About This Class

In this class, you'll learn how to create a number of simple geometric patterns using Procreate on the iPad.  These patterns are so useful for Surface Pattern Designers, especially when creating pattern collections.  They make excellent blender patterns (patterns that blend your collection together) and are popular with quilters and scrapbooking paper.  

This is a great class for introducing pattern designers to Procreate as the patterns are simple to create and are a good stepping stone to the more complex patterns you can create.

You will learn how to create the following patterns:

  • Basic stripes
  • Complex stripes with texture and multicoloured
  • Basic Diagonal stripes
  • Complex diagonal stripes with texture
  • Textured multi-colour Polkadot
  • Hand drawn diamonds
  • Fan
  • Rainbow
  • Simple to complex linked circles

By the end of the class, you'll be thanking me for teaching you how easy it is to create basic geometric patterns using Procreate.

For this class, you'll need an iPad Pro with Procreate (the latest version) installed and Apple Pencil.

1. Introduction: [MUSIC] Hello, my name is Mel Armstrong. I'm an illustrator and surface pattern designer living in the coolest capital in the world, Wellington, New Zealand. Creating and designing patterns is my passion. There isn't a day that goes by that I am not designing or composing or drawing for some pattern. Recently I have taken to the ease of creating simple patterns in Procreate on the iPad. These include simple patterns that you can use to complement your more complex patterns. In a pattern collection, these are often referred to as blender patterns. Blender patterns are loved by crocheters because they blend their design together like glue and help them tell a story on their quilts. They're also very popular with scrap booking and are often used as scrapbook paper. In this class, I am going to show you how to create a bunch of simple geometric patterns all in Procreate on the iPad. This class is great for those who are new to pattern design in Procreate. You will need a basic knowledge of Procreate, but believe me, when I say these patterns are so easy to create. So grab your iPad and your Apple pencil, and let's get started. [MUSIC] 2. Your Project: [MUSIC] For your class project, you'll create a number of simple geometric patterns, all in Procreate. These will include basic stripes, including textured stripes and diagonal stripes. A hand-drawn diamond pattern, a texture in multi-colored polka dot pattern, a hand-drawn fan pattern and rainbow pattern, and a selection of linked circle patterns, all with your own unique style. You'll also create some simple procreate brushes based on some of your geometric patterns. Are you ready? Let's get started. [MUSIC] 3. Stripes: [MUSIC] Let's create a new canvas. I click on the plus sign. I'm going to create a 3,000 by 3,000 RGB, and a plain simple stripe is very easy. I'm just going to pick a color. I'm going to make this palette default. I'm going to select this pink and I'm just going to drag it onto the canvas. Then I'm going to hit the transform tool. In here, make sure that magnetics is on, snapping is on, the distance and velocity are at the max. Then here in the bi-linear, make sure that bi-linear is selected. Then we need to do is drag it across until you can see the two gold lines, and it snaps and they're quite nice. Then to create the other stripe, I'm just going to create another layer at the bottom and then select another color and drag that in. That is your stripe pattern. Now to test that, I'm just going to grab them both. Click on "Group". Then if I use three fingers and swipe down and select Copy All, and then three fingers and then Paste. That has pasted a flattened layer there, so we'll turn off that original layer. Then if I duplicate that one, so we've got four copies and then Transform tool, and we're going to click and drag it and re-scale it down to the four quadrants on each one. I'm just going to repeat that for each corner. Just make sure that it snaps. You can check the size. The width and height should be half of what your canvas was and you've got the gold lines here to confirm as well. Then the last one. You can see that it repeats, lovely. You could keep going with that if we grouped that. Once again, three fingers to swipe down, Copy All, three fingers, Paste. Then once again we could scale this down, copy it four times, and so on. You could keep going. Now, I will group those, and I'm going to flatten them and I'll keep that original one. Now we have the original one, the next one down, and then the next one. I'm going to group those. Now I'm going to show you how to add a bit of interest such as texture to your stripes just to make them a bit different. I'm going to copy that first original layer. I duplicate that by left swiping and then I'm going to drag that to the top, turn that layer off. I want to add some texture to this one here. In my layers panel, I'm going to add another layer and I'm going to clip it to my stripe. Then I'm going to go in and find a texture. I'm going to use this one here, so Lisa Glanz texture called rusty stove top. I'm going to keep it on white, but I'm going to change the blending mode to overlay. Then I'm just going to add that to my stripe and I will take down the opacity a little bit. Let's see what happens when we copy and paste this and test it out. Copy All, Paste, duplicate that one, and re-size. That repeats quite nicely. If we zoom in here, sometimes with textures, you might see a line in here. But that texture that I used is a pretty good repeating texture. We don't need to fix that up at all, it repeats nicely. Let's create one where we do have to fix it up. I'm just going to flatten that one and let's duplicate that first layer again, drag it to the top. I'm going to create another layer on top and select another texture. Use these scribbly scratches. This is another Lisa Glanz one. I'm just going to paint it on here like this. I'm going to change the blending mode to overlay and lower the opacity. I might change the color of the stripes. I'm going to turn on Alpha Lock on my stripe layer and select another color and fill. That way, you can see that texture a little bit better. Let's test this. Copy All, Paste. Now if we zoom in here, you can see with the texture is repeating. We need to fix that. What I do is we'll get rid of those and go back to the original. I'm going to create a new layer and I'm going to just pick any color, it doesn't matter what it is. This is just going to be used as a guide. Then I want to drag that up to the top until it snaps halfway. Then I'm going to unclip the texture layer. I'm going to select this guide layer using the Select. Go back to my texture layer and three fingers to swipe down and Cut and Paste. What that's done is basically split my texture layers into two. I'm going to flip this one vertically and I'm going to flip the first one vertically. I need to check the opacity on this end, do the same on this one, 10-57, and then merge those two layers. I'm just going to use that same brush, maybe turn down the size and just go in here and paint where that line is and maybe in some other spots as well because it does change the effect a little bit. You can see it's removing the line. Now we will test that out, Copy All, Paste. Now you can see that we have no line and it repeats really well. Next, I'm going to show you how to create multicolored stripes. I'm going to go back to my original here, the one that has a number of stripes. Let's duplicate that and drag it to the top. This is just a quick, easy way of re-coloring. If I go into my palette and pick another color, then go into the Selection tool, turn on Automatic and fill color. Then when I click on one of the stripes, it will re-color. There's one, let's pick another color. That looks pretty good as well. Then if you do select it, let's go into another color, that one, and let's do one more. That's just a quick easy way to re-color and create multiple colored stripes. Then let's test that out. There you go. [MUSIC] 4. Diagonal Stripes: [MUSIC] In this video, I'm going to show you how to create a diagonal stripe. Let's create a new document that is 3,000 by 3,000 pixels and 300 DPI. I'm going to drag in a color for the background, and then go up to the wrench tool, go to Canvas, and then crop and re-size. Go into the settings, turn on snapping, and then increase the size to 4,500. Then we need to re-center the canvas by just dragging it until you can see the two gold lines there and then click "Done." Then I'm going to select a color for my stripe, let's go with the pink. Create a new layer, and then go to the selection tool. Make sure you've got rectangle select it and color fill, and then just click and drag to create a stripe and then click on the transform tool. Make sure it's in the middle, so I've got the gold line there and the blue line across to make sure that it's right in the middle, and then click on "Rotate 45 Degrees". Then we can release that by clicking on the transform tool. Then we want to duplicate that twice, and let's grab that first one and we're going to put it up in the top right-hand corner. They should snap to the two blue lines there, and then the second one I want to drag to the bottom left. Go back into the wrench tool, canvas, crop and re-size, go back into settings, and change that back to 3,000 by 3,000. Turn on snapping and then realign this back to the center, then click on "Done." Now we can test that out to make sure that it repeats, so I'm going to group all those together and then using three fingers, swipe down, copy or swipe down and paste. Now we've got our flattened layer and we'll duplicate that, so we have four and then let's reduce the size of each of them to the four corners. Then you can see that it is matching up perfectly and is a perfect repeating pattern. Let's create another one, this time with a bit of texture, which is a little bit harder to repeat. I'm going to go back out to the gallery. I'm going to create a new canvas, 3,000 by 3,000 and I'm going to drag in a background color. I need to go into the wrench, canvas, crop and re-size, turn on snapping and increase it to 4,500 and then align it to the center and click "Done." I'm going to use a green stripe this time and I'm going to use a textured brush. Maybe I will use this one here, and then let's just see what size that is, I need a bit bigger. Make sure we've got a new layer and then just draw a straight line across to create your stripe, and then if I hold it, it will straighten it out, and then if I tap two fingers, it will straighten it to the horizontal line. Then I'm just going to add a bit more to my stripe, and I'm going to add some texture on top so I'm just going to create a new layer, clip it. I'm going to select a gray color and I'm going to change my blending mode to color pen. I'm going to use this brush here, which is a splinter scribble and it's going to paint that on. Just bumped down the opacity a little bit, and I'm now going to duplicate that stripe and merge it, flatten it. I'm going to now make sure that one is in the middle and rotate 45 degrees. I'll duplicate that one twice and drag one of them to the top right-hand corner and the other one to the bottom left-hand corner. Then we need to crop the canvas again, so go back into our crop and re-size, turn on snapping and change it back to 3,000 by 3,000 and then align to the center and click "Done." Let's test this out, so I'm going to group those and turn off the background layer, copy all, paste, duplicate it, and re-size them. With this, you can see here that if you zoom right in, I can see where it is repeating, so we can fix that. I'm going to remove those, go back to my original. I'm going to merge my stripe layers, turn off my background layer, and then I'm going to create a new layer on top and just drag any color in, it doesn't matter what color it is and then I'm going to move it up to the top half of the page. We're just using this as a guide to cut our stripes in half. If I select that layer, go to my stripe layer, and cut and paste. I'll turn off that guide, now you can see that I've got two. We want to swap these around. I'll turn that background layer back on, I want the top one to go to the bottom and the bottom one to go to the top. Now I'm going to go in here and fix up where I can see the lines. I'm just going to merge them together first, go to my brush that I was using for the texture. Actually, no, I'm going to go to the brush that I was using for the stripe, it's lower the size and then I can add to it or erase. Now if I want to switch between the paintbrush and the eraser, I just hold down the eraser and now it's selected the same brush and I'm going to just take off the edge of this. I think the other side wasn't too bad, then we need to camouflage this line which is very faint, but it's still there. Then in here, write down, I'm just going to paint over. You can see that it's taking up the line and I will paint back over this with some more texture as well, and then let's do the other side. Then I'm just going to add another layer of texture just to make it look like it was. Ensure my color burn is on. Now, that looks pretty good, I can't see those lines anymore, so when you get rid of that guide layer, you're going to copy or paste, and let's test that out. I mean, you go this time, you can't see any of those lines [MUSIC] 5. Polkadot: [MUSIC] In this video, I'm going to show you how to create a polkadot pattern in Procreate. Let's create another canvas document that's 3,000 by 3,000 RGB. I'm going to use the same color palette again, and I'm going to draw a circle. I'm using the dry ink, and I'm going to hold that until it snaps and then click on "Edit Shape" and change it to a circle. Then I'm going to color it in. I want this to have a bit of texture. I don't want it to be just a standard polkadot. Anyone can do that. Let's just create something with a bit of interest. I'm going to add some texture as well. I'm going to create another layer on top, add a clipping mask, and then use a grayish color, and I'm going to select a nice texture. Let's try this one. I'm going to change the blending mode to a color burn and drop it down a bit. Then I'm going to add another layer with some more texture. This time I'm going to use white. Maybe some dust. That looks pretty good. I'm going to group that. I'm going to just duplicate that, turn off that original one. Alpha Lock that first layer, and let's select a different color and then click on "Fill". Now we have two dots. I'm going to continue doing that for a number of circles, and I might speed this up a bit. I'll duplicate this one. I've got five circles here. I'm actually now going to duplicate that into another canvas just so I can have the originals there, and then I'm going to flatten all of these. I need to create another layer that's just a block of color to use as a guide. Then I want to increase the size of my canvas like I did with the diagonal stripes. I'm going into the wrench canvas crop and re-size, click on "Settings", change it to 4,500 and turn on snapping, and then put that in the middle. I can remove that shape, put that at the back. I might actually use that as a background layer, so I'm going to Alpha Lock that and select a color and fill it. Now we just need to arrange our polkadots. Actually, I might resize them down first, so I'm just going to grab them all, transform and re-size them down. I'm going to start off with one in the middle. I'm using my guides to get that into the middle. Let's do the next one. I might put this one in the top left-hand corner. You can see that it's in the top left-hand corner because it's got the two blue lines there. Now, you have to think of this square here as you're repeating tile. So whatever is on the top has to be repeated on the bottom and whatever is on the left has to be repeated on the right. This one here will have to repeat in each corner. I'm going to duplicate it and drag it across until it snaps into place with the two blue lines. Then duplicate one, drag it down. Let's add some more. I'm going to put this one up here. That has to repeat at the bottom, and I might actually move this one across. I'm going to turn off snapping for that because I want it in the middle, but it's not letting me. I'm going to put it there. What are the colors that we got? Maybe that lighter one. When you're happy with that, go back to your wrench, crop and re-size. Turn on snapping and re-size it back to 3,000 by 3,000 and place this back in the center. There is your repeat tile, so let's test that out. I want to select everything and group them, and then swipe down. Copy all, swipe down, paste, and re-size them to the corners. I forgot to duplicate them, but that's okay. We can just duplicate them as we go. There's your very simple repeating polkadot pattern. Let's group those as well. You have the larger scale, and you have a smaller scale. [MUSIC] 6. Diamonds: [MUSIC] In this video, I'm going to show you how to create a diamond shape geometric pattern, so let's create a new canvas, 3,000 by 3,000. I'm going to select this color here. I want a textured brush. Maybe I will go with the inka and it's a bit big. Now I'm just going to draw a square as big as possible. Don't take your pencil off. Join it up. Hold it until it snaps at its shape and square. We probably just need to move that around. I'm going to turn off the snapping and magnetics and just adjust this so that it's square. Then I'm just going to tidy up some of the edges here. I'm going to duplicate that and resize it in to fit inside. Let's just center that first one so we know that it's in the middle, and I'm going to center this one as well. I'm going to duplicate that one again and resize it. Make sure it's centered. Then I am going to merge those three and rotate them 45 degrees. Then I want to resize it. I do this with the right and the left. Then the top and the bottom should fit nicely. I actually want this slightly smaller than the canvas. I'm just going to bring it in, touch more and re-center it. Then we're going to duplicate that one. We need a total of five. Let's start with the top one and put it in the top left-hand corner. Make sure you are getting the orange gold lines. Then let's go to the top right-hand corner. The bottom left-hand corner, and the bottom right-hand corner. Let's group those and create a background layer as well. Let's copy or paste, and duplicate and re-size down. That is a very easy diamond pattern. [MUSIC] 7. Fan: [MUSIC] In this video I'm going to show you how to create a fan pattern. Let's create a new document, 3000 by 3000 pixels. I'm going to go back out to my gallery and I'm going to go into my linked circles pattern, my original one and I'm going to go to my first circle that I drew and copy that. Go right back out and paste that in. I'm going to fill that with the same color, and let's crop the canvas to the size of the circle, made sure that snapping is turned on. I'm going to duplicate that twice, and I'm going to drag that one to the bottom left and then across. This one I'm going to drag to the bottom right. Now we're going to use those to cut out the fan shape. If I select this one and then go to my first circle, and if I select cut, you can see in here that it's taken out that side. We can take that off and then the other side, select it, go to the circle and cut and delete that. So that's created our lovely fan shape. Now I'm going to draw some thin lines. I'm going to create a new layer, and I'm going to turn on the drawing assist guide here. Go into your wrench canvas drawing guide, go to edit guide and turn on symmetry, and just make sure that assisted is turned on as well. I'm going to use a light color. I might choose a texture brush, maybe this one here. Let's just test that out, big. I'm going to start down in the bottom and just drag up. I'm going to hold it till it snaps to create a nice curve, and I need to crop that to the fan as well. I'm just going to continue doing that. I might start at the top this time. When it snaps, I can drag it until it sits in the spot that I want. I want one down the middle, so I'm just going to click and drag and hold it till it snaps and then I can create the single line. I also want to create an outline on the outside. To help me out with this, I'm just going to create a background layer. Then I create another layer on top of the fan and clip it. I'm going to use a white again, a light color again and just draw on the edge to create an outline. Doesn't have to be perfect, I want a hand-drawn type thing. That looks pretty good. If I group all of those and turn off those background layers, click down three fingers to swipe down copy all, and then paste, and I'm going to duplicate that one. I have five copies in total and with the top one selected, I'm going to drag it down and then to the left. Make sure you've got your snapping on magnetics and snapping. The next one, drag it down and to the right, and I'm going to skip that one there which is the middle one and go to the next one, and this one can go to the top left and one more top right. Let's group those. Copy and paste, copy all, paste, and duplicate it. We have four and re-scale that down. There it is. That looks pretty good. I'm just going to turn the, oops, turn off the drawing guide and that looks pretty good. [MUSIC] 8. Rainbow: [MUSIC] I'm going to show you how to create a hand-drawn rainbow pattern. Let's create a new canvas that's 3,000 by 3,000. I'm going to go back out and grab my circle and paste that in and fill it with the same color. This is going to be the background of the pattern. I'm going to change that to a lighter color, fill that, and I'm also going to use it as a guide to create my rainbow. I'll leave that there and I'm going to create a new layer and I'm going to pick this Blackburn brush, which is in the drawing library. Just look at that size, that's probably a little bit too small, let's go a bit bigger, and using your circle as a guide. I'm going to draw my arch, just make sure you don't go off the edge of the canvas. That looks pretty good. Let's draw another one. You can also then hold it at the end and it will snap it to an arch, and then another one. I want this to have a real hand-drawn effect though, so don't get too particular about it. I'm going to try that one again and maybe one more. I might just dump this down a bit for this bottom one. I might move that over. That's looking pretty good. I'm going to group all of these. I might also crop it to the edge, in that way we just know it's probably going to work better. Let's Copy All, Paste, and duplicate this. The first one is to go to the bottom left and bottom right. Then skip that middle one and we'll do the top ones. Let's try that. Copy All, Paste. That looks pretty good. [MUSIC] 9. Linked circles: [MUSIC] In this video, I'm going to show you how to create a linked circle geometric pattern and we're going to play with this one a bit and we're going to start out with a very basic and then get a bit more technical by the end. Create a new document 3000 by 3000 and I'm going to select a color. I'm going to go into the calligraphy brush library and select the monoline, we want one that is pretty straight with not too much tapering. So that one is good we want it also at the max size and then we need to do is draw a circle as big as you can on the canvas. Don't worry if it's wonky and then if you hold it, it will snap and then you can go to Edit Shape and select circle and I want to make sure that it's inside the bounds of the canvas and that looks pretty good. So release that and then if I go to my crop and re-size turn on snapping and then just decrease the size until it snaps against the edge of the circle there. So we're basically just cropping it to the size of the circle and that looks pretty good, click on Done and then duplicate that four times and we'll grab this first one, click on the transform tool. Make sure that magnetics and snapping is on and your distance and velocity is at the max and then drag to the top and then to the left-hand corner. Grab the next one, drag to the top in the right-hand corner, and then the next one can go to the bottom and then left and then the last one, bottom and right, and then let's group all those layers. Three fingers to copy all three fingers paste, duplicate that one four times, and decrease the size to test it out and that is your painting lovely. Next, we'll create a very similar pattern but this time with a textured line. So I'm going to go out to my gallery and create a new 3000 by 3000. I'm going to select a different color let's go with the red and let's select a textured brush, I'm just going to stay in calligraphy, and let's have a look at this one might be a bit big. Let's go maybe this Inca, that's quite nice. I'm just going to change the size, maybe a bit, that looks pretty good, and once again, just draw a circle. Hold it down, edit shape, circle. Make sure it's inside the canvas and that looks pretty good and I'm just going to fix up this area here where it's gone from very small to very big. So I'm just going to decrease the size of my brush and just come in here and draw it in, doesn't matter if it's wonky this is a textured, hand-drawn pattern. That looks pretty good. So once again I'm going to go to the wrench, go to Canvas crop and re-size, make sure that snapping is on, and then snap it to the edge of the circle and that one's got a little bit of texture at the bottom there. So I'm just going to click Okay on that. I'm going to go back in here and just remove that so I can crop it more to the edge. So I'm just taking that out and let's go back into the crop tool and see that will take it in a bit further oops, I need my snapping on and zoom in here. That looks pretty good and then click Done. Once again we just need to duplicate that four times and move them to the corners and let's group those and copy and paste to test it, copy all paste, duplicate it and that looks pretty good. You can see that it all matches up and repeats really well. I realized I didn't put a background on that so I'm just going to remove that, go back into my original and create a background layer and then retest it and that looks pretty good. I'm happy with that. Now we're going to create another one and this time I'm going to have filled shape. So I'm just going to go back out to the gallery, I'm going to select that one and duplicate it and then go into it. We can get rid of that layer and go back to the original layer and I want to add a different color to each of my, I guess you can call them they look like petals or flowers. So what I'm going to do is turn that background layer off and copy all sorry turn that background layer off as well, copy all, and paste. So now it's pasted a merged layer as one pace and then I want to create another layer and I'm going to drag like just any color in to fill it and then I want to re-size this down to a quarter of my canvas. Then I'm going to use this as a guide to cut out each of my petals here. If I select it and then select my layer here, I'm going to cut and paste. You can see it cut out one of the pedals and let's move that across to here. Select, and then Cut and Paste. I've got two petals. Let's go to the bottom. Cut and Paste. The last one is already there. Now we can get rid of that guide. Now I want to recolor each of these, so I'm going to turn on the Alpha Lock through each of them and recolor. I don't why it's not set that as default. There we go. It chart on the back, you can see that. Go back to that one as it's done the wrong color, that's better. The last one will be gold. Now I want to turn off the Alpha Lock because I want to color in each of these. If I have the Alpha Lock on, what that mean coloring there. Let's start with this one. I want you to use the same brush and let's turn that up a bit. I want to make sure it has a little bit of texture. It looks like it's hand-drawn. A little bit of gap. Look good. Let's do the gold one. That's looking pretty good. I might also add a background layer. Let's group those together. Let's copy and paste, Copy All, Paste. Turn off that original layer, duplicate this one and resize it. That's looking pretty cool, but I think I might rotate some of these so that they will match up. I want to try and get all these ones into the middle. Let's rotate this one until that's in the middle. This one. I also want to make sure that these two match up and these two, so I'll need to do some flipping as well. Let's do that top right-hand corner one. If we flip it vertically and rotate horizontally, that will do it. Takes a bit of foreseeing in the future where it's going to end up. Now I've got that matching there and I know that these will match and make another one over here. Then I will do the same down here. I'll try this one in the left corner. If I flip it horizontally and then rotate. You can see now that those are matching up, those will match up and those will match up. Let's group these. Swipe down to Copy All, Paste. Duplicate that one. Let's test it out. That looks pretty good. I like that. It's very retro. Then I have one more I want to try. I'm going to go back out to the gallery. I might duplicate this one again. Go back in. I don't need these ones, I'm going to get rid of those, I just want the original, we might keep this one here. This time I want all these to be the same color. Let's get rid of that one there. If I turn on the Alpha Lock and then fill them. I'm going to make them all gold. I'm going to group those. I'm going to create another layer behind, that's me. Then I want to color in just the center with one color and then I want the outside to be another color. Let's start with the inside, maybe pink. I'm going to stay with the inker and just color that in. I'm going to create another layer at the bottom and choose another color. Actually, what I can do is turn on, if you go to Canvas, my Drawing Guide, and then go into Edit Guide. If I click on "Symmetry," go to Options and turn on Quadrant. Then click on "Done." You can see here it's got assisted on, so basically, I just need to color one side and it will copy it to the each quadrant. Let's attest that one out. That's the same shape, but just displaying in a different way through the different methods of coloring it in. If we go out to the gallery here, we have the same shape, but colored differently, creating completely different patterns. They all look pretty cool [MUSIC] 10. Procreate Brushes: [MUSIC] I'm now going to show you how to turn some of these patterns into brushes. Let's first start with a simple stripe. I'm just going to go into here. First, I'm going to go to my Brush Library here and create a new collection. If you pull that down at the top there you'll see a plus sign. I'm going to call this geometrics. Let's get a stripe here. I'm going to duplicate that, I will just drag it to the top here, turn that one off, and now it has to be black and white to work as a brush. I'm just going to drag a white onto the background and change that pink to black. Then if we select that group, turn off the background color, three fingers to swipe down and select Copy All. Then go into our Brush Library and click on the plus here to add a new brush. Go to Grain, and then click on "Edit" and we're going to import that in. Click on "Import" and then select Paste. That has pasted it in. Click on "Done". That's the stripe there, but it's looking a bit funny at the moment. You have to then just turn off this offset jitter option. Then that will create a better pattern. I won't overlap but I'll just down the scale. Let's click on "Done" and just have a look. Edit it to my brush panel here. I'm just going to create a new layer. Turn that off. Might select a different color. Let's test that out. So that's created a beautiful stripe pattern that you could paint into your designs. Let's go back to the Brush Library and go back in and click on "About this brush" and give it a name. You can also write your name in here as well. Click "Done". Let's go grab another one. Let's do the diagonal stripe. Once again, we need to duplicate that layer and then convert it to black and white. Let's drag in a white for the background. I can just group those three and turn on Alpha lock and select black, Fill. Then let's select Copy All. Go into our brush library, add another one, go to Grain, Edit, Import, Paste, and Done, and then turn off the jitter and change the scale. Let's try that. I'm going to select another color. There's your diagonal stripe. It looks all right. I'm just going to name that as well. Let's try another one. I'll try this linked circle with the textured look. I've converted that to black and white. I'm now going to copy it. Copy all, go in and create a new one. Go to Grain, Edit, Import, Paste. Now with this one, I need to make sure that the linked circle shape is actually white and the background is black. To do that, you just need to tap with two fingers and it will invert it for you. Let's turn off the jitter again. I probably want to take down the scale. That looks pretty good. Let's name it while we're in here and test it out. Just like that. Maybe one more. Let's try the diamonds this time. Duplicate that layer, change the back to white, and merge those ones and convert them to black. Copy all, go into my brush library, plus and Grain, Edit, Import, Paste. We want to invert it as well. Turn off the offset jitter and change the scale. That looks pretty good. Let's test it. There you go. [MUSIC] 11. Thank you!: [MUSIC] Thank you so much for watching my class. I really hope you enjoyed it and I hope you managed to create some really cool geometric patterns.
