1. Intro & Class Project: Hi and welcome. I'm so excited to
have you join me in a Skillshare course
where we will learn many different ways that you can create
repeating patterns. Making parents can read
both relaxing experience as well as a way to create design that you can
market and sell. I'll be demonstrating
the process using the Procreate app, but the technique is equally applicable to many other
software programs. So you should have no
trouble taking the methods you learned here and
applying them elsewhere. But if you're going to follow
along with me in Procreate, you'll not only learn
many techniques for creating patterns, I will also share with
you tips and tricks to get the most out of
using the Procreate app. This class is geared
to all skill levels. Additionally, while
I do recommend watching the classes in
order to feel free to skip around a site of the
first-class which discusses a few very helpful
Procreate settings to make creating repeating
patterns easier. Each lesson can stand out zone. If you see a particular type of repeating pattern that
sounds interesting to you than I encourage you to jump right
in and try it out. The class project will be
to create one or more of repeating patterns using any of the methods
discussed in the class. I can't wait to see what you do. So without any further ado, let's get started
with learning how to create our first
repeating pattern.
2. Tossed Patterns: One very popular pattern
is called a tossed layout. And in this video, I'm gonna show you how we can make that. Where I start off by creating
a canvas is 20482048. And the first thing I'd
like to do is go into Crop and Resize to change
in the settings, the DPI to make it 300 DPI. So that's a higher resolution. Now let's add in some elements. I'm going to go to the
calligraphy brushes and choose monoline. Doesn't really matter what size. And stick with this blue
color in my color palette. I'm going to draw a circle
on the canvas and hold and then pressing with my finger will make it a perfect circle. And then do a color drop to
fill the whole circle and go back to layers panel and
duplicate that one layer. Now we have two circles,
change the color to a slightly greener blue
and drop that in. And duplicate that
layer and go to a yellower color and
color drop that in. Now we have three circles. Duplicate each of them,
so it will have six. And then we're going to take, you've each of the colors,
put them together. Item all by dragging
to the right and each layer go to Transform tool, make sure uniform is on and resize all three to
be smaller circles. Let's take the first
half circles also a little smaller by
repeating that process. Now that we've got our circles, it's coming from around first
trimming off, snapping. And let's take the top layer and I'll move it
up a little bit. Now switch to the next layer, small circles, and we'll move that over to the bottom-left. And our third small circle
to the bottom right. Now our big circles, let's move them around
a little bit as well. Just fired trying to
fill up the space. And I'm purposely
trying to do it in a way that none of the
circles are touching. Now, they're all in their
respective locations. Oh, I see. There's a little bit
more at the bottom. We can move it. So let's do
that to space them evenly. And I don't like the fact
that these two darker blues are together. So let's swap the position
of the two blues. Now. I'm happy with all that.
We're going to compress all the layers into one
layer by pinching together. I'm going to add in
a background layer and move it underneath
our top layer, change the color to a
very pale blue color, and drop that in. Now we have the beginning
of our tossed layout, but you'll see there
are some gaps here. And so to fill them up
when I'm going to do is move our pattern
around a little bit. We can see these open areas
better and fill them up. So the way that we're
going to do that is by duplicating each of these layers and then move a background layer under
each circle layer. And now we're going to
select a circle layer with a background layer
at the same time, go to the Transform tool, make sure snapping is turned on. And then we can
move the two layers halfway up the canvas. And she'd go in lines
up here to tell you that your snapped to
exactly the midpoint. After moving the
top two layers up, Let's go back to
our Layers panel. Select the other two, and repeat the process and transform
them to move them down. Being sure to wait to see those yellow bars to say that
you've hit exact center. Now let's put our
pattern back together by moving the two circulares together and merging them. And we'll do the same thing with our background to
merge those together. Now on the circle there, I'm going to add in a few more circles to fill in the gaps. Let's pick the
darker blue color. I'm going to draw a
circle over here using the same draw hold
techniques so that we get perfect circles and then doing a color drop
to fill it in. What do you want to do
here is make sure there's a good distribution of shapes, colors, and spaces so that you won't see
so much repetition. And it'll be more like
a tossed pattern. And then the yellow circle. And now the lighter blue. Now that was tossed
parents complete, it's time to check that it actually works out as
a repeating pattern. Let's duplicate the
circle layer four times. One is a backup. Move the background there up to the top and it needs
the top layer. And select the top to select the top two layers,
circle and background. And using the transform tool,
we're going to scale it, making exactly one-quarter of
the canvas and moving into the upper left quadrant to expand the background
back to its full size, we're going to the
Transform tool and click on Fit to Canvas. I'll expand it to the full size. Now move to full
size background, one layer below so we can see
the next circle pattern and repeat by moving that one up to the top right
part of the campus. I think you know what we're
going to do for layer three. It doesn't have to
be in this order. As long as you get each
of the four copies into the four corners
of the Kansas. And as you can see, this is a perfectly repeating
tossed layout pattern.
3. Patterns with Drawing Assist: For this repeating pattern, I want to show you how to do it using the Drawing Assist tool, which is a very powerful
tool that helps make patterns so much easier. So to begin, we're going
to create a new canvas. Let's do the 2048248 option. We're going to go the wrench and turn on the Drawing Guide, which is going to
activate drawing assist. Now we have the option to edit the drawing guides and
pressing on the symmetry tab, we can click on the
option button and see the different symmetry
options available to us. I'm going to click
on the radial, which will divide your page
into eight equal segments. And then click on the Done
button on the top right. You're very careful
that you click on the word done and not
on the bar underneath, which will change the color
of the drawing guides. So I'm approaching it from the top to make sure
I hit that correctly. And that's like a
brush that you like. And as we start to draw, you'll see whatever
we're doing is repeated and mirrored in
the other four quadrants. Have fun playing around, adding some circles, arcs, lines, and see how
your pattern with the drawing assist imaginably developed into
something really cool. Christ drain lines in
the middle of paper, along the dividing lines in
the middle of a segment. And see appropriates Drawing
Assist does your pattern. One thing I'm doing is
giving some space that the pattern doesn't go all the way to the edge of the paper. And that's because when I
want a repeating pattern, in this case, I want
to make it simple. They don't have to
worry about how it aligns one to the next. When you're satisfied
with your pattern, open up the Layers, click on the layer to show the different options and
turn off drawing assist. The next step, of course, is going to be
duplicating this pattern. Slide left on the layer. Hit duplicate and repeat. I tend to duplicate the
original layer and duplicate because procreates a raster
based program and not vector. In reality, I've never seen a big difference
between the layers. I'm going to hide the
original one in case we needed it for any
recent later on, and then moved to start resizing using the top most layer. When we click on the out-degree
of the transform menu, will see a bounding
box around the layer. And you'll notice that
because I decided not to have the pattern go
all the way to the edges. The bounding box is not the
full size of our canvas. In order for the
pattern to scale it properly to all four corners. Where we're going to
do is create a new layer at the bottom
of our stack. Then take a color and drop it in to fill
up the entire layer. Now we'll select both layers, the top layer which is already selected and we'll
try it right on the topmost copy of the pattern and go back to transform tool. The entire canvas is
in the bounding box. Now that we're about
to start scaling, I want to introduce a snapping. You can find the snapping
options when you're in transform mode in the
very bottom left corner, it's nothing has two options,
distance and velocity. Entering them both pupae is actually very helpful
what we're going to do here. The first thing we want to
do, obviously to turn it on. I'm only velocity
low for a second. You'll see I'd have to move much slower for the snapping
to take effect. They turned velocity
up to a higher number and then start to move around. You'll notice that when I get
close to a snapping point, it will snap
automatically even if I'm moving a little bit
faster than before. The same thing with distance, I can be further away
from a snapping point and I will start
to snap already. After scaled one
of our quadrants, we're going to resize
our color drop layer so it fills the
entire canvas again. Click on the color drop layer. Then under resize, you'll see an option that's
called Fit to Canvas. Clicking on that will expand the image to fill the
canvas completely when we click on the
button with our color fill layer now at full
size of the canvas. So we're going to select the
next layer is our pattern. And then we'll
repeat the process. This time. I'm
going to try to get to the top left quadrant. Now to the top right. Remembering to re-size it, resizes color drop layer
every time to refill it. And finally, to
the bottom, right. And now we can hide our
college dropout layer. Merge all four copies of the pattern
together by pinching. And here is our finished
repeating pattern.
4. Half Drop Patterns: I'm going to show you
now how to create a half drop repeating pattern. Even if we could do this with a pattern as a perfect square. I'm going to show you how you
can do it with a rectangle. So to begin, let's
create a Canvas that is 4 thousand by 3 thousand
pixels and 300 DPI. And zoom out so I can
see the entire canvas. Let's go to our color picker and choose a reasonably
dark blue color. And we'll use the selection
tool to make our pattern. Choose the rectangular
option from below and mix your
color fill is selected. And now you'll see a rectangular
marquee as you draw. As soon as you lift up your pen, it will automatically fill
whatever the current color is. As long as the selection
tool is still active, they are all filled that
same color will keep drawing a few more rectangles
and then we'll lock in our color choices by selecting the selection
tool for deactivated. Let's go back to our
color picker this time. Another blue, but a little
bit on the warmer side. Click on the selection
tool again to reactivate it and start
throwing in more rectangles. When you're happy with
how it's looking, just click on the Selection tool to lock into choices again. And let's go pick a third color. I think this time I'm going
with a more purpley color. A little more warmth
to our pattern. As we add more rectangles to it. I'm going to add in a
few more rectangles. Here. I see that there's a small little
whitespace between the two rectangles
don't exactly match up. So let me just fix
that up there. And looking at the
pattern overall, it looks like an a topic
could use a little bit. I'm going to break up
that large blue area. So let's do a, let's pick one of the colors
we used before, this blue, the lighter blue. And we'll put it
right in the middle. They're returning the favor. Let's take one of
the darker blues. Let's take this
darker blue at all, put it in the middle of
that letter blue patch. And with that, I think
our pattern is ready. So let's go make a
copy of everything through by swiping down
with three fingers and then selecting Copy All. And then we're going to create our half drop repeat pattern, a new larger canvas. So let's go back to the gallery
and create a new canvas. I'm going to select again the 4 thousand by 3
thousand cameras. But we're going to now
click on the wrench icon, select Crop and Resize. And then under the
settings change the dimensions to twice the
size of the original canvas, which in this case it'd
be eight thousand, six thousand pixels. Click done. And now we have a
much larger canvas in which to paste our pattern. And we'll do that by
swiping down with three fingers and
selecting paste. What's cool about this
as it will paste it exactly in the middle or Canvas, which is precisely
where we need it to be for this drop-down
parent to work, Let's go to layers and start making stone tools so we
can start playing around. I seem to have run out of
space on my my memory. No worries. We're going to
start moving. We have here. And if we need to make more, we will just make
more afterwards using the transform tool and
making sure snapping is on. We'll take the top
layer and move it to the top left corner. It's going to be half off. And since we have snapping on, you'll see that the
alignment market shows exactly when it's
halfway across, so we know that we've
aligned correctly. What does the placement pick the parent that's on
the layer beneath it and move it to the top
right using the same idea. Copy number three, moving
directly up and again, moving half of it
off of the page for copy number four will
go to the bottom left. Five is going to buy them right? And copies x will be
directly beneath. Now that we've
filled up our page, we can go to Export
Layers and compress all of these into
one final image. Merge those layers
together as well. Now, It's always a good idea to double-check
that your parents really does repeat seamlessly. So we're going to make four
copies of the pattern. And then we're going to
go to the Transform tool and scale each one
to the four corners. You can see that since I'm
in the free transform, it's not actually
scaling it uniformly. So let's go switch that to
the Uniform Scale and do Omer time. Snow
to the top right. Next one. So the bottom-left and the final one to
the bottom, right. Here we are. This is
what I'd finished. Dropped everything
pattern looks like.
5. Brick Patterns: I'm going to show you now how
to create a brick pattern. Repeat, and we're going
to use a square canvas. Firstly, I'd like to do is go to Crop and Resize and change the DPI to 300 DPI just so
it has higher resolution. I will start by picking a brush from the calligraphy
set called mono line and raising the
size to the maximum. For color. I'm picking something
in the dark green area. Were to draw a circle
and not lift up from riddance The Drawing
Assist will kick in. Then press down
with my finger to make the ellipse into
a perfect circle. Next to the Transform tool will move it
into the middle of our canvas and then
make a duplicate of it. And move that to
the right slightly. Make another duplicate
and resize it. To make a circle in the middle. You'll notice that when
you make your size of the width of this
circle as much money. Other words, here's
how you fix that. Go to the Layers panel, reduce
the opacity of that layer. Make a new layer on top of it. And draw another circle
trying to match the points, even it's not a perfect circle. We can have drawing assist, help us to make it look circle. Delete our guide circle. Now we'll just move it into position for now that we have our circles
exactly as we want them. Let's combine all those
layers together by pinching recenter our pattern. And then we're going to
fill in our pattern. And the way we're going to
do that is by first turning the existing layer into what's
called a reference layer. And now I'm going
to create another layer and color drops we do, we'll fill in the
spaces as if they're bounded by the reference
layers of alignments. So let me demonstrate and it'll become pretty clear
what I'm talking about. Let's go take a color and color, drop that into the middle
on our empty layer. But it's only going
to fill based on the circle that's
on a layer above it. Once the advantage of putting the color at different
layer than lines. Because if I want to change the color and go to hue
saturation brightness and play around with the
settings until I get a color that I
feel is more suitable. Now let's go to a new layer
for the same reason and repeat the process of picking another color and
dropping it in. And that seems to work well. So let's pick one more color. This time it'll
be a lighter blue and we'll drop it
in on the side. If I click on the words
continuing filling with re-color. So then we get this cross hairs. I can just move that to
where I wanted to fill. If you've a lot of areas to
fill in, That's very helpful. With that, our pattern is done. And let's go merge all
the layers together. Now since I want this pattern to actually be touching one. So the next almost like a chain. I'm going to go to Transform
and click Fit to Canvas. And so that will
extend it so that it is going edge to edge. Now let's copy it by pulling down with your fingers
and selecting coffee all. Going back to our gallery. Here we're going to
make a larger canvas, basically double the size
of the previous one. So we'll start with
a square again. Go to resize. Doubling the size to
4096 by 4096 pixels, changing with DPI to 300s. So it has high resolution. Clicked dealt with already. And now we can pull it down with three fingers and click paste, which will paste the pattern right in the middle
of our Canvas, which is perfect for us. Layers and make the number of copies of it so
that we can start moving it around to different sides and
create our brick pattern. Select the topmost layer, go to Transform tool and we're going to move it
directly to the left. And you see that the touch. And now we're going to
go to the next layer and moved out to the right side. Once that's in
place, we'll go for our next layer and we'll
move that up to the top. With snapping on,
you'll see that in the right place that it
will snap to the corners. And now we can do that
for the next layer. And you slapping there it is stepping to
the corners again. Bottom-left, please. Another last one
snapping in place. And now we can merge
the layers together. And now we have our
repeating pattern. So let's go check it out.
Make a few copies of it. Being one as our resources
because we needed going to transform tool and
going one-by-one, moving each one to
its own quadrant. This one's going to go
into the bottom-left. Know our last one over here. Here we are with our
brick pattern repeat.
6. Diamond Patterns: We're going to make a
diamond pattern now. And for that we have to
use a square canvas. So let's create a new canvas. Again, I'm gonna
pick the 2048 by 2048 under Crop and Resize. We're just going to update
the DPI to 300 DPI. Then the set things
up for a pattern. We're going to fill the
layer with our color drop. And then with the
transform tool, we're going to
re-size this layer to about half the
size of the canvas, center it, rotate it 45 degrees, and then choose Fit to Canvas. Now, we have a perfect
diamond shape that fills our Canvas for the
parent that I want to do. I'm going to turn on the
drawing guide and then edit it so that the grid
is fairly large. When I'm finished. Now, so that we only draw
in the area of the diamond. We're going to go to the layer that has the diamond on it, and then pull up the
menu and choose, Select. And what that does is it selects the entire area that
has a degree in it. Now we can hide the diamond,
create a new layer. And anything we
travel now only be in the area that used to
have a diamond in it. For my brush, I'm going
to use the Hartz brush, which is in the
artistic brush set. I'm going to start
creating some lines. And you'll see that there's
selection restricts what I'm trying to be only
within this diamond shape. Now I've made these two lines. Let's change the color
to a more yellow color. And pull to the middle. Is why why have
Drawing Assist so I can figure out exactly
where the middle was. And then I'll pick another
color and draw those lines. Holding down before I
lift up the pencil lines. So the shape assist tool will make the perfectly
straight lines for me. I can switch between colors, switch back to the
red color now, and draw in some more lines. I could have done this
using the symmetry tool, but I want each side to
be its own unique flavor, not be a perfect mirror. So that's why I decided
to do it this way. But you could also use the symmetry tool and make a diamond that is
symmetrical on both sides. But I want to go back now and thicken the top line
is just so they match the thickness of the
other lines in this pattern. Small adjustments. I think
we have our diamond. Now let me turn off
the Drawing Assist. And what we need to
do, we need to turn back on the layer that
has the diamond on it? I'm just going to lower
the opacity so we can just barely see it and group
those two layers together. Now I'm going to take for
duplicates of that pattern. And each one using
the transform tool, I'm going to move each one
to one, the four corners. And the reason why this works is because of that diamond that's
filled in, in the bottom. That way procreate knows everything, the
entire diamond shape. And it will snap to the
corners proper. Bottom left. And in the bottom right. Snapping in place, checking
the snapping points to make sure it's in the
right place. Now we're done. We can hide each of
those layers that was assisting us in placing
the pattern properly. Now that those are all hidden within the merger
remaining layers together. And we'll have one complete,
finished diamond pattern. Let's test it out. Making a few duplicates of it, sitting one as our backup. And with the transform tool, we are going to move each into
one of the four quadrants, the top right, the top left. It really doesn't matter which order you're
doing them in. As long as one pattern
gets to each of the four quarters. And
then the bottom right. And here we are. A
diamond pattern.
7. Flipped Patterns: I'm going to show you now
what to do when you have apparently extends all
the way to the edges? How you can make it a
seamless repeating pattern. Let's first create our canvas. We're going to use a rectangular
14000 by 3,000 pixels. And we'll choose a color and use a color drop to fill the background with
the entire color. Let's go with a
lighter purple now. And I'm going to
draw some lines on the page which will be
part of our pattern. Some random lines
here and there. So that was one color. Let's go add in doing more blue and add a few more
random lines like that. And one more color. Let's go with something
that's white. And I'm going to add
in a few squiggles. And this could be our pattern, but before we start
to make into pairing, I'm going to make
it a little more interesting by using
the Liquify tool. And we'll play around with
some of the sliders and start adding a little bit more
variation to this pattern. The swirling around. So after doing it, so I'm
doing a little push tool. The twirl right tool. Here. We'll use this
as our pattern. Duplicate it four times. We move each one into a corner. And as I do so I'm going
to flip it so that it's always mirroring
around a central point. So the top one is going to be
flipped down horizontally. The top right one is we need to be horizontal and vertical. The bottom right ones
we flip vertically. And the bottom left one is
going to stay as it is. Once you've moved all four, you now have a
repeating pattern. Let's take, check it
out by duplicating this 14 times and testing it by moving each one
into four quarters. Again. This time you don't
have to do any flips because this is actually
a true repeating pattern. Here we are. Very easy repeating pattern.
8. Patterns with Blend Modes: In this video, I'm going
to show you how you can use the blending modes to
help create a pattern. We're going to use
a square canvas, 3,000 by 3,000
pixels at 300 DPI, will start off by making
the first layer of black. We'll open our color picker and double-click
on the black area, and that will set
the color to black, drag that in to fill the layer. And I'll make a second layer
and pick some other color, this orange color,
it looks good. Then for our brush library, let's go into
painting brush set, and pick the old brush. Next, we're going to click
on the wrench icon to open the actions Drawing
Guide to try it on. And then we're going to go
to the Edit Drawing Guide. Since it's black,
Let's go change the drawing guide
colors. We can see it. Click on symmetry and
options and make it radial. Okay? Now we can start to draw.
And there's no pattern. Make this a little bit bigger. We can good. Let's go change the
color just a little bit. Some variation with the color. That's looking good. Well,
that looks really good. Okay, so you can turn it off. It says now, here's our pattern. But since we're going to
using the blending modes, I want to get the
parents to go a little bit more towards the edges. So let's go turn back on our drawing guide and
adding a little bit more. Just so it goes
towards the edges. One color. Go back and add
in our original color. Alright. Now we can turn off
the Drawing Assist and will merge the two layers together and duplicate
it a few times. Like before, we're makes
sure snapping is on. And then we're going
to move each of the layers into
other four corners. Using making sure we see the golden bars to make sure
that we're exactly halfway. Okay? And now for the magic
to happen where it changed, go back to the layer and change its blend mode to
the lighter color. Let's move all of them,
make lighter color. And that way it was
going to happen is that anywhere it's black also disappear because we use a lighter color of the
pattern on top of it. So now, here's our pattern
using blending modes. Let's go and try it out and see that this
really does repeat. So drag down three
fingers and hit Copy. And since the original size
was 30,003,000.3 thousand. So there we're going to make a new canvas and make
it double the size, which will be 6,000,
6,000 pixels. Again, keeping the DPI 300. Now, we can do our three-finger
drag and then paste. And we'll get a copy
of our pattern here, which will move into the corner using a snapping to again, make sure it's in
the exact corner. And Bruce go
duplicate this again. Match it up, lay it up
there and merge together, and duplicate one more time. And I'll move it down. And we will have a
repeating pattern. Look at that. Beautiful. So here we can see we made a repeating pattern with the
blend modes to assist us.
9. Bonus: Scallop Patterns: As a bonus, I want to show you how to make this
skeletal pattern. You just took me a while
to figure out how to do, because as you'll see, I'm going to use
different colors. But I think there's a
lot to learn from it. And I wanted to show you what I figured out that will make life a lot easier to make
a pattern like this. First off is we're
going to create a square canvas and
change the DPI to 300. We're going to pick a blue
color from the color palette. And the mono line brush from the calligraphy brush
set at full size. We're going to draw a circle. He propene down so
the quick shape takes effect and then pressing with a finger
Tamika, full circle. Move that to the center with the transform tool
and duplicate it. Make it smaller. Move it in. Duplicate again. Make it smaller. Moving, centered again. And duplicate one more time. And center that. You'll see that the width
of each concentric circle is narrower than
the outermost ones. So to fix that, we are going to create circles on top of
them with the correct width. First, I seem to opacity
of each of those three. There's we wanted to fix it. The third concentric circle, we will make another
layer and draw the circle in the correct
width that we want. Quick Draw help us with that. Now we can delete
the assisting layer. We're going to change
our color to green now. And then on top of the two layers, It's
the only be fixed. We're going to draw on
top of each of those. So drawing a circle on that one. And then laying quick draw
make into a circle for us to lead the assisting layer. And then our last last concentric circle
effects will draw over here and delete that layer. Now that they're already, we'll merge them together and we have four concentric circles. Create a new layer,
drag it underneath. And we're going to fill
that with a color. I'm going to color drop. Go into the transform tool and making sure that
Free Transform, we're going to pull down, we're going to
resize that layer. So it's only half of the screen using snapping assist to know when's exactly
in the middle. Now we go back to that
layer and choose Select. So it looks half of the screen. Now we go back to our
concentric circles there and hit Clear. And it'll delete everything that was in the selected area, which leaves us with
exactly half of a circle. So make a duplicate for
backup, but hide it. Then another layer we're going to hit Fit to Canvas so that it fills the entire width and
move it down to the bottom, the bottom half of the screen. Using snapping to
help us with that. Copy and move it to the
top half of the screen. Now we have to continue on. We'll make another copy and move this into
the middle, right? Mixing means right exactly in the middle with this
that being assessed. And another copy, moving
it to the middle left. Okay. Once we have these two,
we're going to group them. And to begin with, to group. Let's move this one to the top. And another copy of the group, you can make sure
we're copying from the original group that
has the full size. And moving that to the bottom. Okay. So now that we have
our full picture, but you notice because of the, there's a lot of overlaps
here that we don't want. The fixed. This program has a
really handy feature that's going to help us
fix this really fast. So go to the
preference and under Justin's controls you'll
see something called layer. Select. It, make sure
that turned on is the one that says
touching Apple pencil will holding the square will activate the layers select.
And what would that does? I'm going to look for an
overlap in the pattern. I want to erase. Hold down the square. And tomorrow my pen somewhere on something I know
is on that layer. The layer flashes. If we go to Layers
panel, we'll see that that layer is
the active layer. Now with the selection tool
and free hand selected, I'm going to trace around the
part that I want deleted, pulled out with your
fingers and hit Cut. Never repeat that
for another section. Pressing on this square. Tapping the layer, pressing
the selection tool, freehand drawing to
highlight the area we want to remove and
then cutting it away. Here, I can actually two at
once because that layer is overlaps in two places,
cutting it away. And then we'll do that
again on another layer. It's overlapping two areas, erasing two parts at once. Now, the last two and then we have the left
side that we're going to fix and remove that overlap. And finally, the
one on the right, we're still not done because you can see some of the green areas are showing up on top of the blue and they said
We hidden behind. So we're gonna use the
same technique again. I know this there needs to
be on top of the one above it so I can hide
those green parts. So we're going to hold
on the square and press on it and we'll
see where it shows up in our layers panel. And now we can move
the whole group and move them both up. And when we do that,
you see on the green, and I'll repeat that
on the next layer. We're gonna move up to the top. And then one more time. These ones at the bottom will take the group and move them again all the
way to the top. Now, we have our
completed pattern. So we can merge
them all together and duplicate it a few
times to test it out. Let's move on to the top corner. But first we have to change
back to the Uniform Scale. And it'll be easier
to scale up properly. And remember each layer, two of the four corners
and check it out. And here we are. Repeating skeletal pattern.
10. Thank you!: Thanks so much for joining
me in this Skillshare class. I hope that you learned
many new things about making repeating patterns, as well as picked up a lot of new skills about how
to use Procreate. I'm always interested in trying better and more
helpful instruction. So I'd really appreciate hearing what you enjoy
about this class, as well as ain't suggestions you have for how it could've
been made even better. Remember to post
your class project in the projects and
resources section. And I'll be happy to answer
any questions you have or provide feedback on
any of your patterns. Thanks again, and
I look forward to seeing you in another
Skillshare class.
