Transcripts

1. Intro: Bold Floral Patterns: Hi. Participating to a design challenge is brave, but can be also super fun. And what is more important, you can do it. So let's say that your goal for this class is to be effectively productive. But what is more important? Why being effectively productive to stay also ply creative. So in this class, you will learn not just how to do a repeat pattern in procreta on an evergreen team that you can use and reuse, but also how to step up in the process. Yep, you're going to build a pizza that can be your next entry for a spoonflower design. But most importantly, you are learning an effective workflow. To make a pattern for real people to enjoy. This class is a great starting point to learn in general, how to create pieces, taking in account the big picture. That makes it also visible to people that are interested to buy. Yes, people interested to buy, people that, for example, in Spoonflower, are there to click and buy something for their own project or for their own decor. So I'm here to guide you and providing you resources and focus. And if you are a procreate artist, puzzled by the annoying white line. You want to see my process. As you are not a beginner. Yep, how to use also keywords and give a context to your creation. Yep, again, we are also talking about ideal customers in an easy, fun and approachable way, I promise. Hi. Again, I Mata Mom, multi passionate and multi accent educator and surface designer. I freelancer for top industry leaders in this sector as a community guide and content manager, and I have a background in computer science engineering, and usability is my passion. Making complex things approachable, effective, and enjoyable is my mission, and seeing your project and success will sparkle my day. So what are you waiting for? I'll see you in the next lesson. 2. Project: Your Bold Florals: We're going to see in this class, but what is more important, what you're going to accomplish with this class. So we're talking about your project, but it's not just posting here in the project area, but also how to develop and consolidate your own workflow when you're creating a pattern and maybe using it to submit to a spring flower challenge, or using it in general to create a pattern, a piece, a design, and maybe later on, even a collection. Following a brief, having someone specifically in mind, what you have to do is you can watch all the lesson as you like. You can even jump from one to the other one to see what is more important for you because I envision you to come back to this lesson later on to get the most of the resources that I'm preparing for you. While this specific class is born, having in mind a current spoonflower challenge. And if you are participating, please let me know. I would love to support you. And cheer you up. Here we are talking about bold florals and in general, let's say, floors that are evergreen. So you can use the concept in this class forever design that you're going to do and redo, also reflecting different inspiration and different phases of your journey. What I'm expecting to see in the project, first of all, I would like to see one of your pizza, and maybe you can also share where you're making this pizza available for people interested in buying it. This one is the basic assignment. So try to create something and put it there, have it in mind, not just the drawing, not how to do the pattern. All of this one is something that we are going together in this class. If you're not able to do pattern in Procreate, you can follow along with me. If you're already able to do pattern in procret, you still wanted to check my workflow because it's super cool that can save you a lot of time. What is more important for me is that I think this workflow is ready for you. You are ready to do it. It's not important in which stage you are. I'm sure you can follow it. Maybe you needed to repeat the class or the video one more time, but I'm sure you have everything it takes to do it. Obviously, this class is done mainly for procrata surface designer. I love procrata, but if you have ter workflow or you prefer software to do your own design, I would still recommend to watch the part related to how you can approach the SEO aspect, brainstorming for preparing and releasing design that are not just beautiful but also are reachable and visible from real people. And above this, I also have an class in Skillshare. Feel free to check the resources and keep me posted. I cannot wait to see your project and what you're going to do. So I see you now in the next video about what is a spoon flower challenge. We will use this one as an example and how to approach it. I'll see you soon. 3. SEO and Customer Avatar First: Before we start talking about C words and our new fun approach to thinking about our customer Avatar, let me show you what you will find in the resources. So you will get the link directly to this page that is dedicated to the class where you can access all the resources that I prepared for you. In particular, when you will download this button here, you will get directly to this PDF. Let me show you. From this PDF, you can also go back to the resources. So it's like linking each other. It's important when we approach a challenger to go and read the assignment of the challenge, but at the same time, try to reinterpret in a way that we can develop maybe more color ways or even a mini collection that will not just allow us to get one pattern that we can use in a spring flower challenge, but also in general for something that is going to be there for sale for someone interested. Talking about challenges, you can click here and you will go to the current one in a spool flour. I think that the challenges are good, especially if you are stuck on this creative phase and you don't know what to make. I'm thinking about, for example, your signature style didn't emerge yet, or maybe you still wanted to explore. Well, participating to a challenge can be super useful because somehow they can guide you to the next phase. Be mic pull flower, but also there are team of people that are searching for tending topic for people to buy, right? So you want also to train yourself in this kind of gym to prepare things that are not just an illustration or a pattern, but there's something that they have potential to be bought by someone that is going to appreciate the product and the art that will make that product so special. So if you're not sitting in any creative block, maybe you don't need the challenges. But this glass might still be helpful for you to see how when you play something, even in your own signature style, it's interesting to make your own story on how this illustration, this piece is going to be enjoyed and bought by someone real. Right? So now, let's use this specific challenge that is this one here, the bold floral as a case scenario. So at the end of this class, you will be able to have at least one entry. I think more if you follow all the tutorial on how to do the pattern. But let's say, you will have one design that you could submit as an entry for this challenge. Before you start to design, it's important that we take a look at what is asking this challenge and we try to optimize it. So in this case, we're supposed to let our creativity bloom. For the bold the Florence design. We are asked to think about a vibrant color, maximalism print, if you like, striking the tails for a bright design that celebrated the beauty of flowers. Everything here is there for you to reinterpret on your own way. And even if you don't have a style yet, let's take this chance to reinterpret your point of view or your inspiration or what speaks to you right now in this context. Remember to use rich user and strong contrast because you want to make something that must be energetic and impactful. If you don't know exactly what color to use, I'm going to provide you in the next lesson, also a color palette that you can use. So don't worry about this part, but just keep in mind that everything can be personalized according to your taste or vision. If you participated to the challenges Pofloer the voter will be casting them on the tab nail shown as fabric. So you might want to consider this one for the success on the spoon flour challenge itself for the voting process. In this specific case, it's going to be shown as a first quarter of fabric. It is important in the voting process to pay attention on this. Personally, in this class, I decided that we are going to test these bold florals on what it does. Because I think the bold Florence in particular are something that you can use really in different scales. So this is I choose this example. I really think that is something that you can use and reuse. And specifically, for me, I decided that while I will participate the challenge, and I think my pattern will look good fabric I couldn't resist thinking about a wallpaper. To summarize after reading the challenge, try to make something that is vibrant, and you can also go with maximalism. Flour, go crazy. And then try to get some catching color, striking contrast and expressive floral motives that demand attention. Try to make something that will maybe with a detail or maybe with a particular or maybe with a hidden meaning. You're taking the attention of the viewer and make them want to know more about your pattern and having your pizza in their lives. In general, I would also suggest, especially because this pattern could be reused also on wallpaper and spool flower is really pushing on wallpaper, is to think of the possibility of earning oversized flowers, intense color combination, and fearless high energy compositions. The tap to uniform or to any style. You can follow along with me, but you don't have to use my choices. Whatever your style is hand draw, painterly or graphic, this is your chance to create a floral design that stand out and make impact. Really, when you decide, try to think about this one. You're not just participating. Try really to enter in the mood of the challenge and what it requires to do. Designing, preparing the pattern is not enough to make the pattern in front of the right people. Even the best pattern, the most beautiful pattern in the world, by the way, I don't know how you can identify this vacuum. But even in this case, if you don't pay attention on SEO words, people will not reach that pattern and they cannot bite, right? So remember to use SEO as a key. Use floor related keywords that highlight your design style, the color, and the mood to improve the visibility and reachability. SEO words are important for visibility. They can be even more effective if you started to use them before designing your pattern. So you do need SEO words when you upload your design on printed domain website or Internet in general, if you will start to make a workflow, where first, you will think about SEO words, and then you will start to design, and then you will make your beautiful pattern and then you will upload it. Time by time, you will see definitely an improvement on the matter of numbers. That I think is something that will boost your creativity and why not give it a try. If you need the inspiration on SUWords, I just wanted to remind you check the resources. Let me show you. If you click on the resources, you will go directly this page that I created for you. Feel free to use everything here that can be useful for your design. Let me show you what you will find here. Five use cases. That you can use a inspiration. So one is about modern Home Decor, and you have a list of keywords that you can copy and taste on your own design. Here is another idea on DIY crafting enthusiast and the quilter. Again, you will have an idea of what are the products that you should envision your pattern and some ideas, some keywords. The Turda use case scenario is about someone that is getting to your pattern to your piece because they want to do some gift or personal project. The fourth case is about commercial application, someone working in retail or hospitality, and the fifth case is about children and pets friendly design. If you can combine these bold flowers, thinking about something that is fun, is playful and can reach the kids decor, why not? Think about this bright floral theme that maybe can be used on pet accessory and bending. And again, you can use the keywords that I already put there with mystical floral pattern, colorful kids, playful botanical, epiflower print, and painted floor, la blah. You go there and you check it and reduce it as you want. Plus, I'm also providing you five examples where I didn't just give you the scenario, but I also give you the clear example of title, description, and tags that I would use in spring flower. So I'm not taking too much of your time right now. Reading all the example, just go there and check. Plus, you will have extra resources as pinterest board. You can check the best selling on spoonflower related to this topic, and you can check as I use it in the mockup. You can support my own entry if you like. And you can also participate to a collective collection spoonflower together. What does it mean? It means that when you will have a bold floral pattern design, Spoonflower is available for people to see and to buy. You can also let me know via the form. Actually, let me show you this. First of all, you can go and check the current collective collection. This one is the one in progress for the bold flowers. So you can go here, and when you will be logging Spoonflower, you can support the design and also check the other artist shop support them is super important. Then you can participate with your own piece. So you can just use this form and send me the link. You can use it also in the project area. We don't finish just by doing the piece, personally. By practicing and study and opening our mind, we will make this process easier and easier. And most probably also funnier. Once I read, I forgot from Pum, that the difference between being an amateur and a professional is that you will love also the things that at the beginning, you didn't love at all. And this one is part of our journey. But let's go back now and also remember to vote on Spoonflower if you're already there. If you need a specific suggestion on the tags, remember, you can ask feedback by posting your project and let me know. So I would love to give you feedback, and you can also check this t plus that I have in Skillshare that will show you how to use a custom plugin that I developed for surface designer to help them get effectively title description and tags done on Clinton Man website or website in general. So you might want to check this one. And as I already said, remember to share it when you do with them. Not just with us, but also get used with this practice to share it with the world. Doesn't matter if it's not perfect. Really, done is better than perfect. And what is important in my opinion, and I hope that you will think the same is that it is to get better step by step. So it's like my challenge is not to be the best one in promote, but at least to be better than what I did the previous time or what I did the previous month. Snow bota is good growth. I took this sentence from Stacy Bloomfield and it is one of my favorite. I really think it makes a difference. So remember, just a little step forward can make the difference over time. Just show up. Be resilient on this one. Put your efforts, and you will see the result ping up slowly, but they will arrive. Then it's time also now to show you an extra example that I did especially for this class. I was thinking, when I design, what if we started to practice also with the ideal customer Avatar? One of the problem that many artists tell me about ideal customer avatar is that they think, Oh, I don't have a niche or I cannot identify. Maybe it's just me or something like that. All the work that you are going to do or that you're already doing on IDL customer avatar is not something that will not be useful. That if thinking about the big picture right now in your journey is scary or is a way to procrastinate the exercise. I'm telling you why when you participated to a challenge or when you have a brief, you try to identify one customer ideal avatar. Doesn't have to be this person forever in your artistic career or for all your pieces or for all your connection can be just for this specific challenge. And you know what? I provided you before all that lista. And then while I was preparing them, I was like, you know what? I think I want Sarah. This one is Sarah to be my ideal customer avatar, for this challenge. Sarah is looking for something. To decorate her modern home. Actually, is an apartment, USC zone. So she's going for something bold and she's familiar also to artistic interior. She's a professional. She's actually a doctor. She just moved in a new city to work as a doctor in a hospital. And the point is that by looking at Sarah, I think that I'm interested to design for someone that might be a stylish on honer or interior design looking for a statement piece for someone like in the case of Sarah that is reallocating in another city but wants to make this one personal and resonating with her style. So her lifestyle is someone that loves high impact, created spaces and isn't afraid to play with bold patterns. And I will also suggest you to look for the shopping habits. For example, she's also going to look for designer wallpaper or upholstery fabrics to match her unique aesthetic for her new apartment. I one for me, it was also a way to envision the fact that, for example, with product as the new wallpaper that you can just peel and stick and remove easily without damaging the walls or something like this. I do think that Sarah is really the ideal person. She wants, maybe also even to looking for something unique. So the idea of going in spoonflower and having this possibility and at the same time, supporting an emerging artist might be also a plus for her. Each time you are starting to design something for spoonflower, and you are thinking about the keywords or it's not just keywords. You have to think about who is going to search this kind of piece of spoon flower. So ideally for my example, will be intergor designer looking for a statement wall paper for high end clients or DIY customer decoration that wants to make something bold, the maximalism, also in terms of upholstery fabric or homeowners or people that are locating in a new city that are looking to just go and spoon flour and order something to complement their space with this kind of also bold and high vibe energy. If Sarah will go to spoon flower today with this one in mind, most probably she will digit something like bold the floor wallpaper, Maximal is the floalPrin, modern botanical, statement floral, colorful floral, contemporary floor. This is what I thought. This one doesn't have to be all the calves that you have a full flower. But really, when you're choosing them, try to think about what someone, in this case, Sarah is going to digit. And also, this one is the cases consider that Sarah is going to move in this kind of apartment. That it happened also to me whenever located in the States they are cool apartment, but they need personalization, right? And most probably Sera did look for something on Pinterest, maybe even something super extreme like this. She was like, Oh, it's an allergic reaction. Like, you see all this we all this flat fink. And so she was going really wild in Pinterest and magazine to search something like that. This one is just to tell you that this one could be also in your mind, something to remind that you might do one or more or mini collection where Sarah can order a wallpaper, but also with one element, you can do the printer and then the cushion, the pillow, the chair, the curtain, sorry, the curtain, the carpet, everything. So this image there is just to trigger you on this direction. And here we are. Now, you are ready to put on practice what we talk about thinking about keywords first and then started to implement your design. So just to remind, if you want to follow along with me, to consider that I'm looking for you to do something that should go well like a statement floral wallpaper for bold interiors, something that is vibrant, that can be like an accent for chairs and pillow. And this one are the keywords that you can keep in mind. So like a statement, floral wallpaper and upholstery fabric for vibrant spaces. And when you're doing it, remember the picture of what is the space right now that wants to have this kind of personalization thanks to our design. Plaza, now, if you follow along with me, you will see that you will find this suggested palette, just four colors. Of course, you can go and put many colors or something like that. I'm just providing you four colors plus black and white because I do think that sometime unlimited palette is really liberating our creativity. And so this is what you must find. Remember, this is something like the inspiration that Sara was looking for. So you really wanted to impress her. In the next section now of the class, we are going to move in implementation. You can follow along with me and draw together, taking in account what we discussed up to now to design something from Sara if you want. For example, you want another example, I would definitely recommend you to check the resources again, for example, so I went for the number one home decor. And as a bonus of this class, I'm giving you also this one that is like a deep diver in the second Kaiser, that is the DIY crafting enthusiast and quilter. You will find all of this one in the resource material. But I also encourage you to check the use case scenario and the author example to really see what resonated the most for you. And I can't wait to see what you're going to do. So remember again, put also your progress in the project section. You don't have to do everything at once. You can start together, watch together, and start to update your project gallery there also has a mini journey. And I'll see you soon in the next video where also I will tell you why I do have Mama worth the Madamam template for doing my patterning procreate to be sure that I will do them faster, easily with fun, and they can't forget forever about the terrible, irritating white lines that I think everyone that already did patterning procreate, unfortunately, no, right? I see in the next video. 4. Frustrations with Patterns in Procreate: Procret hates coffee and also is against lead to deprivation for real, not talking here. So I might follow the suggestion of my mag, and let's work hard but that harder. Pattern and proprita are one of my biggest passion. And at the same time, they have been also the reason of my biggest frustration in Procreate, too. What I wanted to do with this class is to guide you through a workflow with some specific resources that I will make available for you that will allow you to start or to continue your journey with Pattern in a less frustrating way and to stay apply creative while also effectively productive. If you already did a pattern in Procreata, you might be familiar with the super frustrating issue of having the super bothering noising white lines. And to be honest, I think this one is the reason why Spoonflower asked us to test digitally now where we can really zoom on the product, the design that we are doing. For example, I will show you here right now this design. If you look at that, you will think, Oh, wow, yes, it's perfect. It's just there. Nothing wrong. But this one is an old design, and last weekend I took 2 hours to fix it. Trust me, not a perfect repeat button. You don't trust me? Yep, I will show you. I will go here and dis select the square. And if you look closer, you will see that just in one side of this pattern, there is this super annoying white line. Yap is there, and check it does in different color ways. Is there too. You don't see it if you see the pink line there, but as soon as I remove it, you will see that this one happened. We are going to learn together how to do simple repeat a seamless pattern that will not have this issue. No matter how many coffee you're drinking, you will see that you can apply be confident that this problem will be go, done and gone. Doing pattern is a journey that you will develop. It's like you have to do it and do them to build this muscle memory, not just in your hands, but also in your brain, both of them. And it's super normal at the beginning to have issues. I want you to see how fast it could be with a simple motive, and then we will also try to do a blender together. To then use this workflow to do whatever pattern you would like. And talking about them, young career mistakes. Later, I'm going also to go and spoonur and removal from sale this pattern that I did in these two color ways because actually, thanks to this lesson when I was desperately looking for all the pattern, I did realize that despite I did the proof for this one, as you can see, as a swatch. It was not visible the problem that I had it with that annoying white line. So now I know that it's there. I know that I cannot leave it for sale until I fix it. I will do it. But are you ready now? We are going to do our first repeat pattern together with a warlo that will be easy, fun, and faster, and white eline free. Let's start. 5. Setting the Palette, Pattern Tile & Test: Pattern intro Creta, and we're going to be or maybe they had already one big person. But they can be also very frustrating, especially at the beginning, but trust me, sometimes also during the way, especially when we start to get these kind of very buggy and noisy white lines randomly. And, oh, my gosh, what happened? Right? My point is, in this class, I want you to feel empower and liberated the workflow and by providing you also. Some resources. In particular, I'm talking about Aten Plata, that I did, and I'm super happy to share with you that hopefully we'll let you enjoy more the butter making process in progreta and let you feel not just effectively productive but also ably creative. This one is my goal. If you're at the beginning of the journey, just follow along and enjoy directly learning with this workflow. If you're already a surface designer in Pro cradm used to do pattern there, you might still want to check this class to see if this one will make your life easier. Let's go first and take my template from the resources. Let's import it together. So I will go here in important, take the recent the name is pattern Base by Madamon. And it will be important directly through creta. For this siza, I'm also providing you a paneta that you can use and reuse as much as you like. The Golda is to do a floral pattern that is bolder and warm and full of energy. I actually prepared the basa to get ready for this lesson. I already also use it to participate to a spring flower challenge. So if you want, you can go in my spring flower shop and check it there and chill it there. But, yeah, we're going to do it also here, and I may also find the time to show you how we can also envision the result of our pattern in a procrt mockup. So let us start. One thing first is that in general, when you have let's say, a document in procreatd, you can get to the color directly by clicking here, and you will see it appear here and the color wheel. My suggestion is, especially if this one will be the first button of a mini connection is to save the color palette that you're going to use directly in procreatea. Trust me, is really a good habit. Maybe you will be in this go classic, you can go in palette and then push the plus button, create a new palette, and then here, you can, for example, rename it bold plural. And we are going to add the color again, by clicking here, getting the circle, then click Da do the same. The blue and the magenta. And I also like to add the black and white. So I will say for me, the classic is easier to visualize where it is. So in this corner is pure black. So I will go now with my panette and add the black, and I like also to add the white that is in this corner here. And I will add it already here, the palette here because it's just the one that we're using, and here we are ready to go. Now, you will go in the template, and you can, if you want, right now, select the palette idea that I provide because now you don't need it, we already did the palette. Then I will go here and select the Blackcom and we are ready to start to draw. As a brush, I will suggest to go in calligraphy and Monoline. Everyone has this brush because it's part of Procret when you download it. And then I will use directly, let's say, my original idea. So I'm sure that I'm sticking with it. Let me move it a little bit here so you can see it too. And, yes, sir. So we are here not to talk about the style. We're here to show you how you can do a super faster picking pattern with me. Filing to follow along or to go with your own subject. And can you positive about that. I would do simply, let's say, the circle inside. You can also keep it clicked to have a better circle. You don't have to. If you want, you can also modify a little bit, just to make it exactly again, circle or not. Doesn't matter for me. The point is that we're making let's say the element around the center. If you don't see this line coming up, it's because you don't have snapping activated. So you might want to go here and make this to blow. But it's not necessary, just if you want. Personally, I like also to leave this first circle in a new layer and then add a ton layer and start to do the petals. And you don't have to be exactly like I did. For example, you see now, mine is already different. It doesn't matter. Okay, just to show you that you can always fix stuff, you can also go on the eraser and take away this part if you want. And here the same. It's really not this wonder point. I just wanted to show you how I would do it. And just to be also consistent on this idea, I will do inside another small circle to put my face up. I like it more. See, I already drink too much coffee, so I do need the help of procreta Hello. And I might want to make it like this. And then I will do the smiley face inside, too. Maybe this time, I will make it more k Bay I don't remember how to say this. Yeah, like this one. Okay, I think for me is fine. Oh, I also wanted to tell you that, of course, you can also add additional motif. In this case, I just did this one like this. I just wanted to show you that have a cap of how you can draw something, how you can fix something if you need the hidont and that's all. Of course, you can also a first sketch. In my case, I will just go directly with this one. And fix it. You are the artist. You are the one taking decision on that. When I'm ready, I will collapse my sketch here. Usually, I also do a duplicate. I don't think it is necessary in this case. But what I would do is I will put it as a reference here. And then I will add a new layer below, so I will click here, add plaster, and I will start also to add the color. One of the rule that I always follow is each layer has a color. Each color has a layer. So. Let's say that I want to go with this schema here of the design. So I will for Simon, I take this fierce ad as a baser so I can go in the level of the sa I can even just feel the layer, and now it is. Then now, this one is a reference so I can just drag and drop the color. Hopefully, I didn't left anything open. Let's check. I will take the yellow and bring it here. Com. Yes done. And then I will take the blue and add it here. And I think we are fine for this design because technically, they smile here and they say, Oh, I just forgot, sorry. Let's go back. Remember, not so bad. Like this. Then another layer, and then we bring the blue here. At the moment, basically, we have just this three color, knowing then actually the smile face is empty. There is no color. If I remove, for example, the base you will see what is behind. So by the way, we don't need it. For example, now we see the background color. So I just wanted to show you and also, I want to show you how it looks like. Now we are ready to make butter out of it. Ready? It's going to be super fun and super faster. The main point is before proceeding, we have to take our element here. I tend to group it, and then I will duplicate to this one, and I will take below the basa a big and now I will take this one. Now that we're ready, we can even take our basa and put the base, say, the background of this one inside. You can also remove it you can emulate. The point is that it's important that now in this group, you have your element and you have the background. That's all. This one is what is at the basa of making the pattern mean this way. What you would do Isa now select this group. Let's call it like phaser one of the repeat pattern. Is that now we are going here and set sorry. Okay. Sometime proclt will not allow you to select a group. Usually, it does. If this one happen and I'm glad that actually happened during a lesson, there is a way where you can overcome this problem that is going directly in the group itself and select like this all the layers. So remember to select all the elements of your pattern and the colors and plus also the background. Then you will go in select and you will go in save and Dowd you will go down and select selection one. And then you will take the arrow and flip Orizonto, flip vertical. Then without touching anything you will deselect it. Now go in selection again saving Loda. Number two. Arrow, Orizonto vertical. Then select the arrow, go back on selection. We're going to repeat it for number three. Arrow, clip horizonto lip vertical. Arrow, selection, saving Loda, number four, arrow Orizonto vertical. And now, basically, we have separated ready and push in the corner without moving them around the element. And what we're going to do right now is, let's go. You remember in the first group backup. We can duplicate again, but now we are also able to keep it. We will bring it up here. And Taban is already there. Of course, when you're doing this one, you can decide how to reposition this element. For example, I will select the element itself, how it was originally, and maybe in this case, I will deactivate it stepping and magnetics to be more free. So now I'm moving it. I think this is fine for me. It really depends as you. In the original pattern, I made it in a way that it was supposed to be one phase up and one place upside down. But it's the same. It doesn't matter really how you do it. I think I'm going to leave it. Most probably. As I did at the beginning, actually, I think it was fine. Like this, yeah, I think I want to leave it like this, of course, you find the orientation that you like. But technically, we already did our pattern. You don't believe me? Let me show you. I will show you now that this one is a repeat pattern, and then I will show you also how to keep this one in order to go with color wise. I will now take three finger down, Copila. I will go above this one and then three finger down, paste. This come by 3,000 by 3,000. So if you click here, here, 1,500, let's go in there, three finger down. I'm sorry, I'm too far from. Okay. Just give it a try. The repeat pactum is already there. And then 1,500 And then 1,500. We did our first repeat button. It's already there for real. The point is that this one is up to view, so it's a flat image. But this one here is not a flat image. We will be able to work on colors and a lot of things together. So let me show you how 6. Colorways, Scales and Testing with Procreate Mockups: It's time now to prepare our file to be used and reuse, especially in colorways. So I will go here and I will start to rearrange my P one that was phase one. So basically, what you're going to do is that you are going to take all the layer that belong, let's say to the same concept. So like this one was the outline. This one is the blue color. This one is the yellow color, and you will just merge them together. You can pinch them like this. And physically, I'm sorry. Oscar entering our recording. Sorry. We were saying, remember always to leave basically the ground layer, just as a last one. So you can move it like this and it's absolutely fine. In this way, we are super organizer and we are ready actually to work in color ways. And we can do it, for example, one thing that I like to do is too, I will rename this one as original because I tend to remember also the original color that I start to work with. And then I will alpha lock them. By clicking here, you don't need to reach alpha lock this one. Then I will do a duplicator like this, and I'm keeping this one as a backup. You can also leave it to set it up because there is this one already above, so it's not a problem. Now I'm ready to work with Outer colorway. For example, let's say that now I want to make the background here blue. I can just go here, select the blue, and then I can fill the layer. Or for example, I can take now the magenta and add the magenta here, fill the layer. Of course, you can also select now the S here, sorry, S here, and then color fella. And with color fill activated, will be much easier to change the color once you select something. So for example, now I go in Selecta you see it's already yellow. Or I can check what I like. For example, I think that this one is too much, so I can go like that or as you prefer. This one is just to show you that you can do many colorways. Now that you are like that, you could export it directly, and this one is already a tile ready for spoonflower. And to do an other color way, for example, this one, I don't know. I will usually I tend to save it with the predominant color. Like, in this case, I think I will go with blue because of the background or because of the elements. And then if I wanted to do another color way, I would duplicate either the original or that one. Remember, if you put it on top, you don't have to, for example, remove this parta and I will just proceed in the same way. So in this case, I will, for example, select again the background. Since a color field is activated, it's super easy to change. Here they are just for color. But still, let's say that I wanted to try to see how it is with black. I can just forkta and maybe I can go little white here. What is it? Select, the white. We are also creating something that is different but still a coherente if we want to do a collection. So I think it's nice to play with color. But another thing that I wanted to show you before exporting it for spoon flour is that we can also create direct scales in Procrit. Because, for example, if you see this one now is the tail, it's a little bit complicated for me to envision how the pattern will look like. So we can do a scale and then proceed in the same way to have already a better understanding of how it will be in a smaller scale, and maybe then reuse it also for a mockup. So let me show you what I mean. Here, I let me reno this one before this one is the black and yellow. Sorry. Oh. Is changing. Then let me proceed now with the phase two. Phase two, I will take a copy of my original here, and I will remove it above. This is how I keep organized. I know that for me, phase one is the one where I build my original tail and maybe I started to experiment with colors. I tend to experiment with colors also later in ter scale, but sometime I like also to anticipate it at this point, part and now here, exactly. I will rename it now as phase two. And in phase two, what we're going to do is we will duplicate this 14 times. I tend to use always the original one to duplicate like this. And then I will start from the one above the one here, and I will select it. And then I will instead of drag and drop this one are really source of these kind of white lines in procrata, I will go on the corner and digit 1,500. It is really like when we did the testing, but now we're working on a group. I was like we did this one, then we will proceed on this one here, and we will go in this angle here and then 1,500. Just to be sure that you're not touching the comb in the meanwhile we are doing this. I will collapse it, then I will go in the third one, select and then here 1,500. Select it again. We just missed the last one. And here, 1,500. Great. And now you would think, Okay, I think you Ma, but now we have all these things, so what should we do? Now we can collapse them together. And this one, it will be a scale, a smaller scale that we can still use also in different color ways. So let me show you. So now I will open all the four here. I will go in the one on the top. So let's say I'm taking this one, the draw here layer, I will make blue also the second one here, third and fourth. And then sorry. Third and fourth. Some to go. And then I will select group. And as you can see, all of them are moving above here, and it will be easier for me to collapse them like this, and I will be ready actually to move directly above here. Then I will repeat the same concept with each layer that was corresponding to a color. So I will take layer 14. All of them starting always from the one above and then group. When it's group, I will merge them in one and then bring it above here. Let's repeat the same group, collapse them, and then bring it here. Now, you can do the same for this one, or since they are basically just the background color, you could directly add a layer and bring the color like this. Oh, sorry. Since the reference was still activated in the original one, that's not what it is. This one was something that I forgot. You should remember to deactivate the reference. Good that we trust. We test this one. If you see now if I do it it will just be the same. I can take away this one or another thing if you don't want to cancel all this layer that you don't need, you can simply collapse them together, and it will be the same. So you're ready to go. So now we have two bays. I can remove this one. And here we are ready for phase two, basically. And in phase two, you could do again, color way. So you can rename it now phase two, let's say, original. And you could duplicate and work again on colorways. Let's say now I will do the magenta, and here I will select and which one we are, This one. I can go with the blue. We can really change. Maybe I will go again like this. Yeah, something like that. We are already doing this one, and technically, you can go further as much as you like. Remember, Procreate is a raster program, so you never want to scale up, but you can scale down. So in this case, you could do exactly the same process that we did with the phase between the phase one and the phase two and continue to a phase three, where you will also make a smaller scale. For me, I think, in this case, I'm already more than happy, and I will take this chance also to show you how I might already test my pattern or this idea in a mockup. So for example, let's say, I will copy and paste directly in procreate with three finger down. I will go and search for my mockup and let's say exactly I wanted to check how we look this color way in this setting. So what can I do is I will basically just go here, insert a new layer, then three finger down base. I'm already checking this pattern on this mockup. Maybe this one is something that is too big. So I can already play in procreta with this mockup. Sorry. One thing I would suggest you with the mockup is to reactivate magnetic ensnapping because we'll make your life easier to also, let's do a scale directly here. Let's say, yes, I want to go with something similar to this one. I would just duplicate the layer. And Oh, sorry, I did wrong. I will take it again. Here. Like this, I got even another idea and then duplicate, the point is that now when I will aplod in spoon flour or in the platform where I will make available my design for my customer, I will make sure maybe to go and make sure that I have a scale that is similar to this one. And you can do it, as you can see, directly, let's say, Ippriate to scale down, or you can also do it in spoonflower directly. This one is literally up to you. Now that we'll learn how to make a seamless repeat pattern in procreative from one element, I want also to show you how actually we could do for this pattern, let's say, a blender, starting from this pattern itself. So I will show you in the next video. 7. Blenders and exporting the tile: Now you made your first seamless repeat pattern in procreate using this workflow, and you know that you can play with color ways and also you can do directly skills. You can replicate the procedure with the elements. I will show you in my gallery some example. I have this linksa that I use for my calendar, and I basically just reuse it to do a pattern in the same way, exactly the same way. This is how I wanted to show you that this system seems simple, but at the same time, it's very powerful to just leverage pieces that you already have. Plus, I really believe that by leveraging pieces, you're going, for example, to use S the element for breedings card. Let me show you. Or for example, then reposition it according to where you want it to allocate and which kind of product. You can then experiment not just with the element but also with the pattern itself in more composition. You are also ready for another exercise. That is add some additional elements. In this case, let's say some pre handed stars and then use this element that you are first allocating according to your original pattern to make a blender later on. I wanted to show you, for example, this one is ready, ready to be a blender. This one is a seamless repeat pattern to that I can upload. I didn't yet and I will show you actually how I can upload it is f flour. But this one is a blender that I need out of this workflow. So it's like I'm starting from a seamless pattern with one element and then from there, I started to generate idea to do blender, starting by allocating the element of this blender directly on the original pattern. Let's start actually from this. Oh, no, sorry. Let's start from the one we did together. That is, I guess this one. I will just go on the original one in the phase one, but I will take really the original here. And then, once you have it, remember to duplicate. I will select it like this and then duplicate. I love to have duplicate it to be sure that I can proceed. And for example, here, I would also suggest you to rename the file directly with your own preferences. So now I will already call it blender at the moment, and we are ready to go. To speed up the process, I just wanted to tell you that I create a brush you procreate that I'm going to share also with you. Sorry I have the bro pen. So it's going to be this monoline story by Madam that will help you to do this one. You can try with Monoline too, but you will see that especially in this case of let's take it black. What I'm going to do here is basically doing this kind of thing, right? If you want, you can do it actually even smaller if you want to let's try. Yes, because I think I use an outer dimension for this one that we did together. And remember also you can save the dimension that now, for example, I move therap it's good. So we can save bookmark the dimension of what we are using. Let me show you the difference between this one and the normal monoline. I don't know if you can notice it make it like this. Is that the normal monoline will make us this kind of It ending that I don't like. So I modify the monoline, the original monoline to make it like this according to my preference. Now, let me clear this one. And I will go back to the Brush later will make available for you. And then let's go. What I would do at the moment, this one is basically the general principle that you will apply with this template for Ana for all the pattern that you're going to do is that you will try to stay away from the border, and you will start to sell the area according to your preferences, but never on the border. And here, I'm definitely not doing a good job because I don't want to take too much of your time, but this is what you're going to do. Just try to do it and don't focus too much on what is happening too much near the border because this one we're going to do it in the second phase. No. So I would do something like this. Let's say, I don't want to do too many. So also paste the space between the element. Remember, when you're doing a blender, also negative spaces are important, right? So, now that we did like this one, here in the new original is that we have an additional layer. Now, we will proceed as we did before. We will select it select them. Again, we're having this problem, so we know how to solve vita. We will just select all of them together. Then select them, load the layer. You'll go with selection one, arrow Orizontal vertical. Oh, I didn't. Select sorry. Load Selection one. Okay, now it's there. Then What the heck? What did they do? Repeat. Select it again. Select. Oh, you have to remove corner field. Sorry. This one was a big mistake. Luckily, Oh, wow. This class is going to be troubleshooting also experience together. So then save and load them. Selection one nows working. And then arrow horizontal, vertical. Done. Then seven load selection two Orizonta vertical, done. Selection three, arrow, izonta vertical, done. Last one, four, Hizonta vertical, done. There is more spaces that I want to fill. A we go directly on the layer. In this case is 42, the one where I add my star and my abstract star, and I will just continue like this. My point is that, as you can see right now, it's something like my pattern is already more complex, and I can also show you again, by copying and going say here above, that we can check it how it is. Sorry, too fast. You have to give procreate a little bit of time to go there, yes. We already add an extra layer of interest if you like it, but you can also decide to make it available or not. This one is really depends on you. I was checking how it was possible there was a lie. Is it possible, okay? And then here Oop. Okay. So I think this one is already super cute but when you find something cute, I will always recommend you also to save it as the workflow that you prefer, for example, you can even just export it as a J tag and then save the image that is already ready to be upload in spring flower. This one is already, say, the smaller scale and this one is the original tile. So the same. You can export both of them. Well here JPEG, save the image, or save it as a file as you prefer. But what I wanted to show you is also that now since we have everything in layer, I can even go in the same group and make invisible oh, sorry. Another thing that I want to tell you is that by heading all of the layers separate, we could even decide to do version, for example, you simply want to do I don't know, the line work like this. This one could be also another version that you can upload, so you can still save it, save us image. We're already making three file that you're going to upload in firm flower. And here you could change the color as we have different options. But my point right now is that you could even decide now too. Take away the line work. And you will also have a repeat pattern with the elements. You could be sometime I find it also interesting to just add this one as it is, maybe in a smaller scale. So let's say that I will show you. Just to be faster, I will just show you let's say in this way. So I will go again above and then I wanted to show you on a smaller scale how it is, and I think it's already interesting to see This one is really depending on the pattern itself. But sometimes even let's say re using exactly the element outside the original pattern is interesting. And I will still keep it here as example. But I want also to show you that starting from this position that is compatible with my elements, I can also do a blender that will stand alone directly and will be a seamless repeat pattern. So for example here, I can select again the same brush and if you want to just to be sure you can use two different layers at the beginning and then collapse them. According to the space that you already left before, you can add more. Sure. Just remember to stay away from the border. You can go as you like. So I think for me, it's fine. And then guess what? I will duplicate it just to be sure. I like to duplicate also to be sure that I'm able to go back if something is wrong. And then I will select all the layer, also the original one, and I will do the same proch select Save and ode, selection one, arrow, horizontal vertical, selection two. Aro selection three. Arrow, and then selection for arrow. Now we are ready to complete and for example, also to modify if something doesn't make sense. For example, by looking at this one, these two are two closer, and by the way, they were on the same one there. So what I would do is I will select them. Oh, sorry. I will select as a free end. I will take them outside, and then I will just continue here and do it like that. Maybe I don't need. And you could even add Otter. I think this one is going to be too close to this one. I think this is fine for me. So this one is a repeat pattern. Is it perfect? Maybe not. I was more during the demonstration for this class. But I think that I like the idea that I can do also simple repeat pattern that will work as a blender, and that really useful. And actually, they have kind of success in Spoonflower, especially if you think about quilter or crafter in general, that they might need something simple to match with everything. Okay. So I think I can call this one down and I can also export it. So perceive it as image and done, and we are ready actually to proceed to our last exercise where we will try to do a non floral pattern, but a little bit more random together. 8. From Garden to Canvas: Are you ready for the last exercise for today? Be ready for a challenge, actually. Because while definitely you can follow along with me also on this exercise, I would definitely recommend you also to make it your own. So how you do it First you will go in your garden or nearby and just do a photo of the first flower you met. So in my case, is this one. And we are going to do a more or let's say elaborate pattern starting from this or yours in your case. You can definitely apply and also reinterpret it. Let me move my iPad a little bit here so you can still see my mine. What I wanted to say is that let's try to reinterpret with this color palette and using the same brush that we already used in the previous exercise because we want to make something coherent, right? And maybe we'll be part of the same collection. I don't know. I'm just doing it right now with you. So we will open our file and then I can't hide the palette because I don't need it, but now it's time to open also the last section that we keep a secret until now. So you would go here and you can select this diamond here, and you can take it up if you like. You can leave it there, but I think taking up will make it easier for you. So close this one for now. We don't need it and the point is that this diamond will help you to remember that we need to start to draw our elements inside this party. You can go a little bit outside, but let's say, preferably try to stay inside. So I would go here in the draw here layer, and now I will select only for sketching pen. I will go in sketching and then six B pencil and I will start to do a general idea what to do. So most probably I will try to do something like I see that they are from different say dimension, almost the same but some of them are different. Maybe some are in flip on the side. So most probably I'm not here teach you composition, okay? And also doing pretty fast. So I might just do something to mark my ideas like this. No, I don't know. Maybe I would do something like that. Maybe I will move this one here, I can do sultry here. I don't know. I'm really experimenting. And once I'm pretty happy, I will just go here and reduce the opacity of this layer, and I will start a new layer. And maybe I will try now to give an idea of the leaves. I know that the real leaves of this plant is this one larger, but I also like the interference of another plant. I think these two are competing for the space in my garden. It really depends on you. If you want to do large leaf that maybe we go also below the layer. This one is really up to you. Okay? We're not here talking about the composition. I just wanted to show you how we can make the pattern. So I might do something like that. And now I will take also this one layer down, and I will add a new layer where I will start to do, let's say, a better sketch, but directly with the color that I want to do. They don't have to be this one, actually. They will be our color, the one that we already choose. So let's say that I will go maybe again with the fierce red. And just to know exactly how it will be. So most probably I will go with this shape. This one is like the second layer. And also like the fact that there is a star also in the middle here. This one is just to understand the composition, right? And then we will put the color. Like this sem This one is more like on the side, so I put doesn't have to be perfect for me. Like this. And then here, there's one. That I think I was considering it was k here. This in here. Like that. Okay, good for me. Then I will try to add directly, let's say, the green part. I will add a new layer, and I will take the blue in this case, and I do like this, maybe they will not be exactly the same. We are the artist, so we can do our thing, right? So I would do like this. We can leave also, let's say, more space around it. We don't have to fill it all, but if you want, you can, obviously. So this one is really up to you, okay? But we don't have to fill all. And I feel like we missed something here. Okay. So is already two. So maybe I will go like this. Just want the scenes too much in the same way so I do this. Okay. And now I will just remove the sketch layer to get a better idea. I think it's okay. It's okay. And then when we did like this one, we can already try to finish the sketcher of the full pattern by selecting everything we did. If you want, you can leave also the original sketcher, group it. I would do a duplicator just to be sure that I'm fine. End up with a the one above, I will do the same process as usual. I would select it, Save and ode get to the number one. I'm not sure if you select it. Yes, it's here. As you can see, the number one here is in a ter position because I think that we turn our design a little bit. And while I will do horizontal and vertical again, and it will work. So it doesn't matter if you see it in a router position. Now I can go select number two, and then this one, select number three. Select number four. This one. Okay. But I wanted to show you that if you prefer visual to know which selection, you can go in again this part here and you can just turn it on. So this 10, now we cannot see it because there is this one covering, but if you uncover this part you will see that number one was here. Okay? Number two was this one, number three was this one, number four is this one. So you don't need it, but just if you want to be super sure about which section is which one, you can just check it in this way. So basically now, we know that we have to draw inside this diamond here. So what we can do, actually, I want to show you a Shurga. It's like, you can draw again inside here. But you can also, for example, go in the one that you save as a backup, say, I will duplicate again. And this one feel a little bit like cheating, but I can still keep it here and move it here to fill it. And then if I want, I could go here and let's say, select an area like this and just Oh, I select one? Sorry. Wait, yes, I was selecting just this one. I would select both of them, and then I will deactivate for the moment snapping and magnetics, and I can reposition it in the parts that I want. And of course, you don't have to do all, but you say, if you don't want to redraw for zero, again, you can just then come here and modify and update according to this one. For example, here, I would just maybe move this leaf more and decide. Maybe I would even add the one here now one here now. And then also here, I think we need more I could have one here and one here. As I told you before, we are not doing here, the best pattern is just an exercise, but I think it gives a idea of how to proceed. Now if you wanted to have a big picture before proceeding with the final sketch and the final inking, you can deactivate the diamond and we can do as usual. We can copy all, go here on the top, paste it there, and then resize it. 1,000 501,500. 1,500. 1,500. And 1,500. And by looking at this one, I see that maybe I would go back to make maybe this one a little bit bigger. But, I mean, in general, I think it's fine. I'm trying to see it also smaller. And then I will enlarge it to get an idea. But I think that for this example is fine to show you how we were ready able to test our design in progreta to make the final pattern. And then I will collapse it, keep it like this. And by the way, you can also mark it if you want. So let's say that I think the part that I'm not very convinced was around this part here. So around this flower here, they're so similar and it will be difficult to find it. I think it's this one here. He me chuck. Well, Okay. I have to confess it. I don't have time now to do it because I don't want to keep your precious dimer. Always because most probably this one is specific of my pattern right now. So I will just now try to speed up the inking process and finish this pattern to make it coherent with the first one. Let's try. This one is a challenge, too. So now, I think that actually I will just copy again, copy all and then I will keep the sketch like another layer. I will paste this one and I can make everything disappear, and then I will use the white or actually, maybe I can use directly the color that I want. So maybe I will make them they could this magenta it with the magenta. Sorry. I will take the magenta here. Obviously, you don't see it because this one is a flat layer with white. So yeah, okay, so this one was not a good idea for this specific to show you the color. What I would do is I will take this one here, open it up, take away the base. And then I would just flatten it. You can do it by this or you can come here and say flatten. That's all. Then I will take this one above the layer with the background that I want to work with, and I can even put it on multiply so I can see it. And then I'm ready to work. So let's say that maybe I still want to do the outline. So I will go if you want to proceed with the outline, I will go back in calligraphy and the monoline that I used to use in the utter project, and I might start to do actually, it's like this one. Oh, you wanted to go in a noted layer, obviously. And I'm going to do some more positive. And then I'm in the layer for drawing, and I'm ready to go. And again, it doesn't have to be perfect, has to be your idea of your bold pattern. Remember that you don't want to work on the one that are touching the border. You're just working on the one that are not touching the border. I really don't like this part of the monoline. So to be honest, I think I'm going to use directly also my monoline version, the one that isn't finding the resources. Oh, no, because I put the streamline. Okay, no. Let's go with the monoline. I's okay. The Let's see how many else will I use. I really don't like this part here, but you can fix it later on with more time. And actually, maybe I will now speed line this part because it's just basically the drawing. Okay, and this one is smart. The important is that remember that you want to close everything if we wanted to use the same reference system to color super fast, right? And then I think I would do in another layer the leaves directly. No, I don't touch this one too much the design. Ts. I'm just making sure that I'm touching all the lines to do not leave any open loop for to technique are not a problem, but at least for the color, I want to really speed up my process. So I do want to use the reference to color super fast. Okay, I think that for this one, I'm done. So what I would do is coloring directly in this case, because we already for example you see, this one is open, so Oops. You want to close it. And if everything is closed or everything is as you like it, let me see also here. This one is the one. It's here. This one I don't like it so much. It's also very human hand done. People might simply realize that this one is not AI generated. So you might want it to keep it as this one. It's okay. But it's up to you. Okay, what I want to do now is since I'm happy, usually, I would do a backup, but now we're ready, I will just pinch them, and I will use it as a reference. I put here a reference, and then I will do another layer here, and I will add to the color. Specifically, I think I will use the yellow here. I can click F to continue color filling, and then Took. Come on, here and here, super fun. Ready. And then I will open a new layer, and I will do the leaves with the blue. Ready? Oh, I have to do the color filling one time, cool activated, and then I'm ready to go. Oh, this one was not close. This one was not close. I have to go back. And, I think it's really bold. I like it. So let me go back to the reference layer. Let me take the black. Come here. Oops. Eraser. And then I'm done. So I will go here. Blue. I like this. Okay, cool. So now I will remove the reference from here because I know that I will do something else. And I will just be sure to select all the layer here, make it a group, do a backup if you like, and if you're facing your art disk, and then we are ready to go for the usual procedure. I will go here, select Save and load, selection one. I think I get it. Now one is here. Okay. Then two. Three, and four. We are now ready to continue to this layer here with a black outline. First up. As usual, I would prefer first to go with another layer and then collapse them then work directly on the one that is, let's say, done. So let me do it here. Ready Let me flower here. I hope you can see. Obviously, I'm not following so much my previous sketcher, but it's more for the position. It's okay. It's okay to go really especially in this theme of doing something bold and energetic and something like this. I think also the stroke will really communicate to this. I think we are done with the flower. Again, I will do another layer for the leaves just to be sure that I can dig. I can modify them if I need them. Is this one maybe the one that I was supposed to do bicker? I decide Smith. Maybe ten. And I will try to go also. Think a date now. It's like in my brain, I'm remembering that there was a parson that was needing more filling with the leaf. So I'm just doing it randomly, to be honest. It's okay. I think it will be fine. Oh, this one, for example, is something that I was supposed to do in the ter one and I missed it. Hopefully it will not be a problem. But this one is something that I miss in the ter phase. Okay. In general, we didn't over cross. So this one is the only one that is crossing more Menser, I think we're done. This one is open, so we have to close it. You can fix anything that you left around. You Wa tattoo. So this one is open. The important is that, again, for this technique, I personally need to close everything. Otherwise, my color filling with reference will not work. And I think I'm fine. I'm fine as it is. I'm ready to go. I would just collapse everything, and I'm ready to make it again as a reference and the color filling. So I will select my yellow. I will go back directly to the yellow layer and drag the color, select color filling and continuing. Cool. Then I will select the blue. And then go Oh, sorry. Continue color filling, and then we Duck. It's very satisfying to color in this way. Okay, to be honest, I think I'm done. So what I would do is now I can deselect the original Skecha. I think it's bold florals. Obviously, if you want, you could even add the centre of the flower with a noted color. Let me check just how it would be. I think that for my limited per palette, I don't need to change if I'm using the magenta, I don't need the Firs rider to be there. So this one is really depending on you. What I just wanted to show you is that the tile is done, so I can export it. So I will export it as a jet Bag, save as image. I can also proceed with the phase that we did previously with the one element pattern. So I can do colorways, so I will make all these one like an Alpha ok and then I can change the color. I can use the same way also to do the scales that I can procta. What I will do right now is simply like a faster testing. So I will just copy all again and then go above. This one is much fast testing in procreate. You can do it in different ways with different software, whatever. I tend to just do it in procreate because it's so easy and it's so fast. And again, when I really like it after I do this fast testing, I will also be able to do directly for example a scale or different color ways as I showed you before. So the point is that for me, this pattern is bold. Maybe if I would have more time, I would have maybe add some more details on the yellow part. But Still I really like it. I think it's cool. And I think also that I think that one it's not a mistake, but something that I would do differently is on the idea of leverage our water, I would maybe not collapse in the final outline sketch. This one here, the leaves with the flower because oh, it's also cool without the outline. But let's say, with the outline, I cannot separate them. I'm able, actually, for example, to also save and applaud just the outline again, and I think it's cool. Let's put it also there. But I'm not able to separate this. While if I would have separate the out, I would be able also to say also even just to applaud the flowers, right. So actually, I can also maybe use this one and see how it will ate the pun flower. So the point is that in procret when I'm experimenting in this way, I always get a new idea, what I want to upload, maybe not exactly in this collection, but it's still triggering my brain to even do more and more. So I hope this one really show you how much you can do with just one idea and a limited color palette of basically four colors. Write them? So the last part that I wanted to show you about specifically this pattern that we created together, is how I will upload them directly from the iPad to Spoonflower. So I see you in the next part. 9. Wrap-Up: Upload to Spoonflower & What’s Next: Wow, congratulations. We reached the end of this class. But before concluding, I just wanted to show you how you can upload the pattern that we just did together in Spoonflower. So if you go to my blog, actually, I also put some links that you want to take into account if you're going to participate to spoonflower challenges or in general, if you want to keep in touch here in the bondar you will find the logo of Spoonflower. And by going here, you will be updated about the challenge, the current one, the one that you can vote, and the one that are happening. Then assuming that you are already logging in spring flower to upload your design, you will just have to go here and push upload the design. Then you will choose a file. And for example, in this specific case data in the photo library. So I will go here and you can select up to ten. Say I will select this eight here and I will add them. You will agree, you can add up to ten at a time. Usually, I do this process on my computer to optimize really also the uploading process. So if you wanted to know more about this one, again, stay updated also on future classes, but I just wanted to show you that literally you can do everything on your iPad. So once you're here, I would suggest to push Edit design new tabs. So all of them, but you can just upload also just one. We'll spread out the browser. And then you will be able to edit type of description and tags here. You will be able to add a collection and save all this information. And about this specific thing, I want also to remind you that if you go to the blog on the resources, you will find also for this specific both the floral, a lot of useful information. So if you go to the joint part, you can find according to the different challenge, different support and the sources. And in particular here, you will be able to see five use cases and keywords for search optimization that you can reuse them according to your preferences. I also usually provide three example idea where I go even deeper in one example. Again, feel free to reuse them Ethoen provided in the resources for your own entry, Is pin flour or in general for any plot that you want to put in spoon flour. And if you want also extra, ideas and so on. You can also navigate the Pinterest board, create, and there are a lot of useful link. And here there is for example, my entry. When you enter your challenge or your design is Spoonflower, I will also love to see it. And if you like, also maybe add it to the collective collection with talent artists. And some of them. I bet I already here. So let's go back now to here because I wanted to show you what's important to do. So I'm not going right now to talk about tanto description in tags because this one are really related to your pattern. But if you go in spoonflower and you click on Mine, you can check, for example, the work that I did on this part, and still, I'm referring you to other classes that I have to get really effective on this topic. SEO words are really like another one of my questions with pattern. So feel free to go there and please let me know if there are additional questions. What is important that a pattern to be on S in a platform Spoonflower has to be proved. And to prove you have to click here. You will start. And here you will see how it will look as a repeat button. Of course, it will change according to the scale that you're adding there, and we might have also extra resources on this one. But now I just want to tell you that what you want to do is come here, then select this button to double check that the pattern is not having any problem, but if you follow this class, I'm sure you will not. And yes, that's all. Again, I hope to stay in touch. You will definitely find all my contacts in the references of this class. And please come back and revisit not just for challenges, but in general, each time you wanted to refresh how to do a button and a specifically, flou that I think is an evergreen, right, then. So keep me puffed. I would love to see what you're treating this class. I hope you had fun, and I'll see you soon. Oh, and I forgot to say. If some of your friends will benefit from this class, please, remind them to see the class too. I cannot wait to see what you're going to create in the project. They will really light up my day, so you can tag me at Jump Solution in Instagram. You will find all my contact. Remember that in the blog poster, I will also add the extra resources. Feel free to use my material and tips about SEO words. And please also leave a review and let me know if there is anything I wish list that you would like to see soon. Hope that this class empower you to just go outside take inspiration and make them free when you're doing pattern. You can do it. Now you have everything to create in prograt. Remember that this one is the first step of the big picture because you do need also to put effective title description in tags to make them visible. You do need also to promote your creation if you want people to be able to see it. But I think that by designing and creating, you will really train this muscle memory in your hands in your brain to create even pieces that will be more appealing. And by being resilient and showing up, you will see that the result will start to come up. So stay effectively productive. But what is more important, stay creative and see you next time. Bye.
