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.
