1. Intro: Hey, I'm Maja Faber. In this class, you will
learn how to create.
2. Class Project: Your project in this class is to create the background
texture in Procreate. I would love to see
what you create. So please do share your
project here in class as an exported JPEG that shows
your background texture. You can add it to
your artwork or just show your texture on a
solid colored background. To learn how to
export your image, to share it here in class, watch the lesson called
export your project.
3. Downloads: I've included two free
premium Procreate brushes that you can download
when you watch this class. They are from me and
my husband's brand, Faber Co. and are
free for you to use for both personal
and commercial use. The Procreate
brushes included are Crunchy and Grain Stamp 2. Crunchy is included in
our new Texture Brush set and Green Stamp 2 is included
in our Grain Brush set. If you enjoy using
these brushes, you can buy the full
brush sets and more on my website,
majafaber.com/shop. I've also included free
textures as JPEG images. You'll get one free
grunge texture, which is included in our Faber
Co. Grunge Textures pack, and one royalty-free
photo taken by me. I will show you how to use
these resources in class to add some awesome texture
effects to your artwork. All other resources that
you download in class are free for you to use for both
personal and commercial use. To download the freebies, tap the downloadable PDF under "Projects & Resources"
tab here in class, or go to the URL that
you see on screen now. You will be directed
to a site where you need to type in your
name and email address, which will add you
to my email list. Tap "Unlock" and
that will take you to a Dropbox folder where
you can download the files. To download the brushes
directly to Procreate, tap the brush set and
tap "Download" so that they will be added to your
downloads in your browser. I'm using Safari
here on my iPad. Then tap the brush set file in the "Downloads"
section and it will be instantly added to your brush library in Procreate. To download the pre-made
texture and the photo, tap the files and
"Download" and then you can find them in the "Downloads"
folder on your iPad.
4. Use a Textured Brush: Let's get started
creating textures. The easiest way of adding
texture to the background of your patterns and illustrations are definitely to use
a textured brush. We will start with adding a
texture with this method. In this class, I will use
my own artwork as example. When adding background textures, you can use your own artwork or just a solid color background to add your background
textures too. I have one pattern with oranges
that I will show you how to create texture
in the background now and one illustration
with a cactus. If you are creating textures that you want to
save as templates, for example, I would
suggest that you create the Canvas size
that you normally use. For me, for patterns
that's usually 3,600 pixels square or
7,200 pixels square. If you want to create textures
to save as files here in Procreate so that you can add these textures to
future artwork, then create a Canvas size
that you normally use. For me, I will use my
artwork as examples. Let's head into the cactus
illustration first. In this file I have added
my illustration in a group so I know where I have all of the objects in the illustration. I have a background color here, but I actually prefer to add a background
books when I'm using textures that will bring me
more control of my layers. You can do as you prefer, either add a background
color or add a layer with a background box with
a color like me here. If you aren't using any pre-made illustration or artwork or pattern
that you have created, you can use a solid
color background to practice on adding
textures in this class. In that case, your
Canvas will look like this with background
layer with a color. The first thing that
we will do is to add a new layer in which we will add the background texture and then it's time to choose our brush. There are several
texture brushes that are great to use as
background textures. In this class I've included
two texture brushes, the green stamp number 2 and crunchy from us at
favorite company. You can use brushes that are already included in
Procreate or for example, other Procreate brushes
that you have purchased. There are several
texture brushes that are great to use as
background textures. The easiest way to figure
out if a brush works good as the background texture
is to just try it out. If you have another
brush in mind, you can try that one out. I will show you how to use the grain stamp too and
the crunchy from us, a favorite company in this class to create
background textures. I have one layer for
the background box, and now I have a new layer
where I will add the texture. Make sure that you
are on the new layer. What I will do is to
start with green Stamp 2. What I do with a color is
to go usually slightly darker or slightly lighter than the background
color that I have. This is to get a subtle effect with the background texture. You could go a little
bit towards black, which will give you a more, thus the color or more towards the bright
part of the spectrum, which will give you a more
bright and saturated color. Let's do that again.
Select background color by tap and hold, and you have the
background color here. Then we will try to go a
little bit to the right here. We have got ourselves
a brighter pink color. With the green stamp Number 2, I will zoom out a bit. I will use the maximum size and just tap a few times to
add a background texture. Already, this looks
pretty cool to me. You can add a lot of
texture like this or as I usually do just a
little bit to keep it subtle. This is actually all
there is to it to use a brush and add as
a background texture. Let's try out to turn
on my illustration. I think that looks pretty cool. Let's try out once again. But this time we will add with a little bit
brighter color. I will just go slightly to the left to get a
little bit brighter. I added a new layer so
that I'm not on old layer. Here I will add a few
stamps with my brush. One thing that you can
try out here is to use different blend modes when you have drawn with your brush. Tap the layer, tap
the little n symbol. We can try to drag
down the opacity, which will bring us even
more subtle texture. We can try out different
blend modes depending on which color you
have drawn with, you will get a
different effect when you try out different
blend modes. I'm using multiply here
and I have drag down the opacity to about 50 percent and that looks pretty cool. That is how it will look with the green stamp Number
2 with these settings. Let's try out another brush and I will go for
the crunchy brush. The maximum size to
see how that looks. That's a lot of
texture over there. Let's choose little bit
lighter pink color. On the new layer, I will just slightly
add little bit texture. I'm not even sure that this
is visible in the video, but I think if I zoom in, I'm guessing that you can see a little bit of
texture over here. That's a really nice
subtle texture. We can try out
different blend modes, screen, for example, that will make you see the
background texture a lot more. Let's just keep it at
something like that. Then try out to add
a new layer and with a color I will go a
little bit more towards black. Then make sure that you're on a new layer with the crunchy. I add a little bit of texture. That looks really good. You could also, for example, add two layers with colors. This one with the white and
the second one with the pink, and that will give you a
much more textured look. It looks pretty good to me on this illustration that
is texturized as it is. That is how you use a texture brush as a background
in your illustrations. You can do this with any type of brush and try things out. Use the blend modes. Try out different colors and see when you find the
look that you're after. This is a great method
for illustrations where you don't need the background
texture to be repeated. You choose a texture brush. Play around with the blend
modes and the colors, and you add texture by
drawing with the brush. If you are creating a
seamless pattern, however, you need to make sure that the background texture
is repeated as well. Join me in the next lesson and I will teach you
just how to do that.
5. Full Drop Repeat of Brush Texture: Let's add a background
texture to repeat patterns. As I mentioned, I will use pre-made repeat patterns
that I already created. But in this class, you can use your own patterns or
you can just create the background box with
the texture on top of it that you can use
for future patterns. Before we start, I want to mention that if you don't follow along with the process of
creating repeat patterns here, I highly recommend
that you watch my other Skillshare
classes that goes through the different
methods of creating repeat patterns in
Procreate more thoroughly. Such as, for example, create an editable pattern in Procreate with color variations, three ways to create a half
drop pattern in Procreate, and how to create stripes or
lines patterns in Procreate. If you feel that this
process of creating the repeat of the texture
goes to quickly here, you can check out
my other classes. The method that we use in this class is the
absolute, basic, and simplest way of
creating a repeat pattern, because we only have one layer with texture that
we want to repeat. In my other classes I go through more in
detail how to create all sorts of repeat
patterns with many different layers
and colors and textures. Let's try out our two
different brushes on two different patterns. First, let's go with this
full drop pattern here, Boho flower field, and let's have a
look at our pattern. I have all of the motifs and the background in
one group over here. I think that I will just
drag out the background of the group and put the group on top of
the background layer. That way I easily have
both the background layer and my texture layer separate
from the motifs group. It will be a little bit easier for you to
see what I am doing. Let's start with using
this full drop pattern. I will select the
background layer here, the color, the master color. For this one, I will
use the crunchy. Let's try to go a little bit darker and add crunchy
acetates to here. It might be hard to
see the video for you, but I will zoom in
just a little bit. Here we have some texture
in the background, and that looks good. It's subtle, but it brings
this really nice effect. I will add quite a lot of
the crunchy brush like that. Then let's create a
repeat of this texture. I know that this pattern
is a full drop pattern, which means that is
repeated to the top, bottom, left, and
right, straight ahead. It's not a half-drop pattern. As I mentioned before, if this is confusing to you, watch my other classes
on Skillshare where I go through this
more thoroughly. With the texture layer selected, I can just turn off the
visibility of the motif layer. What I will do is to swipe
to the right to duplicate the texture layer four times or three times so
that I have four layers. Then I will turn on my drawing guide and turn up
the grid size to maximum, so that I have my
cross in the middle of my canvas with four
equally sized squares. With a texture layer selected, I grab it with the
Transform tool, make sure I have magnetics
and snapping turned on, and then I tap and
drag my texture to the point where it snaps with the yellow lines at the grid. This might be really
hard because I have a mastered color
background and texture. But when you see that the
yellow lines are aligned, you let go of your texture layer and
tap the Transform tool. Then tap the next texture layer, drag it down and
make sure that you have your yellow
guidelines aligned. If you're not sure and
if feels confusing, you can zoom in and see
that those dashed lines are perfectly aligned
with your cross in the middle of your canvas. Just like that.
Then the next layer drag it up to the top right. The last layer, drag
it up to the top left. Zoom in, if you're not sure that you have placed
it exactly right, and then tap the Transform
tool to place your texture. Turn off the drawing
guide so that you can see how your
texture is repeated. If I zoom in here, you can see that you have a line here where the
pattern tile is repeated. That means that your
texture will be visible where it's repeated
in the background. What I do is to make sure
that that line isn't visible. You can do this in a
few different ways. One is to use the Clone tool. I can use the crunchy
brush under adjustments, the clone tool, drag up to somewhere here on your canvas. You can just draw in on the line so that you get a little bit more
of the brush there. But as we are using a brush, I think that the
easiest way is to with the crunchy brush selected, just go in and add some more
brush strokes over here. If you feel that you
got too thick texture, you can tap and hold with the eraser tool to
make sure that you use the same brush as you
draw with the crunchy, and the same size, 100 percent and
then you can erase. But I actually saw that
I made a mistake here. I need to swipe these layers
together to merge them, to be able to draw
on all of them. Swipe all of those
texts layers together. Then we will try again
with the erase tool. I can go in on
these sharp lines. Let's do one section at a time. I erase a little bit
and then I can use the crunch brush again to
draw in a little bit more. This is the detailed work that you need to do when you
repeat the texture. I am doing it quickly
for this class, but you can really spend
some time here to make sure that your texture
is seamlessly repeated, and that you don't have big
chunks of brushstrokes in the middle where your
pattern tile is repeated. For me, that looks good enough for the purpose
of this class. Let's try that out with our pattern that
already is repeated. Turn on the visibility of your motif layer if you
have a pre-made pattern, and we can zoom in
to have a look at how our texture looks. Now we need to try
out this patterns. I will swipe down
with three fingers, copy all, swipe down with three fingers again, and paste. That will bring me
a flattened image, which I will drag to the
top of my layers panel. I will turn off the visibility
of the other layers. I will with the Transform tool, decrease the size of this
pattern to half of its size. I will duplicate it, place it next to each other to repeat it, to see how it looks repeated. As I mentioned before, if you think that
this part is going to quickly watch my other
classes here on Skillshare, where I go through
all of the parts of creating patterns in
Procreate more thoroughly. This is how the pattern
looks repeated. If we zoom in, we can
see that there aren't no visible lines in that
textured background. That looks really good.
6. Half Drop Repeat of Brush Texture: Next, we will create
the background texture in this half-drop pattern. As I mentioned before, if you don't know how to
make half-drop patterns, watch my class, 3 Ways to Create the
Half-Drop Pattern in Procreate to learn
how to do this. I will just move through
it quickly here with how to create this type of pattern
with the texture layer. In the layers panel, I will just like previously, add a new layer that we
will draw the background on and here I will use white color and let's use the grain stamp two for
this background texture, and then I will start to add some stamps with the
grant stamp Number 2. Maybe a lot, maybe a little, it all depends on the
look that you want, so let's add a lot
of texts here in the background and
then it's time to make a repeat of the text layers. I will turn off the
visibility of my motifs layer so that I know what
I'm doing with the texture layer and here I will make a
half drop repeat, so I will create a copy of
that layer and I will keep this one as the original
one and then I will tap and drag to snap
my texture layer to the left and then I will
duplicate my original layer. Swipe to the right
and up to snap it to the top right corner
as a quarter and then duplicate the original
layer again and snap that one to the
bottom right square. If this is moving way
too quickly for you, then watch my class, 3 Ways to Create a Half-Drop
Pattern in Procreate. Here I will just
show you how to make a seamless pattern on the
texture and if you think that how I move the layers to create
this half-drop is too complicated then watch
that class because that is where I explained
that thoroughly. With these three
layers selected, I will swipe them
together to merge them, and then I will zoom
in to see if I have any visible sharp
edges like this one, and here actually, I will just go in
and delete that one, so with a brush, let's choose that thick
and texture and eraser, I will just erase that
little texture dot, so zoom in in the middle and
see if you have some relief.
7. Use and Image with Texture: Another way of adding texture to your background
is to use an image. You can use a photo with
a texture, for example, this wood texture, or you can use a
finished texture like this grunge texture from
us at Faber company. You can download both of these resources for
free here in class. Let me show you how to
use images as textures. The process is the same with both the photo of the wood texture and
the finished texture. But the result will look
a little bit different. But let's start with the
pre-made texture image. For this, I will duplicate
my illustration. We'll head into my illustration and delete the layers
with textures. Let's add the pre-made texture. Tap Add, Insert a file and localize your
files on your iPad. If you have downloaded them in class and
haven't moved them, you will probably find them in the downloads folder
on your iPad. I have mine in a
Skillshare folder here. Let's tap the grunge
texture and place that one. The first thing that I will
do is just to re-size this. Now, I know that the
original image is large enough so that the
resolution will be fine when I resize it. Many times I also feel that when adding
texture in the background, you can mess around a little
bit with resolution but just make sure that you zoom in and see that
everything looks good. I have increased the
size so that it fits and I can move my texture around to whatever place I wanted and then I tap the transform
tool to place it. When we have this
pre-made texture what I normally do is just to play
around with the blend mode. The different blend modes will look a little bit different. If you go for these darker ones, you will get a black texture. Color burn will give you a more saturated
version of the color, which can look really good. For these textures, from us at Faber company, I usually go with overlay
as blending mode or screen. Let's try out screen and then I will adjust the opacity a bit. Here we have a
really nice texture and it went really quickly to place it in our illustration. That's how easy it is to
add a pre-made texture. When you have a photo that you want to create a texture of, we will add the wood
texture to photo, Add, Insert a file, and the wood texture. Here we need to make
some adjustments to this photo before we can
use it as a texture. I really recommend to have pretty high resolution
image so that you have a little bit to work
with there resolution wise. Then let's make
some adjustments. Let's just try out the
blending modes first. You might find that you instantly have something here that's your like,
for example, screen. If you would like texture that looks really close to the one to have in your photo, you can try that out
and also with opacity. But let's go to normal again. I will do some adjustments
to this photo to make it an even better image
to use as texture. The first thing that I would do is to make it black and white. I tap hue and
saturation brightness and drag down the
saturation to none. You can also play around
with the brightness here. I would just keep mine
at around 50 percent. Then I tap the adjustments
panel again and curves. Here I can play around with
the white and black parts of my images and make them more or less contrasting each other. Just play around a
little bit here. I usually drag down this curve and drag up
the curve around here. This is a standard s-curve, but I do it a little
bit more extreme. When I've got this look that is not that photo
realistic anymore, but more black and white. I tap the adjustments
panel and now I have an image that will look nicer I think when I used
the different blend modes. Now you can try out some
different blend modes. I will go for maybe
lighten or screen. Let's go for lighten, or screen might look better and bring down the
opacity if you want. When you have this
white and black image, you can try to tap the image and tap Invert and see if you like that texture to look better or if you like the
original one better. Let's bring down the
opacity a bit to maybe somewhere
around 60 percent. Here you have a pretty sharp and rough
texture in the background, which can be really cool. Now we can play around
and duplicate this image. If you, for example, would flip it around
and rotate it, you can get some
more texture by just duplicating the image and adding it to the other
part of the image. Then you can play around
with the opacity on both of these images and see where you
have a look that you like. I think that this
looks pretty good. This is just an example of
what you can do with a photo. You might have photos that work really good for creating
texture yourself. You can experiment with them and use the
different blend modes, opacity, and make
them black and white with the hue saturation
and the curves. Let's head over to
the next lesson, where I will show you how to create pattern of
this type of texture.
8. Full Drop Repeat of Image: Let's create a repeat
pattern of the texture. I will head into
my pattern files, so I will duplicate those. Let's start with
the flower one and delete the layers with
the repeated pattern. I will also delete the
layer with the pattern that we draw with the brush. Here I will add the image
with the pre-made texture. I will increase the size
to something like that. Let's try out
different blend modes. My guess is that Screen
will be good or Overlay. I don't like these darker spots here in the Overlay blend mode, so I will just use the
Screen blend mode. I think it's really
sharp for this pattern, so I will bring down
the opacity a bit, but still make it
visible in the video. I hope that you can
see the texture there. Now we will create
a repeat pattern of this texture and it's exactly the same method
as we did with the brush. But it is often a
little bit more work when you use an image to
create the repeated pattern. Let's just turn off the
group with the motifs, then I will duplicate this. I will duplicate this
texture so that we have four copies of the texture. I will turn on the Drawing Guide just to make sure that I
snap to the right position. Then we will do exactly the same thing as we did when we had drawn the texture. So we use the transform tool, make sure that we have snapping
and magnetics turned on. Then I place the
image exactly in the center cross with the dashed lines and
the yellow guidelines. Let's start with
the top left corner for the first texture. Then I drag the second one
to the top right corner, the next one to the
bottom right corner, and the fourth to the
bottom left corner. Then I will turn off the
Drawing Guide so that I can see where my texture
is repeated, and actually here I can see that this texture is
repeated quite nicely. I had some sharp edge here. Let's see. This looks pretty good, but I have something that
looks a little bit sharp here. What I mean with sharp
is that you can see a straight line where your
pattern tile is repeated. We don't want that. Let's go over and fix this texture so that it's a
seamless repeated pattern. Swipe all of your
texture layers together to merge them and then we
will use the clone tool. So in Adjustments
panel tap Clone. Here, I want to use some
kind of solid brush but with textured edges so that it will get a little bit more smooth
in edges when I clone. So let's try the
thick and texture from our texture brush pack. With that brush selected
and I will tap and drag my clone tool to somewhere beside the center where the
pattern tile is repeated. If I would tap it
just over the edge, then I will just see a
straight line everywhere. So I will just go
somewhere around there, maybe here and add a little
bit of texture around there. Let's see where we need
to adjust. Over here. Let's move over the clone tool and I will just go over really smoothly and make sure that it's looking seamless. Sometimes it can be
a little bit hard, but you need to do some detailed work to
make it look good. If you feel that this
brush that you're using is too thick, Let's try out the crunch
brush and once more. Maybe that will make it look a little bit smoother
with the crunch brush. Go in on the center points where your pattern
tile is repeated, and make sure that you clone your texture and don't
have these sharp edges. On this texture, I actually
find that the crunchy brush, were good to do
the cloning with. Yeah, that looks
pretty good to me. Let's turn on the motifs and as you can see I sets
at background texture, even where you might
think that you have like something that
are standing out, it might not be visible
in the background. So let's just repeat this
pattern and see how it looks. Swipe down with three fingers. Copy all swipe down with
three fingers again, paste, and I will drag my image to the
top of my layers panel, and I will repeat this pattern. Let's zoom in and see
how it's repeated. For me, this looks really good. As you can see when it's a background texture even
on the parts where I thought that it was a
little bit too much texture like uneven, unbalanced, it doesn't really matter when its a background
texture many times because you can't see it when there's other motifs
in the foreground.
9. Half Drop Repeat of Image: Now we will use the other
image, the wooden texture. I will show you this in
the other orange pattern, just as an example of
how to use an image as texture in the background
of a half-drop pattern. Let's delete the layer
with the brush texture that we created
earlier in class. Here I will add the photo
of the wood texture. I will decrease the size and place it to somewhere where I think
that it will do good. Let's just place it there. As you can see if I turn
on my orange Motifs, this is not the look
that I'm after. Let's just turn off
the Motifs for now and the same as we
did previously. I will go in and bring down the saturation to none
and adjust the curves. I will do a really
sharp S-curve here. Maybe somewhere around
there, it looks good. Then I will use probably the Screen blend mode and I will turn on my orange
pattern to see how that looks. That looks pretty good
but here I will actually duplicate the image and rotate it around because I feel that it's a little too much
texture in the center. Then I will just drag
the image out so that I have texture in
the whole pattern. Maybe something like that. Then I can try to duplicate
it again and see if I can add some texture to
the lower part here. That looks pretty good. Maybe I want to do the same with the top right part as well. Here you can just
play around and place the texture where you
want it in the background. Now, we will merge those layers, that is one layer and maybe you want to bring down
the opacity a little bit. I think I will keep mine
at about 70 percent. I will turn off the
layer with the motifs and with the image
layer selected, I will duplicate that one, keep my original, and I will choose my image
layer with the transform tool, tap and drag to the left to
snap it as a half rectangle. Then I will duplicate
the first layer again. That one, I will snap to the top right
corner as a quarter. Then duplicate the last one that I will add to the
bottom right corner. Then we merge those layers
together and here you can see how your image is repeated. It's very clear that we
have a problem around here. Let's go ahead with the
Clone tool and try a brush. I think that I will go for a little bit more
thick brush here. Lets try out the Thick
and Texture again. With the Clone tool selected, I will just try to add a
little bit of texture. I tried to go up and down on
the edge here so that it is not visible where I have
drawn the new texture. That looks good. Now I
will continue around here on this sharp edge. As you can see with the
background textures, it's not that hard to make it look good
because it will be in the background and it's
just white texture and it is a little bit
uneven from the start, so it's not that hard
to make it look good. So that looks great. Now, I will repeat this for the other half of
the half drop pattern. As I mentioned previously, if you don't follow
along with this, repeat, watch my class "3 Ways to
Create a Half-Drop pattern in Procreate" and you will understand the details of
how I create this repeat. I duplicate that image layer, tap and drag to the
right rectangle. Then I duplicate it again and I drag it up to
the top left quarter. I duplicate it again and I drag it down to the
bottom left corner. Merge those together, and
then I will actually just delete the layers with old textures because
I don't need that. This one is the repeated
half-drop texture. Now we can go in and see if we need to make
some adjustments. For example, here we have
a really sharp edge. With the Clone tool selected under Thick And
Texture brush again, I will just add some brush strokes where I think that it's
really visible, where the pattern
tile is repeated. That looks good to me. Now we will try out
our full pattern. I turn on the motif layer
and then I swipe down, three fingers, Copy all, swipe down with three
fingers, Paste. Here I have my flattened
pattern tile image. As this is a half-drop pattern, I drag it to the center left, swipe to duplicate the layer, drag it down to meet
up the half-drop tile, duplicate the original
tile again, drag it up. I duplicate the original tile once again and drag it
up to the top right. Then once again, drag it
down to the bottom right. Here you can see that the background texture is
perfectly repeated and it looks really good in this
half drop repeat pattern.
10. Save Your Textures: Now we have created all of
our different textures. What you can do now is to save
these textures so that you can use it for future
patterns and illustrations. Let's just have a look at
how you would do that. If you have created textures on a solid background
layer in this class, it will be a little bit easier. But if you have created them in a pre-made illustration
or pattern, I will show you how to do it. It's pretty easy as well. To make an example here, I will duplicate that
illustration on this pattern and show you how to save
those as texture files. I will just delete my motifs
in that illustration, and delete the layers
that I don't need. To show my texture I will
keep a background layer. But when you use it, you can change the color
of your background layer. Here you have your texture to use on another piece of artwork. The pattern, I will
just delete that, I will delete the motifs, and here I have the texture. Now I will just write
no repeat texture, let's just name it 1. This is a repeat
texture grain stamp. Now you can use
these textures in another pattern or illustration.
This is half drop. I forgot to write that, so I will probably write half drops so I know that
it's repeated in half drop. This is just an all repeat
for an illustration. If I would use, for example, that texture on another pattern, let's find a pattern that is
half drop and the same size. I will drag that one in. Its the same size, 3,600 pixels and this is
also repeated in half drop. Then I will just go in and copy the layer with the texture. I know that it's repeated in half drop and here
I have the images. Repeat this, I will
just delete those. Then above the background layer, I will tap the Access
Panel and paste, and there I have my texture. It might be a little
bit hard to see as our background is white, so let's use another
color in the background. That looks a little bit strange, but let's use the blue color so you can see the
background texture. Here you have your
repeated texture. This one is a half
drop or you can use it for any kind of future patterns. That's how easy it is. Then you have these files
and you can use them on patterns and illustrations
as you wish. If you would like to change
the color of the texture, it's most of the time
pretty simple as well. You swipe to the right on the texture layer and let's choose a darker
color, for example. By swiping to the right
with two fingers, I made sure that I have Alpha Lock selected
on that layer, and then I tap "Fill
Layer" and that will color the texture layer with the
color that you have selected. Then we can drag
down the opacity. There we have the same texture
used in another pattern.
11. Export Your Project: To share your project
here in class, you can decrease the
size of your images a little bit to make it
easier to upload if you wish. So either you can share just a solid background
with your texture on it, or for example, a pattern or illustration with the
texture in the background, or both if you wish. I will select those ones that I will share and tap duplicate, so that I don't mess around
with the original images. Then I tap into my image, tap the actions panel, crop and resize settings,
resample canvas, and I type in 1,000
pixels for example. Then I will tap into the
pattern and do the same, canvas, crop and resize, resample canvas,
and 1,000 pixels. Now I have two images
that are 1,000 pixels, so I select those, share JPEG, save
to my camera roll. Now those two are ready to be uploaded in class under the projects and
resources section.
