Create a Pumpkin Vines Pattern in Procreate

1. Intro: Hey, I'm Maja Faber. And in this class, I'm going to teach you how to create this beautiful Pumpkin Vines Pattern in procreate. You will learn how to work with in depth sketches and how to draw and refine your design with only two brushes, making it easy to add subtle yummy texture to your motifs. We will also explore how to layer your motifs, add blend mode to textures, and recolor your patterns. Don't worry if this seems complicated. I will show you how to create these rather intricate patterns with a simple step by step method. As a bonus, you receive free resources, including two procreate brushes and one procreate color palette. Let's have some fun and create this stunning Pumpkin wines pattern together in Procreate. Join me in this class, and let's get started. 2. Your Project: Project in this class is to create the Pumpkin Vines pattern in Procreate, following the instructions that I give you in class. Please do share your project here in class. I would love to see what you create. 3. Canvas and Pattern Template Setup: So, the very first thing that we will do in this class is to start a new canvas. Usually, in the classes that I created recently, we are using the Pattern perfect template. But in this class, I wanted to teach you how to create a rectangular pattern, and the pattern perfect template is a square pattern. So then we will create a completely new template ourselves, and I will actually also include this template as a free download, but I just wanted to show you in class how to create this for yourself because maybe you want to use another size of Canvas to me in the future, and then you need to be able to create these templates for yourself. So let's start by tapping the plus in the top right corner in Procreate to create a new Cavas and here you tap the little folder symbol with a plus, which is new cavas. In the dimensions, we will go for a rectangular pattern. So I would use 3,000 pixels in width and 4,000 pixels in height. The DPI is set to 300 for high resolution, and for me, that would give me 152 maximum layers. You might have less amount of layers, and that's completely fine. It depends on the storage of your iPad. So then we will tap color profile and just make sure that we have the first SRGB color profile that is shown under display Pt. So SRDB this one over here. And then we tap crate. So now we have our canvas, and what we need to do is to create our pattern action. To do this, I will grab my color palette and pull it out on my Canvas here, and I have downloaded the Pumpkin Vines color palette. For this purpose, when we're creating this paten action, you can use any colors, but I will use the Pumpkin Vines color palette. That is included as a free download in class. I will just choose a color. I have the orange color selected and I will just tap and drag to fill my whole Canvas with that color. Next, I will tap the plus in Layers panel to add a new layer and I will select a new color, tap and drag to fill the layer with that color. Tap the plus to add a new layer. And choose a new color, tap and drag to fill that layer with a new color. Tap the plaster to add a new layer, and here I will choose a fourth color and tap and drag. So now I have one, two, three, four layers that is filled with colors. The next thing that I will do, I can just shut down the color palette over there is that I will tap my layers panel, tap on the first layer, tap the transform tool, which is the arrow that you see over here, tap in the top left corner, and I will continue to have the chain symbol tapped in. So you should notice that that is blue, and then I will write in half of the size in this first box that says 3,000. So type in 1,500. And that will bring me fourth of the size of the canvas. It's actually half of the size of the canvas, but it will be divided into four boxes, and it is perfectly aligned to the top left corner of my canvas. Then I will just tap the layers panel, tap the next layer, tap the transform tool, tap in the top right corner node, and type in 1,500 pixels. Taped layers panel. The next layer, which is the green one for me, I will just zoom out a bit so that I can see my cornondes and then I will tap in the bottom left cornonde, type in 1,500 and tap the layers panel and tap the last layer, which is orange one for me, tap in the bottom right cornond and type in 1,500. Now I have four boxes that are perfectly aligned to the edges of my canvas. And this is really important to avoid getting those nasty white lines in your patterns. The next thing that I would do is to select, for example, the layer number four, which is this one over here. I will tap the layer, tap Select, and then that will bring me up the selections tool. When I have the selections tool selected, I will tap Save a load and the plus to save the selection as selection one. Next, I will tap the layers panel again, tap the next layer, select, save and load the plus, and I will save that to selection two. Tap the layers panel again, the next layer, select, save and load the plus. To save that box as selection number three, tap the layers panel again, tap the fourth layer, which is the orange one for me, tap, select, save and load the plus. And now I have saved all of these four selections. Then I will just untap the selections tool, and now I have these four selections saved in the selection tool so that we can use it as a pattern action when we start to create our 4. Finding Inspiration: So the very first thing that we will do is to find inspiration. I will simplify the shape of the pumpkin and the leaves and the vines in this pattern. So I will try to use photos and then simplify the shapes. So I will go to Pinterest and I have searched for Pumpkin photo on Pinterest. I don't feel that Pinterest is amazing all the time when it comes to searching photos, but it usually works to find some inspiration. So let's just screenshot some pumpkins. I like this one, the fat one over there. So I can just screenshot that one. I like this one as well. And this one is a little bit simpler. So I'm just taking screenshots of the pumpkin shapes that I like. I want pumpkins that are shown from the side, so these ones are really good and some that are a little bit, like blobby, bubbly. I don't know what it's called, but you can see the shapes of the pumpkin a little bit in the sides of them. And yeah, I think that maybe we have enough pumpkins now. Yeah. So let's just try to see if we can find some leaves as well. The vines, I think will be kind of easy. We will just draw some lines. But let's just write Pumpkin leaf photo, maybe, and see if we can find something. Nothing on that one. Yeah, there. So as I mentioned, it's not always very good with photos as inspiration on Pinter. Sometimes you don't find everything, or you find it, but you need to search for it a lot, and sometimes you only find one photo like we do here. But that's fine because we will just use this as an inspiration to kind of get the main shape of the leaf, and then we will simplify the shape. So in the next lesson, I will show you how to sketch these motifs. 5. Sketching the Motifs: So now we have our inspiration images. So let's head back to Procreate again. When you screenshot an image, it ends up in the photos library. So you know that if you're not used to screenshotting, so I will tap Procreate to start up Procreate again. And here we will just delete all of these four layers because we don't need those anymore with the four squares. If you would want to keep this as a template, before you create something with it, you can just tap gallery, and I will just write pattern, template, and oops. And for what was it? 3,000 times 4,000 pixels. And then I will tap Select and duplicate. So that is how you can create your own pattern templates that you can use. So I will include one of these in class so that you can just start from that one. So just tap into one of those again, and now we want to sketch our motifs. What I will do is that I will tap the three little dots over here, split view, and I will tap my Photos app. Here I have five photos. I will select my four photos with the pumpkins and the one with the leaves, and then I will just tap and drag until I see that little green plus sign in procreate and import the photos in procreate. So now I have all of these, and I will just turn those down so that I have one at a time. Now I will just start to sketch these pumpkins and I will actually create a new layer on top here, and then I will actually just trace on the image. And that is to make it easy to get the shape of the pumpkin that I want. This shape will change over and over again as we create new sketches and the pattern, the final pattern. So don't worry about copying the photo because this is just the starting phase, and it's just to show you how you can keep it really simple to get the shapes of an object quickly. So I will use the so let's use the perfect pencil from the pattern elements. You can use any sketching brush that you want to. But I'm going to use that one. And on that layer, the new layer, and with black as the color, I will just zoom in here and kind of just sketch out the shape a little bit. I'm trying to guess where I would see some blows because I want that to show So I can do those little floppy shapes even more than they are on the photo. Maybe something like that. I'm not sure that I like this one. So I would try to sketch some different pumpkins to see how I like them. So that is that one and I can turn that one off. It's okay, but I need to really refine that sketch before I would be happy with it. Then I can turn on another one, and I can just rearrange that to maybe over here. And on this one, I will tap the end and just drag down opacity bit because the image was so dark, so I don't know if I would have seen what I'm drawing on top. And then I will tap my sketch layer, and here I will draw the little stick like that and the shapes like this. So as you can see, the sketch is rather rough. But I want to quickly make the shape so that it looks like a pumpkin and then I can refine it later on. I will also need to kind of change the sketch after the style that I'm creating in my pattern. Next, I will turn on the next pumpkin, and you don't need to draw this many. I'm just going to because I want to see which one of them I like the most. I'm going to try this one now. And on the sketch layer that I'm actually going to name sketch motifs. I am going to draw this one, so maybe even more simple something like that, maybe. Turn that image off and just complete that sketch over there. That one was cute, and then the next one. Yeah, I like that one too. I'm going to sketch, I think, four pumpkins to see which one of these I like. Then just tap the end to drag down the opacity of that one, tap the sketch layer, and draw the pumpkin here. Oops, I'm on the wrong layer, tap the sketch layer. That one is actually going in that direction. Yeah. Maybe can, maybe I want to have it like that or maybe I don't. It depends on what will happen when I'm drawing the vines and the leaves later on. Okay, so now I have kind of the basic shape of that pumpkin. Maybe I want to erase a little bit of that one over there. Okay, something like that, and then turn that image off. And the next I want the leaf. So I will just move my sketches up here and draw the leaf down there. So I will turn on the leaf photo. It down a little bit. This is just a sketch so we can scale up and down how much we want to and then tap the end symbol on that layer to drag down the opacity, and then I want to draw the leaf. So I think that I want to have, let's just do the shape of the leaf first. I think that I want to do a simplified version of this. So as you can see, instead of one, two, three, four, five, I'm just doing three. But I don't think drawing police will be angry with me because I'm not drawing very realistic. I really enjoy simplifying my shapes. So this is good and then maybe some things like that, and then turn off that layer. Yeah, so I really like that shape. I might need to refine it a little bit later on. Maybe I want to do that now, so I can just duplicate it. I will select that one, copy and paste, then I have the new one on a new layer. I will just add it here and try to draw it in a different direction, maybe, like that to see how that will look. And then I will tap the end symbol drag down opacity to really low, actually, around 15%. And oops, I don't need a new layer. I can tap the sketch motifs layer on top. And then just draw a little bit more refined sketch of this leaf to see if I like the shape of it or if I need to, like, redo it. And then I can delete the layer beneath with that single one. Oops, and on the sketch Motif layer. I can just refine the sketch a little bit. We will do this later on as well, but as we only had one inspiration image for the leaf, I just wanted to see that I really like the shape that I got here from the leaf. So I did, and now I'm happy with how this looks. So let's move on to the next lesson where we will sketch the 6. Sketching the Pattern Draft: So we have our sketch layer with motifs. I will select all of the image layers and just delete that one. And here we have a layer with nothing in it. So I will tap and drag that layer above or create a new layer by tapping the plus. And here I will just rename to sketch Pattern. And let's just name it to sketch pattern draft or whatever, sketch Pattern one. So sketch pattern draft or sketch Pattern one or something like that. I will turn off the motifs layer with the sketch. And on this pattern, sketch Pattern draft, I want to start sketching out the motifs because we are creating a pattern that will have vines going down and they need to match up in the edges, and you also need to get a good flow in the pattern. So how I will do that is to first turn on the drawing guide. So tap the actions panel, tap Canvas, drawing guide, edit drawing guide, and you can have your drawing guide set to anything here, any size, I mean, but I have two degree. And as I know that the width of my canvas is 3,000 pixels. I might go for 300 just to make it easy. That looks fine for me because then I know that all squares are equally sized, so that I should have ten squares, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. So that's good. You can go for 300 or half of 300 or 600 or whatever, but it's good that you have an equal amount of squares and that it's divided by ten. I'm not very good at math, but you understand what I mean, right? Then tap done. And here we have our grid. What I want to do now is that I will take my sketch brush again, the perfect pencil from the pattern elements or any type of brush that you want to sketch with. And then I want to draw some vines going down. And I will show you how to do this the simplest possible way. So you've seen these really intricate patterns, the William Morris patterns, where you have like vines and branches and leaves going around each other and meeting up and anything like that. You can make those patterns as complicated as you want to, and they can be really, really interesting when you get this really complex look where they just kind of flow into each other, the vines and the branches and everything. But if you want to create that type of pattern, but not spend months and months or I don't know how long it would take to create that type of complex pattern, at least a few weeks maybe, then I want to show you the simplest way that I know to create this type of pattern. So I'm all about simplifying and making it easy for you to create fun and interesting and really beautiful patterns. So what I will do is that I will start with the box number three over here and number three over there. So then I know that I have an equal amount. So you have four in the middle and then three on each side. So what I want to do then is just to get a flowing feel to a line that I will draw. That will be the lines or the branches or whatever you're drawing that I want to meet up. I want to get this really nice flow in the pattern. I will show you how to do it. The first one, we want to go. I'm just going to do it quickly now to show you. We wanted to go in and then out and then in again and then out. The second one, we want to go in, but a little bit less, not as much bend on that one. So in out in and then out again. So something like that. So then I'm going to do this now a little bit more detail. So I'm going to start on this one and end on this one. That's the most important thing. So I'm going in and out and in again, and I want to end up here. So we will fix this later on, but you want it to be as close as possible. You don't want to end up here because then the pattern won't meet up. And with the other one, I want to go in, but a little not as deep curve on that one, out and in and out again. So then you get a really nice flow. You have one that's moving a lot like whoa. And then one that's a little bit more soft in the flow. So this is the simplest way to create those patterns where you have like branches or vines or that meat up at edges. Now I would just go in and just erase this to not get confused. So, something like that. And we will fix the edges. We will actually create the pattern of the sketch first because with these types of patterns, it's harder to kind of redraw them afterwards. So then we want to know that we are doing as much as possible right from the start. Okay, so now we have the two vines on the sketch pattern draft. And then we want to add some pumpkins and some vines. You can do this with any flowers, any plants or whatever. So what I will do is just to kind of go up here with a little branch. I could actually do this on a new layer, and then I can merge those layers. But if I do it on a new layer, I have my two vines there, so I don't need to mess with those, and then I can just add a new layer. I don't need to name that one, but I will just draw the pumpkins there and the leaves. So there I could have a pumpkin, for example, and I want to spread out the pumpkins and I want it to be like flowing. So I'm doing a rough sketch where I'm just creating pumpkins from circles. And then I will also add leaves as triangles all in sort of flowing motion. I don't want it to go out to the edge. So let's just do, no, I don't like that. I'm going to continue that there, maybe something like that. And then it would probably look good with something with a pumpkin over here, maybe. So I'm trying to get this flow like to find the flow in the vines and just drag it up to a little branch or whatever you call it, and add a pumpkin over there. So the next step is to add some leaves, and I will just start by adding something maybe over here, and I will add triangles like that maybe. And one over there maybe needs to be repeated on the other side. We will see about that, or maybe this one is too wavy. Yeah, I can see now that this is going a little bit too far out. I want it to go a little bit smoother. I will actually go into the pattern draft again and just smoothen out that line a little bit so that I can fit the leaf over here. So I'm just adjusting as we go, and then I go into the new layer again and maybe add a leaf over there. And the next I want to add maybe over here. Might be nice to have like one leaf like that, something like that, and one leaf maybe like that. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the overlapping part, but let's just fix that later on. And maybe we want hoops. What happened there? Maybe we want this to go down a little bit like that. I'm using 44% in brush size because I want this rather thick lined sketch. Okay, so something like that. And then let's move on to the next one. I think we have a little area there that could do a leaf and then maybe something there. And moving on, should we do one over there and maybe one over there and maybe last one up here. So I'm trying to fill the gaps and trying to get a good flow in the pattern. We can always change this later on, but it's good to have a start, at least. Okay, so that is the first part of the pattern sketch, and then I will tap the layer three and just merge down so that I have everything on the sketch pattern draft. Okay, so now we have the first sketch of the pattern draft. We need to repeat it to see how it looks, and we also need to actually add the sketches of the pumpkin and everything. But we will do that in the next lesson. 7. Sketching the Final Pattern: So now it's time to sketch our final pattern. So with this pattern, it's all about sketching and figuring out if your pattern works before we start to draw the actual motifs with our brushes and our textures and our colors. So this is the way to go to get these types of patterns to look right and look good. So starting with the sketch, I will tap the end symbol and drag down the opacit to maybe around 24%. And then I will tap to add a new layer on top. We can just name this tops sketch final pattern maybe, or sketch two or whatever you want. I will keep the little lines there, the guidelines to start with so that I can see that the lines that I draw for the vines are in the right position. So on my new sketch layer, I will use the perfect pencil again, which is in the Pattern elements brush set that you can download. I will include it in the downloads lesson here in the class, a link to where you can download, the Pattern elements brush set. Then we will go ahead and start to sketch. I can actually bring down opacity a little bit more on the sketch, I think, maybe to around 15%. I hope that you can see that on screen. You should be able to see it on screen. Okay. With the perfect pencil, I will start with the vines. I will just add those. Oops. I have around 44%, and I will just draw the vines like that. And the next one, maybe I even want a larger brush for this. Let's go for around 60%, maybe. Let's try that out. I will save the size. Yeah, that's good. And then I will draw the vines. So now I'm refining the sketch, so I'm trying to get it as right as possible there. Where the pattern meets up here at the edges and also the shapes of the vines that I want to have. I can see here that I didn't go completely right down there. So I will start there on the line on the drawing guide and then go up. It's still a sketch, so it doesn't need to be completely perfect, but now we're refining our sketch. So I want to be I want it to be a little bit less messy than the first pattern draft sketch. Moving on, I now want to add my pumpkins and my leaves. So what I do then is that I turn on my sketch motifs, and I can just drag that on top, turn off the sketch final pattern, and let's see. I think that the drawing guides are a little bit in the way now, so I will just turn off the drawing guides, tap the actions panel, Canvas, turn off the drawing guides, and here I can choose which pumpkins that I want to go forward with. I think that I want to use this one. I think that it has a good flow to it. I will actually use one of the pumpkins and repeat it. You can use several different, but I want to keep it as simple as possible. So I want to go for this one. On that layer, I will tap the selection tool and drag around the selection with free hand selected and then tap copy and paste. Oops, I had the wrong layer selected. Sorry for that. I need to have the sketch motifs layer selected, tap and drag around the motif, tap the little gray dot to close the selection and tap copy and paste. Now I have the pumpkin. If I turn off the motifs, I have the pumpkin over here. So I can just rename this to Pumpkin so that I know what my layers are. And then on the sketch motifs again, I want to add a leaf and I will just use this one. Then I can select it with the selection tool, tap and drag free hand around the object, tap the gray dot to close the selection, tap copy paste, and here I have my leaf. Then I can turn off the sketch motifs. I'm going to use those two. I would just drag that one down again, the layer, and turn on the visibility of the sketch final pattern, and I also have the sketch pattern draft over here. Then I have my pumpkin and my leaf. So what I will do next is that I will turn off the leaf to start with and start with the pumpkin. So with the pumpkin layer selected, I will tap the transform tool and place the pumpkin on the first place that I added a pumpkin over there. And then I will swipe the right to duplicate the pumpkin layer and tap and drag it to the other position. Maybe I need to flip it horizontal and drag it over there. I will adjust this later on, but now I just want to place them, and then I will duplicate that one. At this point, you don't need to worry at all about resolution if you resize and rotate and anything like that because this is just a sketch. You can resize this however you want, and it won't affect your final pattern when it comes to resolution. I'm just trying to get a good flow with the pumpkins here so that they move in a good flow around the pattern. And I don't want them to go outside of the edges. Then I will duplicate that pumpkin again, the layer, tap the transform too, and I don't want them in the exact same direction, but I want to twist it up a little bit. Maybe you can twist it like that or like that. I will twist it like that. Then it feels like that pumpkin is a little bit too similar to that one. Maybe I can twist that one up even more. I'm not sure. Let's see how that works. Okay, so then I want to just merge these layers together. So I have four pumpkin layers. I can just swipe down to merge them like this, or I can tap the layer and tap merge down three times to get all of the pumpkins on one layer. The next thing that I want to do is just to add some kind of branches that go out to the pumpkins. And I will do that on the pumpkin layer. So I will tap the brushes and use the perfect pencil. And now I just want to kind of add a little branch there that goes out to that pumpkin. So maybe something like that. I'm thinking that the pumpkin has maybe a little darker thing there and it goes in, so I can even erase a little bit there. And I want to get a good flow in the little vine, part of the vine, the branch that goes out there like that. And then the next one, if I make that square, in the end, it might be easier, and I want to get a good direction of that kind of twirl there. So something like that. I'm just filling them in with black so that I can see easier if it looks good. I think that looks good to me. And then I see that this one is actually pointing a little bit in the wrong direction, I think. I want the vine. So now I'm starting with the vine instead of with the pumpkin and erase a bit of that pumpkin part over there, and I can just adjust the direction of that over there. So that looks good. And this one. Same here. Maybe I want to start with the branch that goes out and just include the pumpkin in there. It's a little bit large, so just raise a little bit. So this is some just detailed work to get the pumpkins to have a good kind of flow to how they move up the vine. Okay, so the next step is to add the leaves. So then I will tap the leaf layer and I will just tap it like that. And I want to add the first leaf. Let's I don't know. Let's start with this one over there maybe. Maybe this one. And I can adjust the size. If I tap free form, I can even adjust and use this little yellow box there. You can adjust the selection around your object, and then you can adjust the shape of it. Maybe you want to do that. Again, this is just a sketch, so it's okay to adjust the shape of this leaf like this without losing resolution. Maybe a little bit smaller and even smaller maybe. Maybe try something like that. Then I will just duplicate the leaf layer, tap the transform tool, and I will drag it down there, flip horizontal and place it somewhere that I think looks good, maybe closer to that vine and I can adjust the size. I'm using freeform here because then all the leaves won't look exactly the same when I redraw them later on. And then I can go in and duplicate one of the leaf layers again. So I'm using the first one. It doesn't really matter which one you're using, and then I can just adjust it so that it goes. That looks pretty good, like that. And then again and I'm going to do this one at the bottom there, so fly horizontal. And I want that one to be, like, a little bit fatter maybe or a little bit longer. I'm not sure. Just trying it out to see what works in this position of the pattern. And then I'm going to duplicate the first leaf again. It's this one. Again, it doesn't matter which one you're duplicating. I just wanted that original shape for this one. And I'm adding it here, and I can adjust the size. Maybe I want it to be a little bit bigger here because we have a little bit more space there. So something like that, and then duplicating that one. Twisting it around and placing it over here. I think that might look really, really nice. And I can adjust the bounding box. Is that what it's called the selection around the leaf with yellow little box so that I can adjust the shape of it. Okay, so then I can duplicate the first leaf again. I hope that you don't run into a maximum amount of layers reached here. If you do, you can just merge the leaves. Or create your pattern on a smaller canvas. So here I want the branch to go out a little bit. I'm going to put one over there, and then I'm duplicating that one, and I want them all to be pointing a little bit down, so maybe something around there. And then again, duplicating that one and flipping horizontal, maybe adjusting the size a little bit and placing it over there. Okay, so let's see. Now we can just merge the leaves. I would just swipe down with all of the leaves. We have all of leaves on one layer, and then I will start to add the branches to the leaves. Now I can actually turn off the layer with the sketch. I can just drag up that one because I not really sure if I remember how I wanted it to look when I'm turning off the sketch. And then I can turn off the pattern draft sketch. And on the leaf layer, I can just add the branches. And what I'm doing here is that I'm trying to continue with kind of the flow of the branches. So they're going in the same what do you say direction or in the same they have the same vibe. Like, this one is going straight. I don't want that. I want it to go a little bit down like the other ones. We can also fix it in the final pattern, of course, but this is the final sketch, so I want to make sure that I'm doing it in a way that will at least be close to how I want the final pattern to look. And here, I can just do a little bit more curve in that one. Okay, so for me, this looks good. There's something a little bit strange over here. Maybe we can fix that later on. I'm not sure. Let's see. So this is our final pattern sketch. And in the next lesson, we will actually try it out as a pattern. 8. Test the Sketch: So now we have our pattern sketch, but we need to try out the pattern, and we also need to create the pattern out of this sketch so that the ends meet up. So what I would do is that I will add a new layer at the bottom, first, actually, of all, I will merge these layers together, so I will merge the pumpkin down, and then I will merge the leaf down to the sketch final pattern so that I have all the sketch on one layer. And then I will add a new layer and I will drag that beneath, and I will just fill it with white. I will just select white over there or in your color panel and just tap and fill that layer with white. The next thing that I will do is to select both of these layers and tap group so that I have the background and the sketch in one group. Then I will tap the group, tap the selections tool, and here you need to have free hand selected because if you have automatic or if you have automatic selected, it won't work, so you need to have free hand selected. As you can see, you get this little error message if you have automatic selected. That is a question that I get a lot of times. However, if you get any error message, you can just select both of the layers instead of the group. That works exactly the same. I just want to mention that, but I will select the group, tap selections, I have free hand selected. I don't have color fill selected, so that one should be white, and then I will tap Save a load selection four tap the transform tool, which is arrow, flip vertical and flip horizontal. Doesn't matter in which order you choose these selections. Then I will tap the selections tool again, save and load selection three, the transform tool, flip vertical and flip horizontal. I will tap the selections tool again to deselect and the selection tool once again, select selection two, tap flip vertical and flip horizontal. It also doesn't matter in which order you tap horizontal and vertical. You can tap flip horizontal and flip vertical or flip vertical, and flip horizontal. Then tap Save a load again, selection one, tap the Transform tool, flip vertical and flip horizontal. What I want to do now is just to twist this around. I will just turn my Canvas around, rotate it. That's the simplest way. Now we can see how this pattern is repeated. So as we can see, I think that it looks good. If you feel that it looks a little bit strange, you can tap the transform tool and flip horizontal. That way, it might look more as how you draw it. So now we can see how this looks. I will start with tapping the sketch final pattern here, and now I can go in and adjust some things. I would choose black as the color and with the perfect pencil again from the pattern elements, I will just go in here and make sure that these ends meet up there. Like that, we will need to do this when we create the final pattern as well. But I just want to see that the sketch is working fine. So I think that we might need to add a leaf as I can see it because we have a lot of empty space over here. So what I will do then is that I can just go in here. Or where should I add a leaf? Yeah, I think that I should add a leaf maybe over here. That would probably look good. Okay, so the sketch, I will just add a leaf over there. And as I don't have any leaf, now on a separate layer, I will tap the selections tool and I can just drag around one of these leaves, tap to close it on the gray dot, tap, copy and paste, and now I have a leaf from that selection that I can place over here. So then I can just adjust the leaf. I can adjust the bounding box around the object. If I want to change the size, I have free form selected, I can adjust the size of the leaf. I wanted to kind of fill up the space, but at the same time, I don't want this leaf to be super large and the other ones to be smaller. So it can be a little bit bigger but not too big. I don't want any place in my pattern to really stand out. I want the ice to move smoothly throughout the pattern. So that is why I want the leaves kind of the same size. So how does that look? I think that looks good. If we turn it around, how does it look? Yeah, I think that it looks okay, actually. Maybe it's a little bit too far out. I can select that leaf again. It's there, and I can just pull it in a little bit. Like that, maybe. Maybe that looks better. Then I can actually pull out that leaf, so then I fill that spot a little bit. I'm twisting the pattern around to see where do I have empty spaces that needs to be filled a little bit to make it look more balanced. I'll just merge these two, merge down. I have all in the sketch and then I will tap the selection tool and I will just drag around this leaf. And then I don't need to copy and paste. I can just tap the transform tool and drag it out a little bit, just a little bit and twist it around. And then add a new line there for the branch or the vine or whatever you say to go out to that leaf. Now, I think that this pattern looks good. It might be so that it feels like you have a space in the center here because nothing is actually overlapping. So what I could do is that I could just pull out this pumpkin. Let's try to do that. I don't know if you can see it on screen now, but the objects are kind of flowing into each other, but you can see a straight line here. And if you can see a line like this in a pattern that is supposed to be flowing, then it will be easier for the line to see where the repeat is. So I want to kind of just overlap something on that line so that I can see it as clearly. So I will just pull out the pumpkin. I will select the sketch layer, tap and drag to select around the pumpkin, tap the gray dot. Then I can just pull out the pumpkin a little bit to kind of make it overlap that line. Like that, I think that probably will look better, and then I will just add a little line there. That looks good. I do want this to be a little bit thicker, but I will fix that with the brush later on. And let's see how everything is. I think that something might be missing over here. But what I would do now is that I will swipe down with three fingers, tap copy all, swipe down with three fingers and tap paste, tap split screen, Safari, and then I go to the Pattern Tester on my website, which is linked to in the downloads and resources section in this class. And then I will tap and drag to place my pattern in there. And here I can just see if I have some empty space and I can instantly see that I have empty space over there. Then I just need to figure out where that is in the pattern. I could just easily add another leaf there, I think. Let's see where it is. It's probably over there by the double. Yeah, it's beneath the double leaves. Double leaves are going that way. So then I have empty space here. I might be able, I will just erase that image and go into the sketch. I might be able to just add a leaf here. That might work. And then I don't need to repeat it again. So I can just fetch a leaf, tap the selection tool, drag around the leaf, tap the gray dot, tap copy and paste. And here I have a new leaf that I can adjust the bounding box with a yellow little dot and I can just drag it up, tap free form, so I can change the size of it and rotate it a bit. Maybe like that will look good. And then I can adjust how it's connected with the vine. I think that probably look good. So let's swipe down with three fingers once again, tap, copy all and swipe down with your fingers, tap paste, and then tap spit screen and go into the paten tester again and drag in your image. And let's see. Yeah, I think that leaf filled out the space. So we might need to make some final adjustments. But for me, this looks good as a sketch, and now we will continue with drawing the motifs with 9. Draw the Vines: So now it's time to start to draw actual pattern with our brushes, our textures, and our colors. We need to try out this pattern later on as well and might need to adjust some things even after we made this sketch so throughly. But we have come a long way with our skit, so I think that we should come pretty close to final pattern when we're finished. So if you ended up with a little single leaf over there above the sketch final pattern, you can just merge the sketch layers together so that you have all of the sketches, the final pattern sketch in one layer. I did that off camera, and then I couldn't redo, so I couldn't show you that, but you can just merge all the layers together that has the final pattern sketch. I also have the sketch pattern draft and the sketch motifs. I want to note before we start that if you end up with reaching your layer limit, I would suggest to save the sketches in one file, and then you can just create a new file like I've done here, select the file and duplicate it and draw your pattern in one file. That way, you can delete your sketches as you don't need them anymore, but you might want to sketches for future use, so you can always save them in a separate file. Okay, so tapping in to one of these files. That was just a little tip before we get started. I never reach my lay limit anymore as I had a huge storage of 2 terabytes on my iPad, so I never reach my lay limit. But if you do, that is one tip on how to move forward from there. Okay, so the next step that we will do is to just tap in on the sketch final pattern, and I will just drag down the opacity on that one. So for this pattern, we will draw it in some colors. I will draw it in with a white background, and I think that I will draw the vines with some kind of, like, bluish color and the pumpkins in orange. But then later on in glass, I will show you how to change the colors of the pattern. So for now, we are using these colors, and then we will change it later on. You can use any colors you want to, of course. So we already have a background layer here. Let's just rename that to background. And then tap and drag out your color palette to your canvas so that you have the pumpkin vines color palette here. I will just adjust this to go with the cream white there in the color palette. So I will tap and drag to fill the background layer with cream white instead of the really bright white color. The next step is to add a new layer on top of the sketch final pattern. This one I will rename to Vines. Now, I'm not a native English speaker, so I'm not sure what part of this is called the vines, actually, or if any, is, but I'm calling it Vines. I think you understand what I mean. But when I'm talking about the vines, I'm talking about the larger branches that goes up there, and then we will add the leaves and the pumpkins. So I'm going to choose the vintage ink from the Pumpkin Vines brush set, and I am going to use this little purple, kind of dusty lavender purple color. And I'm not sure which brush size to use. Let's try with around 20% there. And I'm going to start to draw the actual vines. I want them to be thicker than the actual sketch. So maybe this is good. I'm not sure yet. I think that it looks good, but I think that I need to go down in the opacity here, so I will tap the sketch final pattern again and bring down the opacity to maybe just around 10%. I hope that you can see that on screen. Okay, I'm going to go up a little bit so you can see it on screen, around 15%, but you can go to as low as you want to so that you're not disturbed by the background sketch. And then I will tap and drag and draw. Let's try maybe around 12% in brush size. And I want to, like, push and let go, press and let go with the brush so that I get a little bit, like, uneven brush size. I'm not sure if that was good, or if that was too thin. Might be good. Let's try it out. And then I'm going to go in and draw the second vinee which is this one. Some kind of pushing and letting go and pushing and letting go to get this organic stroke. That aren't equally thick or thin around the stroke. Okay, so now I've created the vines. And what I need to do now is just to match them up. So I will tap the group, tap the selections tool, save a load, selection four, tap the transform tool, and I will just flip vertical, and then I will tap save a load, selection three, tap the transform tool, flip vertical. Save a load selection two, transform to flip vertical, save a load selection one, transform to and flip vertical. Now we can see that the ines aren't meeting up, so we need to go in and erase a little bit here. I will erase some parts so that I can get them to meet up without getting some strange edges there. And then I will use the vintage ink again. Maybe I should save that brush size. I'll tap the brush and tap the plus to save 12% there in brush size. And then I'll just try to make the meet up. I can fix the details by zooming in. As long as you can't see where the edge is, it's fine. So that looks good. And now I can see that I have some scruffy parts here that I will just raise. Swimming in so that I don't have any more of those. No, that looks good. Okay, so now I think that this looks fine. It's something with this little edge there. Yeah, that looks good. Okay, great. So now we have our vinees. So let's move on to the next lesson. 10. Draw the Pumpkins: Okay. So moving on to drawing the pumpkins, as I drew this pattern in the other direction, I will actually do that now as well. And as the pumpkins are, hopefully, if I turn this pattern around, will the pumpkins be in the center? I'm not sure. Okay, let's start like this and see what will happen. So I will add a new layer, and I will name this one Pumkins and use the orange color, the brown orange color, and the vintage ink. So now I will start to draw the part of the pumpkins that are the orange ones, and then we will connect it with the vines. So I will actually just draw like this. And then I will erase some parts of the pumpkin that I want to be like the inner parts of this little I don't know what you call it. The shape of the pumpkin. Okay, something like that. It doesn't matter that much at this part of the pumpkin as that branch or whatever goes there. So what I will do is that I will just fill in this with color with the orange color. So I will draw it in because that way we will get the awesome texture that this brush gives. So when you're drawing with this brush, you instantly get this kind of vintage texture, which I really love. It also saves a lot of time adding texture. You just get it instantly. So that's good. So filling it in like that. Mm. Okay, so maybe something like that. And then I want to add the sketch on top, so I will just tap and drag to drag the sketch on top. And on the pumpkin layer, I will tap and hold with the eraser tool so that I will erase with the vintage ink brush as well. And then I can go after the sketch here, but I also want to go after the blobs. You can see where the blobs, I don't know what to call them that they go down like that. So first, I will just do like a rougher sketch maybe something like that, and then that one goes in. And then we can adjust the edges later on. That one goes in like that. So what I'm doing is just to meet up this inner part here with the top. And on the top, you will get this little thing that goes in the center. So it's not super important how it looks over here. But I'm trying to get a good flow and a good movement in this. Lines. So we're actually erasing parts of the motif now, you can also add white parts, but I know that in this pattern, I always want the background to be showing underneath these pumpkins. So then I know that I want to erase. With this brush, when you're erasing, you can see that you get some little, like, scruffy parts here. You can erase that as well, so that you get a clean line. But it's your choice. It depends on the look that you're after. In this pattern. I might need to adjust some edges there so that they're not too, like, pointy. So I'm just fixing the details here with all of these erased lines. Okay, so that looks good. And then I want to add that part of the vine. I will do that on a separate layer because I want to keep this orange on one layer and that part on another layer. So I want to add a new layer. Later on, I will actually add it to the leaves layer, I think, but now I will add a new layer and I will choose that purple or lavender color. And pull it up. As you can see, it's not directly on the sketch there, so I need to see where I've actually drawn the vinee and not the sketch. So maybe something like that. Let's fill that in and see how it looks. You can always change later on. That's what's so nice with Procreate. It's so easy to make changes. Okay, so let's turn off the sketch now and see how it looks. Yeah, so I like the look of that. I think it might be nice to have a little bit more flow to that piece there. And I also want to erase some, like, thicker lines on the pumpkins. I will go back to the pumpkin and I will erase some more. So then I don't need a sketch. Now I will just see how it looks and how I want it to look. And this is all a matter of personal preference, style, what you think looks good. And yeah, trial and error, actually. When I'm creating these types of patterns where, like, this small pumpkin is only one part of a kind of intricate pattern. So then I don't think that you need to mind, like all the details on all of the motifs. So much because it's the whole pattern that matters and how it's balanced and how it flows and not specifically if you have a little scratch there. It doesn't really matter that much most of the time. It's how your pattern looks as a full pattern. Okay, so I like this, but I want to adjust that little part there, and I think that I want it to go up like that, and that instantly looks better for me. So I'm happy with that at the moment. And now let's continue to draw the rest of the pumpkins just like this. So we'll turn on the sketch layer, and I will on the pumpkins layer with the orangey brown color, draw another pumpkin. So here, I want to mention that if you want to use the same pumpkin over and over, you can definitely do that. It will make the pattern look a little bit more static and not as dynamic. I'm going to draw each of these pumpkins to make a little bit more flexibility in the pattern or a more dynamic pattern with more unique motifs. But if you want to just duplicate this one and add it to over there, you can definitely do that. That's a matter of choice. But I'm going to continue to draw the pumpkin over here, so I'm going to draw like this. Like that. And then we will do the erasing part. So as we did this one time before, I'm just going to do it rather quickly, and you can just draw along with me. Mm. Maybe I don't need that part to be two. I can just make it one like that, maybe. I think so. Then I will erase a little bit more. I think that I will do the final parts of the erasing when we added little branch and things so that I know how it looks. Okay. And then I'm going to go into that layer with a little branch there, and I will draw it from the vineeG down like that and just kind of trying things out and see how it looks. Then I need to turn off the sketch layer to see how that looks. This looks really strange over here. I'm not super happy with that, and I'm not happy with how that looks over there either. So I will just adjust that part by drawing that in again and probably just creating a new line there. Maybe I want these to be a little bit more blobby. I don't know. I'm not sure. No, that looks super strange. No. Okay, filling it in. And then let's see how we will make those lines look better. Like that. That looks better. And then maybe like that. Yeah, I think that looks fine. I could adjust that part. So you can be as detailed as you want to here. But now I am happy with that, so I'm just going in and erasing the details here in the white parts. Okay, I think that looks good, especially when we're zooming out and seeing the whole pattern. So now let's move on to the next pumpkin. Which is that one. Now I would say that you can draw each of these pumpkins. I will do a little cheat here. I will select this pumpkin and tap two closed a section and tap copy paste so that I get it on new layer. And then I will tap and drag this one down over there and just copy it. And I can adjust the size, maybe just making it a little bit smaller and just a little bit fatter like this. So maybe something like that. If you don't adjust too much and if you only make things smaller, you won't lose that much resolution. It won't show anyway, the amount of resolution that you will lose won't show in your pattern. So now I will tap on the layer with a little branch there. So I did a little cheat and I copied my motifs because this class will take a really long time if I draw every single motif. Like that. And I think that is also a good trick. You can copy and just adjust the size a little bit. And it will still be a very interesting pattern. Does that look good? Can we just turn off the visibility of that one? Yeah, I think that looks good. Okay, so now turn on the visibility of the sketch and tap the group because now we need to flip it around to be able to draw that pumpkin. So I will tap the selections tool, tap Save and load, selection four when I have the group selected. Tap flip vertical and flip horizontal, tap the selection tool to deselect and tap the selection tool again to select selection number three and save and load, flip vertical and flip horizontal, tap the selection tool again, selection two, the transform tool, flip vertical and flip horizontal, tap the selection tool again, Save and load, selection one, flip vertical, and flip horizontal. Where is the pumpkin? Oh, no, the pumpkin is over there. Sometimes that happens. So what we do then is to tap the selections two, save a load, selection four, and just flip vertical. Tap save a load, selection three, and flip vertical. Save a load, selection two, flip vertical, save a load and selection one, flip vertical. And now we can draw that pumpkin. So now if I want to, I can, for example, copy that pumpkin, and I will actually do that because I am a little bit lazy today, and I just want to finish this pattern. So I am selecting the pumpkin with the selection tool, tap, copy paste so that I have it on a new layer, and then I will tap and drag to add it over here. You can flip it to make it look a little bit different, and you can adjust the bounding box with the yellow box there, and I will just adjust the size. I could even drag it down like that. So then I have adjusted the size a bit. So that's good, but I think that it's flowing the same position as that one. Maybe I want it to be a little bit more like that. And then I need to adjust that as well, because I saw now when I placed this that it was in the same direction as that one. So I think that it will look better if it's more like this. So those things can happen when we are creating the final pattern. On the layer with the little branches there, I will go like, free hand like this, or maybe I want to do it like this direction. So I need to have like a line that goes out, maybe like that will look good. Then I can turn off the visibility of the sketch because that's just in the way, and I can adjust where I want that part of the pumpkin. Yeah, so I think that this is looking good now. We can also adjust, maybe we want them a little bit thicker. These are all details that you can work with for how long you want to. In the next lesson, we will draw the. 11. Draw the Leaves: So now it's time to start to draw the leaves. So what I will do then is just first to merge the layers with the pumpkins, so I will tap merge down on all of those layers so that I have all of those on one layer. Then I will turn on my sketch, and I will on the layer with the branches here. I will rename this leaves, and here I will start to draw the leaves. So with the vintage ink again, I will just start to draw them. And here I won't copy them. I will just draw each leaf by themselves. Just to make a little bit more dynamic pattern. So I was a little bit lazy there with the pumpkins. You can draw each pumpkin completely unique, and that might make a more interesting pattern. But for me, I just wanted to copy it so that I quickly could move on with the class. Okay, so moving on, let's start with drawing the leaves. So first of all, I will just drag out some branches because as you can see here, the sketch is a little bit off. I changed it from the original sketch. So what I want to do is maybe I can just draw one of the leaves here. So that I get a feeling for how the leaf will look. I know that I want to pull that one out a little bit, but I can destroy it like this because the vines are on one layer now, so that's good with keeping them on separate layers, at least for now. And I can see if I want to put it out in this empty space here. I think that I do want to do that. So then I can just tap the transform to oops, tap the selection tool and just select around the leaf and just drag it out a little bit. So that was the first leaf that we draw, I wanted to make sure that I got the right shape of it. Otherwise, I could just draw it like freehand, and then I can just add little branch that goes up like that. I will adjust these later on. But I just want to get a good flow in the pattern for now. So let's just draw that one over there. I'm filling it in so that we get this yummy texture. And moving on, I would do this one. Maybe we should go up something like that and feeling it in and adding one over there, maybe. And now I'm just trying to go with the flow of the pattern and not completely drawing after the sketch, but at the same time using the sketch as a guide for the placement of the motifs so that I don't get the balance and flow completely wrong. Okay. And then we have one over here. Maybe it goes out. Like that. Oh, I have around 12% in brush size. And going up like that and maybe I'm going down there. And then this one. And here I wanted to show you what to do if you're doing overlapping. In this pattern, this will probably be the only overlapping, so that's a little bit strange, maybe. But I just wanted to show you how you could do that in a simple way. I'm not getting that right. Okay, like that. And we have something else? Yeah, we have the other ones that are over there. But let's start with these ones. So now I just want to turn off the sketch so that I can fix the details here and maybe just get a good like vibe in the pattern and a good movement with these branches. Those look good. This looks a little bit strange. One. Here we are missing some colors over there. Okay, so this is at least good enough for this class. Now I will do the same technique as it did with the pumpkins. I will tap and hold with the eraser so that I can erase just some little lines. And I'm going to do these lines rather quick. Something like that. And then I noticed that this is much thinner than all of the other ones. So I will just adjust the size of that branch going out there to leaves and that looks better. I think that I want, like, thicker branches in this pattern. That would probably look good. Yeah, I really like to look when they're getting a little bit thicker these branches. Something like that. I needed to pause there to connect the power cable. But now I will adjust this little vine there because I can just erase that part of the vine and I will show you how to do when you have overlapping objects now. Tap the vines layer, and then you can just use the eraser and just erase a little bit outside of that leaf. And that will give you a really nice effect. So as we didn't plan this, I haven't I haven't made more leaves overlapping, but that's fine. I will just raise that part of the vine, and then I will go in on the leaf and just fill in the parts that were missing there. So that looks pretty cool. So you could do that all over the pattern if you want to. I'm not going to do that now as we didn't plan for it, but that is how I would do very simple overlapping. Motif. So now we need to flip this whole pan around because we have leaves in the edges. So we can pull it in. So tap the new group over there. That's the pattern and tap the selections to save and load selection four, tap the transform tool, flip vertical and flip horizontal. Selection two, saving load selection three, flip vertical and flip horizontal. The selection tool, saving load selection two, the transform tool, flip vertical, flip horizontal. The selections two, save and load selection one, the transform tool, flip vertical, and flip horizontal. Here we have some leaves that we need to fill in. I will just turn it around maybe like that. Yeah, like that. I didn't need to turn around. So tap the leaves layer, and with the same branch with the same color, I will just continue. Maybe I want to turn around to get a good bow good look of that branch over there. So, something like that looks good to me. And then the next one could maybe go from there. I'm changing the sketch a little bit to adjust it to my final pattern. That's fine. Like that, and then we have one leaf over here going up there and the leaf. Maybe something like that. Okay, so that looks good, turning off the sketch and then erasing part of the leaves. Oops, too big. I don't know what size. Seven. Yeah, seven is good. So three little lines on each leaf. So this all looks fine to me. I'm not super happy with that leaf over there. Let's just turn on the sketch to see if we have covered all leaves. Yeah, we have. Okay, so now you can just see if you want to make some changes. I can instantly see that I want to change this one. So I will actually I think that I will just pull that one out. I will grab the leaf with the selection tool and try to pull it out. Tap to close the selection, tap the transform tool, pull the leaf out a bit, and then I will add that little line there. I will adjust it, make it a new one so that it fits better. Not like that more. Like that, maybe. Yeah, this looks better, and then I can just add a little bit on that one so that it gets a little bit bigger. So what this also did was that it moved away from this center line that we talked about earlier. So now we have a little overlapping leaf up here as well. I think that that looks good. I could make it even a little bit larger if I wanted to Okay, so for me, let's twist it around. This looks really good. So now it's time to try out this 12. Test the Pattern: So now it's time to test the final pattern. And what I would do then is just to tap the group so that I'm on top of the group when I paste my image, and I will swipe down with three fingers, copy all, swipe down with three fingers and paste. And then we can test the patterns in two ways. The first way is to use my pattern tester on the website. I will tap the three little dots at the top, split view, tap Safari and I have my Pattern Tester here, which is linked to the resources and download lesson in this class, and then tap and drag to pull in the pattern. Then I will zoom in and zoom out and see how the pattern looks. I think that it looks really, really good. I really like that the pumpkins are in small little groups. And I like the flow in the pattern. If I would have remade this pattern, I might have made more of the leaves overlapping. I'm not going to do that now, but that's just a little tip from me to you to make the pattern even more interesting to overlap the leaves a little bit more. So I really like to look at this pattern, but I'm not super happy about the colors. I don't need to change anything in this pattern at the moment. But before I'm changing the colors, I want to show you how you would do if you would make some final detail changes to the 13. Make Changes: Okay, so if we want to do some changes to the pattern, I didn't feel the need to do that. I will show you how to do it. So you can do changes to the pattern just straight away on the motifs that are here in the center. If you, for example, would want to add something here, you can just do that and nothing will change. But if you want to change something that are edges, you would need to repeat the pattern again. So then I would tap the group, and I would actually tap on to turn on the sketch as well so that everything is flipped around, and then tap the selections to, Save and load selection four, tap the transform to, flip vertical, flip horizontal, tap the selections tool again, selection three, tap to transform to, flip vertical, and flip horizontal, and tap the selections tool again, selection two, the transform tool, flip vertical and flip horizontal, selections tool, same load selection one, the transform to flip vertical and flip horizontal. I'll just turn off the sketch layer, and here you can go in and make changes to your motifs that were on the edges as well. So that is how you could make changes to the pattern once you have created the final pattern. I would just turn it around so that I have it like this. Okay, so the next step is to recolor this pattern, and we will do that in the next lesson. 14. Recoloring: So now we will recolor this pattern, and I want to do that because that I think that it looks a little bit sharp. This pattern for me would look great as, for example, wallpaper or maybe maybe on fabric, but I think I'm thinking of, like, wallpaper, stationary, maybe some kind of textile home decor. But as wallpaper, I wouldn't want this to be the bright colors. So I want to change it. I've added some colors in the Pumpkin Vines color palette that you can use and experiment with, and you can also use any other color you want to, of course. So let's start with selecting the background. And I want to add a color to the background, so we could use maybe we should use the green color as a background. So let's tread it out. I want to use the green over there and tap and drag the mint green to fill the background. And then I want to change the color of the vinees. So I will tap the vinees layer, tap Alpha ok so that you will only color the objects on that layer, and then I want to use white, the cream white, tap the layer with vinees and tap fill layer. So now I have recolored those in white. I want to do the same with the leaves. So I will tap that layer and tap Avalok and then tap the white again, tap the layer and tap filler. So that looks pretty cool, but I also want to change the color of the pumpkins. So I will tap Avalok on that layer, and I think that I want the pumpkins to be a darker green there. So I will tap the layer and tap filler. So for me, this looks really, really cool, and I really like the look of this pattern now it's three colors, but it feels like it's almost two colors and then just a different hue of the green. So that's much softer if we're thinking of like wallpaper and those sort of products. So that is how you recolor this pattern to not lose texture. You can also, for example, recolor by tapping and filling and tap continue fill and do like this. But for me, that won't necessarily fill in all the textures. Sometimes it does. Now it does, but sometimes it doesn't I'm using the Avalok and fill layer to make sure that these yummy textures are all filled with the right 15. Add Overall Texture: Now we are going to add some more yummy texture to this pattern. And that's simple to do. Just follow my lead. So I will tap on the leaves layer here and tap to add new layer on top. And there I will just add overall texture as the name on that layer. Then I will choose the vintage texture brush, and I will go for a gray color. So just tap that classic color panel and go for a light gray color. And I will go for a large breast size and then just swipe over the pattern. So this looks pretty strange, doesn't it? But that is because we will use a blending mode. So tap the layer, tap the end symbol, and drag up to Caliburn. And here you can see that you've added some texture. So I think that that texture was a little bit too much. You can either bring down the opacity. But first, I want to tap of lock and just go up a little bit here in gray so that I have an even lighter gray. Not over there over there somewhere and tap the layer, tap the layer, so that it's a little bit of lighter texture. But I still feel that it's a bit too much, so I will tap the layer and drag down the opacity a little bit, maybe to around 50%, so that I have texture in the background as well, but it's really, really subtle. So for me, this looks good. You can experiment with how much texture you want to create. The grayer, the darker gray, you color this texture, the more texture it will become. So let me just show you one time. If we go really dark here and we will tap the layer when it has Alphalox selected and tap the layer, you can see that you get a lot of texture here, which I don't want to do, so I'm tapping with two fingers to do. But you can experiment, and now we added the texture. But what we need to do now when we added the texture is that we need to create a pattern of the texture, make sure that we can't see any lines. So the first thing that I will do is just to drag up the opacity to maximum there. And then I will swipe down with three fingers, copy all, swipe down with three fingers and paste, and then I will split view, go back to the pattern tester and just tap and drag my image. And then I will swipe to the right to go all in full screen on the pattern tester and just see if I can see any lines in the texture. I can't see any lines here, but if you can, I want to show you how to fix it. So I'll just delete that image, and I will actually delete that first image over there as well. And I will tap and drag the sketch below, actually, because I don't need that anymore. And then I want to create a pattern out of this again, create the pattern action to see if you have any lines in your texture. So let's just create a darker texture because I want to show you what I mean. So I will tap a darker gray color and tap three layers. So now we have a lot of texture. And then I will tap the group, tap the selection tool, save and load, selection four, tap the transform to, flip vertical, and flip horizontal. Tap the selection tool again, selection three and save and load the transform to, flip vertical, and flip horizontal. Selection tool again, save a load selection two, transform to, flip vertical and flip horizontal. Selections tool again, selection one to transform to flip vertical, and flip horizontal. If we zoom in here, you might see that you have a line over here, and if we zoom in, you can see that it's sharp, but you might not see it in the pattern. But if you end up like this, I will show you how to fix it. So then we go into the overall texture layer. We make sure that we have the same gray color selected. And with the vintage texture brush, you can, first of all, for example, erase a little bit of texture. So tap and hold with the eraser tool to erase a little bit of texture on those places where you could see those lines. And then I would go in with the texture and just smoothen it out. You could do a little bit smaller as well. So adding texture, but making the line not so visible. Oops, I need to tap Alpha lock to make sure that I can add texture on the full layer. Okay, so now we don't have any sharp lines. So that looks really, really good. And then I can tap the layer, and I'll just bring down the gray color of the texture there. So I will tap the layer again, tap of, tap layer, fill layer to bring down the look of the texture, and then just drag down the opacity to what I want it to be, maybe around 65% this time, and that looks good to me. 16. Test the Final Pattern: So we have finished this pattern, and it's time to test the pattern out. So swipe down with three fingers tap copy, swipe down with three fingers tap paste. I still haven't really decided if I want to pattern in this direction or in that direction. But I don't know. Let's just make the pumpkins. Hanging or you can make them upwards. I think that this was the original that I did. I'm not sure. I don't remember anymore, but I'm going to keep them hanging downwards like this. Then I will tap the three little dots, tap split view, tap Safari, and then I will tap and drag my image, and I can drag down for a smaller size. I really, really like the look of this pattern. I think it will look amazing as wallpaper, for example. And for me, this looks super good. So then I will head back to Procreate and to test the pattern in Procreate, I will just shut down the color panel. I will swipe to right four times or three times. Or actually four times so that I have four copies of the original, and then I will tap the transform to tap in the top left corner node, type in half of the size of the first box there. So 3000/2, 1,500. Make sure that you have the blue chain symbol tapped in. I will tap the next layer, tap in the top right corner node, 1,500, tap in the next layer, bottom left corner node, 1,500, tap on the fourth layer. Bottom right corner node and 1,500. And here we have the pattern repeated in Procreate. So this looks amazing, and it's time to export our patterns. 17. Export the Pattern: So it's time to export your pattern so that you can use it and also share it here in class. So let's just merge these four together, so you can swipe down with four fingers or swipe down with two fingers, all of the four layers to merge them. So this is your PT pattern, and this is your pattern tile. And you can, of course, export them both. So to export your pattern tile, tap the actions panel, tap share, I usually export as JPEG, and then you can just save image or wherever you want to save it. To your dropbox, to your iCloud files or wherever. And then I will turn on the visibility of the repeated image, tap, the actions panel, share and JPEG. And there you have your two images, the pattern tile, and your repeated pattern ready to be shared here in class. 18.
