use the dark blue. I'll skip that. Pink is always good. So we'll do a couple of those stitch marks over there and see which one we end up using or if we use, like, a mix of all of them. Okay, back to our little scene down here. So this one I want I think I want to use that really blue, so I'll do that. And then on top of that, I need to do my little pattern here, and I think, well, let's do this nice blue, or do I have a lighter blue? Yeah, I'll use the lighter blue. Oh, yeah. 'cause it's a t I will cut that off later. Fill those in. Okay, I just need to erase the tops of those so that it looks like it's on the like the tablecloth or whatever this is mimicking. Okay. Good. And then we need to make a pattern in those. And let's see. First, I also need the orange. The orange is gonna be that color, so maybe I should do pink, obviously. Again, I just want to erase those so that they get cut off. Okay. Now we need to do another layer because now we've already used up all those layers, but this one's a little bit more complicated. So I'm gonna do another clipping mask, and then I'm going to choose my beautiful bright orangy red and turn that into my orange. And on top of that, I guess we need to do another clipping mask, and we'll do the dark green for the stem. And then I can use the yellow, I guess, for my and the light one, too, the light white. Does that look good? Maybe. I don't think so. I prefer it plain, and then another layer on top of that. I'm gonna do my my little leaves for my oranges. And then I was gonna do a background color there, and I think I should, because otherwise it becomes a very big block of just plain yellow, I think, right? What should I do? Maybe more of those, just the cream color for the light. Okay. Now, we're just going to take away my sketch and the color palette and take a look at this, and I think it looks very sweet. But it's very flat. But, I mean, sometimes when you create flat artwork, it's going to be printed on something that has texture. Like this is going to be a pattern, so maybe it would end up on fabric. So fabric has all that variation with the threads and so it could look really nice. But I think I just want to add a little bit of variation. And texture in here just so something's happening. So on top of this layer, the top layer, I'm going to do another clipping mask, and I love to do I've shown this in many classt. I love to do a what are these called Adjustment layer. So from normal, here you press the N to normal, and I switch it to soft light. This seems scary, but it's not. And then I don't take black black, but, like, a dark charcoal gray. And then we have to choose a brush that has nice texture, maybe use something that's in pro grade. So this artist crayon, I believe is one of the regular. Let's see how that looks. And then you can just go in and give a little bit of texture to some places so something else is going on. So it doesn't look so flat. Just makes it look a little bit more, I don't know, lived in, something's happening. There we go. I'm a lot more pleased with that. So those are my little icons, and I believe that this would be really great. But I want to show you how I can also make this pattern a lot more interesting. And that is to duplicate all these and recolor them so that we have a lot of variation to choose from. 6. Traditional Pattern Motifs in Procreate Part 2: You don't have to recolor everything, but for the most part. So I'm going to take all of these layers. You just swipe to the right to highlight them. I'm going to group them. And once it's in a group, I can swipe it to the left and duplicate it. So now I'm going to close out this original group, so I have that, and now I'm going to start working on recoloring these ones. So this is what's going to be great about having all of this on different layers so I can easily go in and change stuff. So for that sun, I think I'm going to keep the sun yellow, but let's do blues for that. So I'll use that light blue to change the background from pink, and then I'll use the dark blue to go into the other layer and make the red. They weren't connected, so I have to recolor all of them. So, so that one's done. For this leaf, we could change let me get my color palette back up. Let's change the leaf color to that green. So I'll do that. And then the background color maybe this intense orange. So we'll just do that. Maybe the vining needs to be different color, too. There, too blue. See how quick this goes when you have everything on different layers. I'm using a very non textured brush. If you are using a very textured brush and you need to get into certain areas, you can also instead of pulling the color I can show you for example, let's see. I don't know if you wanted to recolor one of these stripes, so we go into the stripes and you can put this on Alpha lock, and then you can choose a different color that you want to change, and you just paint over instead. Which I'm still on the artist's cray and that's why it's weird. So yeah, you just paint over this section that you wanted to do instead. I don't want to do that, though. I hope that made sense. I'll bring this back. It doesn't need to be apa locked. I think for that one, let's just try what happens if we just change the background color. What color haven't we? We haven't used this, like, turquoise color that much. So that one I did need to recolor, and maybe I will use the cream. Let's see if I can find there the stripe. And I think I want to do another stripe like that. That looks nice. Then we'll move on. I think I'll keep my little scene here the same or another way to make these feel like there's something new is to flip the entire group so that it's going to be the opposite way. So when you're highlighting the group, and you can go to this arrow symbol and then you can flip horizontal. So now everything's flipped. So then it also becomes like you've made huge variants of all these. So now we're just going to keep going with the recoloring. So I've done those, and maybe for this tangerine one, we can just simply recolor the tangerine. Like this. The yellow instead. And then the background we can do. Wait, I need to make sure I'm, pink. And then just make this blue, that color. That changed that one, which is interesting. But that's cool. We can make all the other waves this greeny color. That look nice. Okay, so those are done. Uh, maybe also I could make that blue instead. That looks kind of fun. Alright. Let's we need to make this bubble pattern down here, different color scheme. Mm again, should I do that turquoise? And then I'm gonna use I haven't used that purple very much. I used it for one stripe, so I feel like that needs to be in here. So that was the white dots. So make all the pink, the purple. And all the turquoise, I'll do yellow. That looks nice. Definitely need to change this one. So shall we do that purple, too, so we use that color? Purple. And then I like the yellow in there. I think we need to get this green in there. So which one has all of the Again, like, I want to show you that if I alpha lock and I have my pen, I could paint in this if you prefer to do that, as well. Sometimes it feels like it takes forever to pull like this, but goes almost quicker to paint them in. Maybe the pink dot should be blue just to make that different. Or should these be blue? Yeah, I make it a little bit more different. And then the yellow can be the circle. Okay, now we've done those. I feel like we do need to switch these up a little bit, but let's just change the palms here. We'll just change those to this green. I feel like that's good enough. Should we make the sun pink? There, that looks different enough. Let's change this one. Again. Let's do we'll make the palm the turquoise color. I need to bring those back, my color palette. So the trunk of the palm tree? Are we there? Yes. That one and then the top L's, like like this. And then the background, should we do a white background for this one? Okay. And the coconuts can be pink. Let's see. And then these little details here definitely need to be I like the green in there, but here, maybe the yellow would be fun. So we have to look where were those tick marks? Are they here? Yeah. Right? Yes. So I'll flock that and then just paint those in. Okay. Have you done all of them now? I think so. So again, I'll hide that. So I hide so I hid the color palette, so now we have a variation of all of these different pieces in a second color palette also flip so they kind of feel like you redrew everything, even though you did not. So I'm really happy with that. So now I can show you here if I turn off this group, here's the second version. And here's the first version we created. So we have two different ones. So those are our first motifs for our first pattern created in Procreate, we're going to upload this all of these layered files as a PSD file. And to do that, you press share here and you press PSD and you upload it to whatever however you do that to your computer, if you AirDrop or if you do Dropbox like I do, and we'll open that up in Photoshop in a later section, but now it's time to move on to the motifs in our next Patrick pattern which is our icon pattern. 7. Icon Pattern Motifs in Procreate: Alright, time for the next one. This is going to be our fun icon pattern, so let's get started drawing that one. All right, so we're going to open up our second document. And this time, we're going to be doing our icon patchwork. So I'm also going to bring in insert a photo and bring in this sketch so we can remember what our ideas were and the setup, et cetera. So for this one, because I do like how the setup is, I'm going to turn off my sketch not sketch. Turn off the swatches, and I'm gonna blow up this sketch. And so it takes up the entire screen. Music. I need to. And I quickly covered and when we were doing the sketches, I quickly covered how this repeats. So how I'm going to do is just like a simple grid. So whatever is over here is going to repeat over here, so I don't want the same kind of shape next to that. So there's a big square here, so here's, like, a rectangle and the same thing down here. Like here's a big square and here's small. And over here, the same thing, that's different. And on the top, here's that. So I set it up so that it's there's nothing that I can see that's repeating the same. Like, here's going to be a box, but maybe there'll be different sizes. So I'm just going to use this as my template, which will make my life easier, of course. Since I already did all that brainwork, I might as well use it. And for this kind of pattern, we can do a background color. And so in between the lines, that could be a certain color. I think maybe to keep this clean because it's so bright that I do want that, like, um, this creamy yellow color, just because I think if I have a bright color, too, that's it's gonna go a little crazy. So I make sure that's selected, and then I press background, and it's here in history then. So that's my background color set. Now I just I'm going to turn off the swatches, and I'm going to make a a layer on top of my sketch here, and I'm gonna go in with that studio pen again and just add in all my boxes. Actually, I want to bring my swatches to the top so I can choose colors. But I will move it down Blow there. I'll move it down to the bottom while I work on the top. So I don't know. Just start. And again, I'm making it random. And I want I don't want it to be perfect. If you're somebody who likes it to be perfect, you can open up the grid and work with a grid instead, and that works, of course, too. And then, um, I haven't really decided what's going in these squares, but I like having the squares already colored that, to me, feels easier. I go to remember to use that purple because I used it a little bit. As you can see, I got pretty close to that edge, and that's fine because I have a lot of space on that side. So I think that that's going to work out. I'll have to remember at the bottom that I have quite a lot of space up here, so maybe make my shapes down here go quite close to the edge. Maybe not these ones, but the other ones. Right, and then just got to keep going. I also like the idea of leaving spaces open, so maybe I'll leave that space open and a space over there, as well. So I won't do that one or maybe in the middle there. So I'll keep that one empty. I'm going to move my swatches. Oh, I'm working on the swatches again. To so that I don't have to start over. I'm going to select what I'll do the select tool like this and then copy paste. These watches come on their own level again, layer again. And then here I'm just going to simply erase them. Okay, that was typical. So, yep. Now I need to open that up and I can move that to the top. With some of the really bold colors, you have to really remember to move them around the scene. So the yellow is definitely something that's gonna pop out in this pattern, also this orange, so I have to make sure to use that several times so it's not just one square, like, or the circle. Like, if that was the only yellow thing, you're gonna really it's gonna really stand out in the pattern. So I want that to be repeated at least once, but I think three looks really nice 'cause then it bounces, like in a nice triangle. So I'm going to do that with the orange color. I'm gonna remember to repeat that. And then also have to remember, again, if I have yellow here, I don't want one of these to be yellow because then it would be too close. So I think let's see with this orange, Maybe this one. And I'll do a small square two. And then the blue is also quite bold, so I'll do that one, too. I'll do this corner. So now that's been repeated three times nicely, and it will be here and it will be repeated there, one, two, three. That looks good. The pink we need to repeat. Maybe this one over here. And this light one, I like this circle shape. Which one should we keep empty? We'll keep that one in between empty, so maybe we'll do this one as this light color, too. It Could be nice. Purple. We can do that as the circle over here. What other color do we want to repeat again? We haven't used this teal very much. But of course, we can remember that we're gonna be using them within the pattern or in the shapes as well, but I just wanted to remember to use that. So Uh, but I think I'll go for that green. Okay, so I'm happy with that and they're bouncing around nicely with the colors, and I think that here, the yellow repeat over here, and these colors will repeat here. And I feel that I haven't messed up anything, but we'll see once we get to the next when we bring it into Photoshop and see how it all works. So I'm going to Did I do that again? Look at me. I I'm I am useless at this, so, okay, now I'll do that again. Alright. Then I will merge those two. Okay, I'm gonna bring my sketch to the top so I can remember any of these, but they're all like chicken scratch. There's nothing here that I need to really remember. Like, the palm tree and the yellow one, maybe that's cute. So we can start with that. So let's create. Like we did for the previous section, I want to create a clipping mask on top of these squares, and we're gonna draw on top of them. And here I have my colors. So again, like I did last time, I'll make a nice, simple palm tree. And then I need to make another layer when I'm doing the palm they called ferns, Palm froms? Oh, that doesn't sound right. And then another layer. We'll do pink coconuts. And maybe this red for this color. Look kind of bold and cool. Alright. So that was, like, our only idea for icons. But like we did last time, I want to do some that have some that have an icon and some that have just patterns, so it's a mix of different things. But this is the part that takes forever. So, I mean, since I walked you through the entire process last time, I think that this time, I will just create this as a time lapse and you can watch as this is being created. And Okay, so I'm done with all my little icons. I think they turned out pretty cute. Some of, you know, as a group, I think it looks good, but some of them maybe aren't my favorite, like this one or this one, but it does matter when they're all together. And for this pattern, I don't think that you need to do a second version. You could if you wanted to, but I think it's great just to repeat this over and over again. It's gonna be great. So before I do that, I'm just going to do my layer of the what's it called? To give my adjustment layer, to give some texture and shadow. So again, I'm going to use that charcoal color. I do that clipping mask. I make your adjustment layer down to soft light. And then I was using the artist crayon. I have two different ones. So this is for the separate the little icons that are on the white background. So I'm going to do those first. Like that. It was just those three. And then on top of all the other ones, I'll do another soft light adjustment layer that's also on a clipping mask to clip to all the other ones. So then I can just go in and give a subtle texture to everything. So just something else is happening. I love how that's just so simple and it just makes everything come a little bit more to life. It has something that's happening, and you can make some of them have more texture than others, and others a little bit more simple. So that's that. That is this pattern complete, and I will show you how to put it into repeat in a following section. So again, just make sure to export this by pressing Share and then PSD, so you get all these beautiful layers and you bring that into Photoshop via AirDrop or through Dropbox or Google Drive or whatever you use to come to transfer your procreate files to your Photoshop or your computer. 8. Maxi Pattern Motifs in Procreate: A and then we, of course, have our Moors Moe all over Pat orkPatternT is going to be even more fun because it's gonna be exciting to show you how all these random things are going to be able to pull together into a really cool pattern. Alright, friends, now we are on the third and final pattern type, and this one is our to the Max icon, patchwork, all over. What did I even call it? Like, it's just to the Max. And I'm gonna show you how I'm going to go about doing that. So here's my little sketch and I kind of get the gist of what I was doing here, but not really. So I'm not gonna use that as like I did in the previous section. I'm just going to try to remember that I did some checks, and we're going to start off with doing the background, like, patterns that I'm going to have. So I'm going to turn off that and I'm going to go in. And this one, I'm not going to sketch it out. I'm just going to go for it. So in the background, I'm going to do some blobs. Rather than squares, this time I'm going to do some blobs of color. So I'm gonna make sure that I am choosing this is the wrong brush. Okay. So I'm just gonna do some random blobs and fill those. Do one more random, like, blob. Okay. And then on top of these, I'm going to make another clipping mask, and I'm going to do patterns within these. So I'm going to move my, there we go move that down here, so it's not in the way really and make sure that I'm on that proper layer. And I think for this top one, I'm going to do a gangam cause that could be fun. So I'm just going to do some like stripes here. And I'm making it try to make it a little wonky so it looks hand drawn, which it is, but I'm I'm trying to make it look not super straight. Okay. And then to make that look like gingham, all you have to do is make where the lines cross, make that darker. So I'm going to Alpha lock that layer, and I'm going to choose my darker teal, and I'm just going to fill that in. Centers here. And again, I don't mind that it's a little wonky. That was a little bit too much, so I can go back like that and clean it up. So I'm just going to quickly do this. Okay, this is gonna take forever. So I'm going to think about what I'm gonna do for the next one and then you can watch the um, time lapse. So I liked what I had going on for one of the tablecloths in one of the first patterns that we did, and I did, like, okay, where am I? This is Alpha lock, so I have to unalphaock it, so I'm gonna re bring those circles. And one thing that I've talked about many times in my classes is that you shouldn't repeat motifs. Like, if I have drawn say, one of the clementines or the oranges that I did in the first piece, I can't just, like, copy, paste that into another pattern, but I can draw another orange and reuse that like I did. Does that make sense? I don't think so. It's really important that you're drawing new things in each pattern. So every single pattern, every illustration is unique. Even if you re use the same kinds of motifs, like I can show you as my examples. In my first ones, I used, like Monstera leaves and palm trees, and I did the same thing over here, but I didn't copy paste the exact same thing and move it in here. I redrew it. I made the leaves look a little bit different. I used different colors. I re did it. So it's not like the exact same thing, but it's very similar. So that's what I can I want you to know how important it is so that each pattern. Each artwork is unique. If you're re using the same items that you're using in an illustration and then bringing that into a pattern, then it's not unique. Then it's considered the same thing in an A and a B version, like a pattern version of that artwork or the illustration version of that artwork. It's not something unique. But if you draw something similar, but you like, change the angle of the orange or change the colors a little bit, then you can all of a sudden sell those as two separate pieces and make more money. So that just makes more sense to me. Okay, back to this. And I'm going to make that monochromatic, so I'm going to do Oh, yeah. And then this one, I should have made that a second layer. So if I wanted to recolor that, this is just not going very well, but anyway, it's alright. So I have my blue there, and I'm just going to make my little, like, flower shapes. Maybe these ones we can stay like, just outlines. Kind of sketchy. And then I can do another layer, and I just want, like, a little yellow dot. Okay, to fix this one, I'm going to go back in here and Ooh, that's not right. Alpha lock it and then do that. Okay. Then I'm gonna unalpaock it and then fix some of these sloppy things that I did there. And for that one, I'll go on another layer, and I'll use that darker version, and I will do my best to fill those in. And now I can more easily fill them like this, and that's going to be easier. Okay, so I can continue with this one. I don't know if I need, like, more of a pattern there. I can continue doing this while I'm thinking, what should the last one? Maybe the last one, I just want a simple stripe or something. These are just these are especially just going to be layered in the background, so you might just see just a small glimpse of them. They're not going to be the main focus of the pattern. I also didn't want them to be square because I wanted this kind of to stand out from the other pieces that are very square. The other patterns that we've created. All the other shapes there are quite square. So this is somewhere in between. And then all the items that we're gonna draw on top are gonna get more and more detailed. We can have patches as well to mimic the other pattern, maybe to give, like, a nod to that. This is a patrick collection, too. So that's something we could do. Okay, this gingham, my homemade kind of sloppy gingham is done, but again, it's in the background, and I kind of like that it looks sloppy like that. Okay, for the last one, I think I just want to do simple stripes with pink. I'll do pretty thick stripes, I think. If you make sure to fill the edges, then you can easily drag and drop. And if I like that, that's good. But maybe I think I want to do yellow instead. So I'll just do that. That looks bright and sunshiny. So those are my bottom layers so far. And, again, I have no idea how this pattern is gonna turn out. I haven't really planned it in a way. This is kind of a pattern that I feel like is very difficult to plan out because it's so random, and that's kind of why I really like it because it's just going to, like, come alive as it happens is not much planning. So that's my first group, and I think I'm going to group these, so it's gonna be easier to understand and I can turn them off. So those have been grouped those is like my first layer. So now I'm going to do another group. And maybe I like the idea of having that patchwork since we had from the other one. So I'm going to do one pink one, and I'll do another, like, bigger Turquois one. And then, again, we need to do another clipping mask, and what should we put in here? So it's like we need to figure out all the time what's gonna go in there. From the previous one, I really like my semicircles that I started working on, so maybe I'll do that. This time, they can go off the page and not connect. So again, like, I'm using the same kind of shape and idea, but then I'm doing something else. And then this Alpha lock, I'm going to do. Like that. No, that didn't work. No. I guess the threshold's too high, but I'll just color it in. That's fine. Okay. And then I think I want to do that bright orange 'cause it's I really like how that looks with the pink. I really like from the first pattern that we did a little scene, so I thought that could be interesting to do. So let's do another little beach scene here so I can maybe this whoops. Let's take off the alpha lock, and I will do here's some here I'll do like a horizon. And then I do another layer. Alpha lock clipping mask. I need to make a little island here. I'll make a little island in the middle of this little and on there, we need to make another layer. Let's see. We'll do the blue for the palm and another layer. We'll do the light blue. Doesn't show up, really. We'll do that light. This one? There we go. Well, that looked quite a lot more abstract, which I like. So that's fun. So we have those. Again, I remember it I forgot for the other ones to add my texture, so this we need to do now, too. So I'm going to do another clipping mask and choose, like, a dark charcoal, and then I'm going to move the adjustment layer to soft light and then go to Artist crayon and just add that in so everything so we keep that also as something that keeps all the collections together. Okay? So this is another grouping complete. I could do more stuff in here, too, since there's room, but no, I won't. I'm going to go into this other group, open that up and do my shadow clipping mask, soft light, and then do some shadow in here. Here, maybe I could do quite a lot, since it's going to be the bottom most layer. So maybe here I could do a little bit more than usual. Okay, I love how that just brings it to life, so it's not so flat. Okay, so those are both done. So now we can we have to go back to our studio pen, make a new layer, and then we have to figure out what we're drawing. Now, so now that we have some, like, shapes and things like that, I want to do some random shapes. I really like that in another pattern that I showed you that I just had, like, big blobs of shapes. So I did stripes before, and I thought that that was good. Um let's see what color. Really like this lime green, so I'm going to do a blobby stripe with some of these to use as filler. Maybe three would be good. Whoops, not the background. I can also do other shapes like maybe I could do a grouping of circles that are just gonna I don't know. Who knows how you can use these? Right now, they feel kind of random. But that's, like, the puzzle part of making patterns, which is really fun. I haven't used the purple in a while, so I'll make sure to do that. Maybe some more even chunkier, random Random shapes like this. Uh, I don't like how that turned out. Like that. What else could we do? We did have, like, the sun. Kind of shape or like the stars in the other pattern I did, like seven I don't know, random star shapes. So maybe one pink one and one in the turquoise, just for fun. That's quite funky, but it looks good on this side. So I'll keep that. So again, maybe here's some random shapes that we have that we can use. Again, I will create a clipping mask on that, and I will go in and add my texture soft light. I love this soft light because then I don't have to change the color when I'm shading, and if I change the background colors to here, I can show you, if I decide I want to make the background of this yellow, I don't have to go in and recolor the shading, too. It just automatically changes. I have a whole other class on Skillshare called what is it called? Shading and Light in Procreate that you can check out if you want to learn more about that. Okay, so that's my next little random group, so I'm going to group that and close that out. So now I have some random shapes and patterns and things. Now I want those, like, icons that we saw on those other patterns. Like, I want to have some citrus and I want the palms, and maybe that's it. So on this layer, I'm going to start drawing in my palm leaves. So maybe I'll do. And whoops, again, I have to switch my pen. Maybe I'll do the Monsteragin. Or maybe, maybe I won't because I've done that so many times. Again, it's difficult to know which color to use because you don't know what's going to be repeated or what's gonna or you don't know what's gonna be on top of what. So you just have to hope it's gonna work out. Um, let's see. Those are some fun shapes on top of that, the clipping mask, and then I'm going to do the vinees that you can have in leaves. So I'm gonna do that. With pink. And should the blue one have yellow? Maybe it doesn't need lines. Maybe I could do circles. Looks okay. For this one, it might be interesting to duplicate this so that we have different color versions. So again, if you want to remember how to do that, so I'm going to group this into a new group, and once it's in a group, I can duplicate that. I'm just going to close out one of them. And then now I can go in and make that a different color. Maybe this palm leaf can be yellow. And then here on the top, I'm going to alpha lock this, so I don't have to do those. Let's see. I'll make those orange instead. So then I can just paint over them instead to change the color. I didn't do the shadowing, but that's kind of nice so that I can do the shadow. Without duplicating. So then, again, it will look slightly different just because I'm gonna do the shadows. Soft light on top there. So then add the shadow. And also, remember, we can flip this so that we can have that. We can flip all this in Photoshop, too, but it's just kind of fun to have it done here. Now, I have to have it on the group. Sorry. Group, and then flip Whoops. Flip. So then we have that. And then I'm going to go back in here and I'm going to add the shadows here. See, this is what it looks like with the black. It looks crazy. But then when you move it from normal to soft light, then it just softens and it chooses a darker version of the color that you have underneath. So there's that, so we have more of those, so we can kind of open also each of the different things that we have going on. To tell what's going on here. Um, we're definitely going to be sizing things down. I want some things like the citrus fruits and a flour, I think we're gonna end with, and I think that that could be good. So I'm gonna close out all of these so it don't distract us. And we're gonna make some citrus fruits, so I'll make, like, a lemon. We haven't done lemons. Whoops. Like studio pen, so I'll do, like, a lemon shape. Usually, like, something like that. And then I'll do this Clementine. But should I do, like, a little group of clementines this time? Because in the previous patterns, I've done a single one for both of them. I think I'll do, like, a grouping this time. So I want to move this. Procreate, you can move stuff around, but don't resize anything 'cause it does not. The quality gets worse and it doesn't look. Here we go. So I have a little grouping there in that one. Now I'm going to do another I doesn't need to be a clipping mask now. I will do for the oranges down here, I'll do the Teo color. And then for the lemon, I can do the regular green. I don't know. Should the stem be from the edge there? Just seems weird. Okay, and then another layer on top of that. So I'm gonna do the leaves here and make them kind of good shape. I hope. That looks nice. And then for these ones down here, I can also I'll make one I like when I cross over a little bit. And when a little bit smaller. Like this. Whoops. Okay. And then I need to do some details within there, so it doesn't really matter which I'll take this one. I will take the orange to make some circles to give like that the lemon rind texture, and then they'll use the yellow on these ones. So it gives the look of some kind of citrus fruit. I want to go and give these vines, veins. Veins, sorry. Clipping mask to those. Before I do that, wait a second. With these 'cause they're not on, like, a ground, it's gonna be difficult to Oh, never mind. It'll be fine. I was thinking that I'm gonna have to put shadows on everything, but I can just skip the little ones. They don't need to be shadows. Alright, again, getting back to this. I want to put some vine veins into the leaves. So let's see what color would look good. Maybe the yellow in these ones. Maybe a simple line like that. And up here should we do the pink. Okay, I like that. All right. Now what I was starting to talk about here I am 'cause they're not I'm going to have to do the shading on several of the layers. So clipping mask, change it to soft light, move to the charcoal black, and then the artist crayon, so I can go in and give these leaves some shadow and then the pink one, clipping mask, soft light. Okay. And then the last one with the lemon and the orange, clipping mask, soft light, and then I'm going to do. This is nice that they're on different layers, then I can do the shadows behind that. That looks good. Okay. So that is all of the little icons I was thinking about. Maybe I'll just do one more. I'll do a flower, too, and I can continue on with these layers. So I'll just studio pen, and I think I'm going to use this light yellow, and we can't really see it so well here on the screen, but it should be fine. I'm going to do a big one, and I'll do a smaller one. Maybe I'll do two smaller, so I have different choices. Okay. And then inside of those, I will do some just colors, I guess. Some dots. Yellow? Do I like the I like the yellow. It's so happy. So I think I'll do that simple interior of that flower. Okay. And then I'm going to just put some shadow here. So I have that shadow layer. I just go in and grab a charcoal and then go in and give a little variation. On these light colors, you can't really see that much, but I think that's just going to give, like, some brightness to this pattern that's so full on. Again, we can I'm going to group group these So then, yeah, we can get a little idea for this pattern and the craziness that it's gonna happen. But so far, that looks pretty fun to me, and we're gonna have a lot of fun. In the next section, we're gonna be bringing all of these into Photoshop, and I'm gonna show you how you finish all of these three patchwork patterns. So this is really fun that I've been able to share my process with you of how to create these, and I hope that you will enjoy learning how to put them all together, too. 9. Final Repeats in Photoshop Part 1: Alright, so now we have all of our motifs drawn in procreate. It's time to export them as layered PSD files into Photoshop so that we can get them all repeatable and see how everything turned out. This is, like, the really fun bit when you get to see how everything turned out. See you in Photoshop. Alright, friends, welcome to Photoshop. So instead of going in order like we drew them, I'm going to actually go from easiest to most difficult. So here we have the icon pattern first, and we'll work on that one because let me show you how easy it is to turn this into a pattern. So you just go to View and press pattern preview, and now we have a pattern. And we can zoom out to see how it repeats kind of fun and wonky, and it's I really like it. And so that's it. So then you're just going to do edit, define pattern. You can name it if you want to. And then you turn off the pattern preview. This is our swatch. I'm going to create a new file new. I'll just do a regular A four. Size. I'm actually actually maybe I want it to the side or not, whatever I can't decide. Okay, I'm going to do some shapes here. So here will be my main print. And then I'm going to do some smaller ones down here. This could be like a se sheet if you wanted to put this together, so we'll do for this one, which one are we? This one. I'm going to go down here to the whatever that one's called and press pattern. And I'm going to go down to my latest pattern. I need to change the scale quite a lot so maybe down to I'm guessing, 34, we'll try that. We need to do a clipping mask. So here, in between these two layers, I'm going you see this finger that's pointing. If you press option, it becomes like the clipping mask symbol and you can put it there, and then you can just move the pattern around until you see a section of it that you like the most. So something like that, that could be fun. Maybe I want to show that it repeats. Okay, so there's our first pattern done. That was very easy. You, of course, want to save all this. Now we are moving on to our traditional traditional patchwork pattern, and this one's going to be a little bit more fiddly. So we have some preparations to do first, of course. I didn't show you that in the first one, but in here, we have to go in and clean up the file. Like, you should throw away your sketches and the color swatch and anything that you're not using, Ren name this and everything. Okay. So in here, again, we're going to throw away the swatch and the sketches. What is it? Those are my little stitch marks, if I want those. And then I have my two groups, and then this was the sketch, I think, so I'll get rid of that. Now I want to I'm going to du Whoops. I'm going to duplicate both of these groups. I'm gonna copy them by pulling them to this plus sign. So it makes a copy of those. So I'm going to have these as, like, originals that if I need to go back and change anything that I can, so I have those, but I'm just going to close those out because we don't need those now. And now I'm going to work on one of these at a time. So I will turn off the first one, and I'll just work on this first group. And I am going to flatten all of these images so that they're way easier to work with and smaller. And that's just how I like to work. I know I know that there's something called Smart Object, and I still haven't figured that out, or I haven't taken the time to make that a priority, so this is what I do. Um, I'm also gonna turn off these tick little stitch marks, 'cause I'm still not sure if I'm gonna use those. So I'm going to make those all a I combine them together, which Command E. Or you can go to, let's see. Here, merge visible. Go to their merge visible by doing Command Shift E or merge layers, Command E. So that's what I did to do those, and now I'm going to make them into separate little icons. So I'm going to use the Lasso tool, which is L, and I'm going to go around every single one of these painstakingly and make them their own little layers. So once I have it highlighted with the Lasso, I press Command J to put that on a new layer. And then I go back to this, and I just keep doing this. So I will get back to you when I've done this for both of our layers. Alright, so now I have all of my different icons or patches in on each their own layer. So it's going to be really easy for me to move them around and make this pattern look good. Right now, they're quite big. So I'm going to highlight all of these and make them a little bit smaller so I can fit them on my page. You could also create a bigger canvas if you want the pattern to be bigger. But I think I'm just going to reduce the size of all of these, so Command T to transform all of them once they're highlighted, and I'm just going to reduce the size a little bit here. Just doing everything with my intuition. Okay, so now I'm just going to open up that view pattern preview. Before I do that, I'm going to make sure to save this because I don't want to I'll just call it icon. Patrick. Okay. So that's saved just so all that work. So now, it's just a matter of just moving all of these little pieces around, and then you can also figure out, like, if you want them behind or forward. And that's just a matter of moving the layer in front of something else until it looks good to you. And you can take as long or as little time. Make sure to place the ones that are similar, not right next to each other. Something that's bold like this, d one. I feel like that one. It's gonna repeat a lot, so we need to find good spaces for everything. But the whole point of this pattern, like here, that one is too close, I feel. So that one I want to put over here, maybe. The point of this pattern is to be a lot and that it's repeating kind of randomly, and that's why it's fun. Just keep moving things around. I don't know how I feel about the white space. Like, do I want this one to have a little white space in there, or do I want everything covered up? So that's something that I need to think about and figure out. So here's another palm tree, so I don't want them completely next to each other. So over there. What else? This one, nice little pop of that red color. Okay. Zoom out a little bit. Like, this is a crazy pattern. And then you can duplicate stuff. You can press the icon and press option at the same time and pull that and make a duplicate. If you want to flip it, you can command T, so you get transform. Right click, and then you can flip horizontally, so then you have a different look there. Just keep moving stuff around. I really like this. I want In Photoshop because it's a lot better software. You can increase the size of your pizzas somewhat, like, not double, but a little bit, and it's not gonna the quality is gonna stay nice. Not like in procreate the quality. It doesn't look it doesn't hold or doesn't look good. I don't know. I can't speak English. What could we put here? And then remember you can also flip things to the side and repeat. Let's see. I repeat that one here. Maybe I will flip it, so it's this way instead. And I want those poka dots again over here, maybe. I need something for this space. Maybe this one. Hmm. This one I want in the back because I don't want it to be covering up all of that, so I'm gonna pull that down, see. Like that. Mm, maybe I can duplicate that over here just to get rid of that section. And now we just have this little awkward section. So what are we gonna put there? Maybe we'll put the palm trees again. Could we do that? Some more palms. I'll increase Whoops. Sometimes they get weird in this tool. So it's just something to keep in mind. When you're resizing things, they have to be in this square or this rectangle, the swatch rectangle. Otherwise, they go wonky. Maybe I want to do this stripe, but on the side. I'll make it a little bit bigger so we can cover up that last little piece. And that one I also want to bring all the way to the back. Oh. Is it in the back now? Yeah. Okay, now we just have these two little spots that we need to figure out. I kind of want more of this red, so I'm gonna do the poka dot over here. And then we have a tiny little section there. And again, what can we do for that? We can do a little section of stripes. And for this one, we can do those waves again, I guess. There we go. See? That wasn't that hard. It looks really complicated, but it just didn't take us very long at all. It looks wild and interesting and fun, and people are gonna be like, How did you make that? But it was fun and simple. So that's our other patchwork. I'm gonna see now what I think about the little stitch marks. So I have those here. So what does that look like if I put those in? Is this just, like, whoops. Do I like it? I can't tell. I think it's just gonna get messy if I put the stitches in there, too. Like there's I could put some there or does that look good? It does kind of look good. But I just let's see. I really just like the white ones, actually. The colored ones get definitely melted in. So I'm going to just where am I? I need to work on them inside the frame. Where is it? Where's Must watch? It's up there. Okay, here's where I have to work with them. Okay, so I'm gonna last those and then command J to make those a thing. Turn those other ones off. So here I have my little stitch marks now, and then I can option and pull those up here. And then I can flip them. Command T, OSN, right click. That horizontal. Here, this rotate clockwise. There we go. So then I have that, and I think I'll put those here. So I have some Patricks on that one, and then I'm going to zoom out and see where we want some of these little stitch marks somewhere else. Option, maybe here or the on this one. And then we want some vertical ones somewhere, so let's pull them somewhere. Like over here. Maybe somewhere here to fill this gap that we have. And there's too many on that layer, so I can just go in with the eraser tool and just erase those, the extra ones. Let's see. Maybe some here 'cause this little sections slightly awkward. Or I could try just moving this one down. There we go. Less awkward. Okay, maybe some stitches here. We're over here. This is the part we're like, Oh, am I gonna overdo it? Maybe. Maybe it's okay. It's kind of another fun little detail that they're all stitched together. I think I'll do one more. I think over here. Over here? They there. Okay, so I like that. It was a fun little detail to add something. You could do this a lot more structured. Remember, when we were looking at the different inspiration from Pintres, there were certain artists that had created patterns like this that were a lot more structured with, like, a grid. So it's something that you could think about, too. But I really like how this turned out how fun. And it's wild and crazy. Okay, so again, I'm going to once this is done, go to edit Define Pattern. Preso. I'm going to save it. So it's saved, and then I'm going to go out of this pattern preview. So here we have my swatch. This is the final swatch. That looks so fun. Okay, and then I'm going to go into this file over here, and I'll do this one. I will do this pattern on top. And again, we have to go to my latest pattern here. And what did I do last time? Like 30 something? 34. Maybe this one could be bigger. That one's quite small. Like 40 something. Let's see, pull it. Ah, 56. We'll try that. And here, in between, remember, you do option, click. So that gives a nice, like, Paris in there. That looks so cute. You can tell. Like, remember when I was talking about repeating motifs, and here's the Clementine like this, and then we have it repeated over here, but it's drawn in a different way. So it's not the exact same thing, but it's like an ode to the same kind of thing. That makes sense, right? 10. Final Repeats in Photoshop Part 2: Okay, so then we have the final pattern. And this is our wild and crazy pattern. Everything goes. So the same thing I'm going to do here is I need to clean everything up. So I'm going to get rid of this swatch. I'm going to Get rid of this sketch. I'm going to create copies of all of those, and I'm going to since there's so many, I'm going to group them into and call them original motifs in layers. So and then with these other ones, I can just go Command E and flatten them. So they're really quick and easy to work with. I do this because it's quick and easy. And if ever somebody needs me to redo something, it's just, like, that's a timesaver tween's most of the time people don't need changes, but if they do, like, I would rather spend my time going back and maybe it takes longer to change things rather than spending 1 million years creating patterns. Okay, so now I have to go, um, create all the different or which way should I go? I'll start from the bottom. And turn that off, okay? So for these, I'm going to lasso these again, so I will get back to you when these are all lassoed. Alright, friends, now I've gotten everything into their own individual little layers so I can move everything around, and we're going to see how this all goes. With this pattern, I am just I'm gonna kind of, like, work from the bottom up and see how that goes. So I'm going to turn all of my little icons off. With a little eyeball there and go to view, pattern preview, and then I'm going to start at the bottom. So I'm going to turn on my little gingham and these ones, and they right now are not overlapping or anything. So maybe I'll just try to overlap them a little bit so that something interesting is happening. And then I'll turn on another swatch and try to get that to fit in here somewhere. And this one maybe is okay if I have some white space. We can always change the background color, too, to something else. Okay, so we have that. And then we don't have to use everything, and we also don't have to um, Why don't you have to? Yeah, we don't have to feel like we have to use everything. I'm just gonna as I open things up, I'm just gonna add them in. I kind of liked it there. These ones are pretty intense. Maybe I'm gonna move those to the background, but to fill up that space there. Like that, maybe? Okay. This blue palm is also really intensely large, so maybe it would look better. Whoops I'm on the wrong layer. If I make it smaller, I might also just not use it, but for right now, I'll place it here. And then this one, again, I think it's just too big. On the wrong layer again. And then you can always twist them. As long as you're working inside of the swatch, then it's gonna be okay. Okay, now we're gonna turn on this one. Maybe I don't want that one, so I'll leave that one off right now. Same with this one. I don't really know if I want that one. Definitely want my lemon somewhere, so let's find a really important spot for that one. I feel bad that that is getting covered up. Something like that. Maybe. And then I want my oranges. They can go front and center here. And then I can move this red star somewhere else. And then we have my flowers. So here's the big one. Maybe that one could be here. And then a smaller one. Put that, like there, and then another one. Where could that go? Something like that. I feel like it's getting lost here, so maybe I want something going on here underneath so that that will so I can test out the purple. No, a little bit. And you can always zoom out to get an idea what things are looking like. I'm kind of really not liking this blue. It's really intense. But if I had two of them, maybe it would make more sense. So I'm kind of liking it better when it's there, 'cause I like how the flour pops more. There's more contrast there, so then let's see what we can do. If we bring back the other palm and place it over here, not have to be on the right layer. Place it. Maybe I also flip it vertically and horizontally. Yeah, I like that. Do more like this. Does that look okay? I like that patchwork, so I'm gonna pull that forward the pink and red one. Where are you? This? No. Hmm. This one? Yeah, so what if I move that on top a little bit more? Yeah. And I'm kind of feeling like these flowers feel so out of place. I really don't like how that's looking. Maybe that's what's distracting, so I'm gonna go down here and turn that off and see what we can do instead. Did we have something else that we didn't use that we can try? We did the yellow leaf. We could put that down in the background or at least a little bit further underneath some stuff? Okay. Move that a little bit. Here's just a matter. We just got to wiggle things around until it looks good or good enough. I like that there, so we get the contrast. Hmm. A. And I like that you see the lemon if you're really looking for it. This is just so blue. I think I need to repeat it once more for it to make sense somewhere. We'll flip it vertically there, and then yeah, hide it, kind of. But I just need to have it somewhere like that. That's interesting. I don't like the stem, so I think I'll just erase it. I need to go zoom in, see what I'm doing. There we go. That makes more sense. Let's see if I can get those. In there. Okay, so then there's more blue. What else can we repeat so it makes more sense? Or is this good? It's again, like, really wild. When we zoom out like this, we can see that this palm is kind of repeating awkwardly. So maybe we should rethink that one. It looks like a pickle. It looks better when we take it away. So what can we put there instead? Or if we can just move stuff around so it looks we can just move these instead. Move this flour down into contrast. Then we just need something there. Maybe the purple, I could repeat and just flip it. Where are you purple? Yeah, just another stripe like that. Look. It looks pretty good. Um, when we could do one more flower there? Hmm. Or this the pink like the pink star. But I can flip it horizontally. There we go. This blue palm is still repeating very noticeably with these the oranges or whatever. So that's kind of irritating to me, but I still find this pattern interesting and it's different and challenging, but it is a lot. Like, there's a lot going on. So I'm going to test out making the background that dark teal to see what happens there. Also, to make, like, gaps into that dark teal. So you just have to find it here, like that color. And then I'm going to go down to the background cancel background and G. That makes it a lot more put together, I feel. I still, like, this palm is annoying me. But it's maybe not that bad now. This leaf kind of looks like a banana. If I put something else on top of it, maybe it would be better. Like if I do this red star again here, put that on top. What am I doing now? I need to flip that That kind of bounces around nicely. I don't know. I'm gonna say that this is done. The whole point of this pattern is it's supposed to be crazy and wild and all over the place, but I like that you can distinguish some different parts like that you see some flowers and then lemon if you keep looking, and then you see some here's a palm tree on an island in the background. So I think I'm going to go with this. Once you start looking at a pattern for too long, I think you start going like, cross eyed almost. So I think we're gonna go with this, and this would look really neat on, like, a pattern shirt or a dress or skirt or something like that. So again, I'm going to edit define pattern. Okay. And I'm gonna I never saved this one, so save as, I'll call it Maxi pattern. And then I'm going to turn off the pattern preview to look at my swatch, and there it is. Los all nice and clean. And then let's see. I'll go into this final sheet here so we can take a look at the final little collection of three. And I'm going to add a pattern to that one. Here we go. The last pattern. And then we need to reduce this one. We'll try 56, maybe. There. And then I'll just move this so you can see, yeah, the flowers and this. So that's pretty cool. Maybe it's a little too small. Let me double click over here, and then I will reduce it a little bit down 34445. That'll be good. So then you can see that it repeats. Just a matter of finding the section that you like the best. Maybe this one I should have repeated more items, but I think it's fun. Alright. That is definitely good enough. I always like to stop when I think things are good enough because you can never achieve perfection it doesn't exist, and just always gonna learn something when you move on to the next pattern, and I learned a lot from creating these. So when I create another kind of pattern like this in the future, it will get better and better. So I just work on that just knowing that for right now, this is perfect, and maybe it's going to appeal to somebody. I'm sure it will be because it's really fun. I cannot wait to see what you come up with with your collections. And I hope that you have a lot of fun while making them, too, because that's just as important. So yeah, these were the three different types of patterns. We did the traditional Patrick pattern. I even added some stitching. And then we did an icon pattern that give us a little bit of more air to breathe. Otherwise, these are very full on patterns. And then the final, I would call this the hero pattern of this kind of little collection is that full on pattern with tons of bold colors, lots of bold shapes and icons on top of patterns, and it's just to the max. Maximalism. Me is Me, that kind of pattern. And it's really fun. And again, you don't know what's up and down. How did you create this pattern? It's just wild, but it's all over the place, and it's really fun. So yeah, please be brave and post your collections or just one if you manage one into the project gallery. Can't wait to see them. 11. Next Steps: All right. Now that we have learned all about Patrick patterns and created something new together, I hope that you feel really confident in creating these types of patterns and you're going to really enjoy adding them to your portfolio for your surface design work. I always love to give you some next step so you feel like you know what to do next. And first step, I would love for you to think about how you can take what you've learned in this class and apply a new theme to a three set of Patrick patterns or how you can add new Patrick patterns into current collections that you're working on or collections that you've made previously that maybe need to be given something new and fresh. You could change out the color palette, add a fun Patrick pattern, and then, like, pitch it as something new in fresh. When jumping into collection making, it's really fun to think about what kinds of different patterns you can mix and match with illustration so that you have a really versatile and interesting collection. Again, I have several classes here on Skillshare about creating many collections for art licensing, and I can link those in the class description for you. Or just check out my bio where everything's linked in different sections. 12. Where Else Can You Hang Out with Me: Okay, that's it. Thanks so much for taking this class with me. I really can't wait to see what you come up with with your three different types of patchwork patterns. I hope that you can be brave and post them to the project gallery because I love to see them. If you would like any feedback, just let me know. Otherwise, I'll just give you some encouragement and like your work and say, like, go you. Which we all need. That's always so fun. But otherwise, if you'd like to hang out with me outside of Skillshare, please find me on my website at Christina hotkrauns.com. I'm on Instagram at Christina Hood kuns. And if you really want to hang out with me monthly, I have a patroon group for surface designers called Collection Club, and we work on collections every single month. Together on a specific popular theme, and there's feedback sessions. So you get personal feedback. It's a group of really supportive other fellow surface designers, and it's really nice to have a community where other surface designers can comment and love your work and chat together. And I also share as much as I know about the industry as I can so that you feel confident jumping into this amazing world of pattern making and illustration for all kinds of different products like greeting cards and eye patches and rugs and dress fabric, et cetera. So, yeah, I hope that you'll check that out. There's a free version, too for you to check out. Alright, that's enough self promo. I'll see you in my next Skillshare class. Make sure you're to follow me here so you get notified of that until then. Fine. Whoops, sorry.
