1. Introduction & What You'll Learn: Welcome to the Skillshare class where we'll bring some hand drawn floral elements to life by transforming them into beautiful cohesive set of chits inspired pattern in Photoshop. Hi, my name is Vinita, an illustrator and a designer based in Singapore. In this class, we'll explore three distinct pattern style, a trailing chits, a bouquet style, and a str playout, each offering a unique way to arrange and showcase your floral motives. You'll start by learning how to refine and organize hand illustrated elements, ensuring they seamlessly fit together in a repeating pattern. Next, we'll move on to Photoshop to create these three pattern style, focusing on composition, spacing, and flow to make the design look neat and professional. By the end of this class, you will not only have three individual patterns, but a mini collection that works beautifully together. So see you in the class. 2. Class Project: For your class project, you can create your own hits inspired pattern using the techniques shown in this class. You can choose any flower and layout of your choice. It can be a trailing, bouquet, or stripe or all three to build a cohesive pattern collection. Start by sketching your floral motif, refining them for a balanced composition, and bringing them to life in Photoshop using seamless repeat techniques. Try different color palettes and pattern size to see what works best for your design. Once your sketch or motif or even the pattern is complete, share your work in the project section of this class. I would love to see your unique take on this classic floral style. 3. Sketching, Illustration & Refining Elements: Let's see some sketching tips for these motifs. Before you start sketching, plan out your primary, secondary and filler elements to create variety and balance. Instead of drawing a full composition, illustrate individual elements separately. This makes it easier to arrange them in Photoshop. Drawing larger allows for better detail and flexibility in resizing later. Keep your pencil strokes lighter and loose, so they are easy to erase or refine. Sketch more elements than you think you'll need. It is always better to have extra elements than to run out when arranging the pattern. So this is what the sketching looks like for my elements. Now let's move on to some illustration tips. Plan a limited color palette to ensure a cohesive look throughout the design. Using too many colors can make your pattern feel overwhelming, while a well curated palette helps tie all the elements together seamlessly. Consistency in illustration style means maintaining uniform line quality, shading techniques, and level of details across all motif. Maintaining a crisp outline can ensure an efficient editing process in Photoshop. Makes it easier to remove the background accurately, preventing any rough edges around your motifs. It will also save time during post processing and result in a high quality seamless print. So this is what my finished illustration look like for these motives. Once your illustration process is complete, the next step is scanning. One of the most important aspect of scanning is resolution. The higher the resolution, the better the quality. To ensure crisp details, a minimum of 300 DPI is recommended. For even greater clarity and flexibility, I prefer scanning at 600 DPI, which helps retain fine details and allow for easier adjustments in Photoshop. I'm going to save and scan this in a JPEC format. The next step is to remove the background from these elements, which can be done in multiple ways depending on the medium used to create these illustrations. For this project, I am using Procreate because I am very comfortable with this app. But this can also be done in Photoshop with the help of selection tool or layer mask or manual erasing to separate the element from the background. I start by importing the scanned copy in Procreate, change my background color to any darker shade, select a nice smooth brush under the eraser tool, and carefully start erasing the background for each element. This can be a time consuming process, but it gives me a nice crisp edge for each element. Once my background is removed from these elements, the next step is to carefully inspect the artwork for any uneven areas or unwanted marks or stains. Under adjustments, I will select a clone tool, select a nice soft airbrush. This helps refine the elements before arranging them into the final pattern. You can find a clone tool in Photoshop two. Now, with the help of my free hand selection tool, I will select each element and cut paste them so that they are all on a separate layer. H Now I can share this file in a PSD format to my laptop. Now, before we start with the next step, I want to show you what my folders looks like. So I have this folder named floral Chads and within that folder, I have two more folders, one for the patterns and the other one for the elements. So when I open my element folder, here I have saved all my scanned copy and also the Photoshop file where I have all my edited elements. So what I've done here is I've got all my elements on one big document. Here I'll start by editing the elements slightly, like the brightness and the saturation. I want to select all the similar flowers and merge them into one layer. So when I am adjusting the brightness and the contrast, it is done all at the same time. Holding my shift key, I've selected all my pink flowers and Command E, that will get them all on one layer, merge the layers. Next we'll go to image, under image, go to adjustments, and under adjustments, we'll go to levels. Here you can see there are three arrows here. So I will be moving the first and the third arrow. The third arrow helps with the whiteness. So when I move that inwards, you can see the elements getting whiter and brighter. Now when you move the first arrow inwards, you can see it increases the contrast and the brightness. And once you're happy with how the motif looks like, you can click Okay. Next, I want to show you how you can adjust the color. I will select this particular orange flower and with my lasso tool, I'll select only the flower area, the orange area, and I'll keep it slightly away on the edges. Once it is selected, I'll go to this tiny icon at the bottom here. Under this, you can see feather selection. This helps to smoothen the selection, the edges. I'll keep mine as 50, but you can experiment by increasing or reducing the radius. Next under image adjustments, color balance. Select color balance. Now my aim here is to increase the yellowness for the flower. You can see the changes to the flower as I move the arrow towards the yellow color. Let me show you how it looks when I try the other colors. Okay, now I go back to my yellow and click Okay. I'll repeat the same steps for this particular flower, too. Next for these branches again, I will select both the layers, Command E to merge them, go to adjustments and levels. I'll slightly adjust these arrows to create contrast and depth to this element. Once I'm done with my editing and refining these elements, I have to make sure that they are all on a separate layer. So with the help of my Lasso tool, I will copy paste or cut paste. So they are all ready to go when we start creating our patterns. 4. Trailing Layout: So let's create our first print. That is the trailing chits pattern. We'll start by creating a new document. I'll keep my document size as 5,000 by 5,000 pixel. The document size can vary depending on your project. The resolution will be 300 DPI with color mode as RGB and the background as white color. Our next step is to get all the elements on this canvas. So I'll go back to my element document. The final group we have here on the top, I'll pick up this group, drag and drop it to our new canvas. As you can see, the elements are going outside the canvas. So our first step is to get all of these elements in the center of this canvas. We will be doing this with the help of the align tool. Click on these three dots. Here, make sure your canvas is selected. This will help you align your elements horizontally and vertically. I'll start selecting them and get them all in the center. Once you have all your elements in the center, I'll rename this group as elements. And I'll duplicate this group with Command che, so that we have an extra copy of this element on this canvas. I'll hide our first group, open the second group. We can rename this first group as pattern or print. Now, before we start creating our print, I'll hide all the elements except for the two branches. We'll start with the print by placing the branches first. Now, with just these two elements on my canvas, I'll arrange these first. Let's switch to the Pattern Preview mode. For that, we'll go to View and select Pattern Preview here. Now, our goal here is to create this flowing interconnected and a continuous organic layout. I'll select both of these elements and make it slightly smaller. Creating this type of pattern can take multiple attempts. You might need several test layouts before achieving the perfect balance. I have noticed that working with Pattern Preview in Photoshop can be slightly tricky. But I also love how this tool helps visualize the repeat in real time. Once I'm ready with the placement of my branches, we can start placing our hero elements. That is the big flows. I will unhide one flower layer at a time. It is important to place them in a balanced organic way. You have to make sure they are spaced out evenly across the composition. I'm working on arranging these flowers along the branches in a way that it feels natural and flowing. Hide my third hero flower. Now, here you can see while I'm placing this flower, I'm also trying to connect the other part, the other end of the branch. Here, if you see this tiny branch looks very awkward. I'll select the branch layer, this particular branch layer. I'll go and select my eraser tool. I'll make the eraser size slightly bigger, and I'll carefully erase this tiny little part of the branch. This can also be done with the Lasso tool. You can select the area that you don't need and Command X. Moving on to my fourth hero element, the fourth flower. A so we are done placing our hero elements here. Let's move on to our secondary elements. I will unhide one element at a time and start placing them. These smaller flowers and buds can help fill the gaps and add movement to the design. These elements should create balance and add visual interest without empowering the hero flowers. Here on the stem, I can see it slightly sticking out. I'll select my eraser tool and slightly crop it. Now, I'll speed up the process as I continue adding more elements to the design. My goal is to carefully arrange them so that they blend seamlessly without making the pattern feel too crowded. I'll adjust the placement of each element to ensure a smooth and natural flow, creating a visually pleasing composition that feels effortless and well structured. Come on, J, and I'll duplicate this little flower. I want to repeat and place it somewhere here. If you see it looks too crowded and there are too many leaves here. So with my lasso tool, I will select one of this leaf. I'll cut paste this element, Command X, Command V. This will paste the leaf on a new layer. I'll place this leaf somewhere here and pull this layer below the flower layer. Now I'll move on to some filler elements. I'll add this smaller bunch of flowers to the pattern. I feel they look too dark. So under image adjustments and curves, I'll increase the brightness slightly and click Okay. Also, I feel this element looks too stiff. I want it to be slightly curvy. For that, I'll do Kamante and you can see this tiny little mesh option at the top. I will slightly try to change the shape with the help of the tiny nodes on them. Next, I want to take out some of the extra leaves on this element. I will be taking them out with the help of my eraser tool. Following the same steps for this filler element too. There is this leaf here that is overlapping. I will take it out with the help of my lasso tool. I will cut paste. I will add and arrange some extra filler elements. Now, before we move on to the next step, let's save this file. I'll go to file, save a copy. I'll save it in the same folder we created for this particular print. The file should have been saved at the beginning when creating a new document. This ensures that all your progress is continuously saved, preventing any loss of your work. After carefully placing and arranging all the elements, I'm happy with the overall layout and feel that the elements are working well together. There should be this continuous flow of these branches and the elements for the design to look natural and cohesive. Et's try some background color options. Go to the layer panel here under adjustments. You can select solid color. This will open the color picker. You can select any color of your choice and click Okay. Now to create another background color option, click on the color fill layer and Command J, that will duplicate the layer. Double click on the tiny square, the colored square, and this way, you can give multiple color options for your patterns. Now to save this pattern in your Photoshop pattern library, we'll go to Edit under Edit, we'll click on Defined Pattern. You can rename your pattern here, and you can do this for each color ase. So we are done with our trailing pattern layout here. Let's move on to the next one. 5. Bouquet Layout: Let's start with our second print style. That is the bouquet layout. We'll start by creating a new document. I'll keep my document size as 6,000 by 6,000 pixel with 300 DPI. My color mode is RGB, and I'll keep my background as white and click Create. Our next step here is to get all our elements on this canvas. I'll go back to my element document. I'll pick up the folder, drag and drop it on this new document. Before we start with our next step, let's rename this folder. I'll rename this as elements, or you can even say motif. You can see the elements are also falling outside the canvas. So with the help of the Align tool, I'll select all the elements and get them all in the center of this canvas. Once we have all our elements in the center, I will duplicate this group. This is optional, but I like to have an extra copy of all these elements on the same document. I'll rename my new folder as pattern, or you can even say print or the working folder. Next, I'll open this group and hide all the elements, and we'll start working with one element at a time. I will unhide one of my hero element that is this large flower. Our goal is to arrange these flowers in a cluster format, which is similar to a real life floral bouquet. So I'll arrange them in a format where they are all facing outwards. There's this center I'm trying to create. After I'm done arranging these elements, I will remove any overlapping parts that doesn't look natural. For example, there's this extra leaf that I want to take out. I will select this flower, select my lasso tool, select the leaf I don't need, and Command X, or you can say delete. So here I'm done arranging my primary elements. I'll move on to my secondary ones. For this type of print, we don't need these branches, so I'll delete these layers. So this is the flower I was looking for. I don't need the stem and the leaves for this flower. So what I'm going to do here is select this flower, select Melasotol. I'll crop out the stem in the leaf for this. Either you can copy paste or cut paste. I will arrange this into our composition until I feel it looks natural and balanced. I'll unhide my next secondary element, add it to our composition. Next I'll drag and select all the elements that I can see on the canvas and group them, which is Command G. So now I have all of these elements in one group. Now before we move on to our next step, I want to switch on my pattern preview on this Canvas. For that, we'll go to view and select Pattern Preview. So this is what our repeat looks like right now. Now, for our next step, I want to change the selection setting here. I'll change it to group instead of layer. So instead of selecting one layer or one element, it selects the whole. I also like to uncheck my auto select option for this particular step. So for this, you have to go to your layer panel and select that particular group. I will select and drag this group on the right corner of our canvas. So what I'm trying to create here is very similar to a half drop repeat. I will duplicate this whole cluster and place it in the left corner here. So make sure your group is selected. Command J, select and drag your group. Before you drag it to the corner, hold one corner of the group, and we will rotate it. This will make it look less repetitive and give more variation to our pattern. Once you're happy with the position of your element, I'll go back to my selection setting and change it to layer and check the auto select option. Now that we have our main elements in place, we'll start adding all the other filler elements. So this was one of our secondary element. I want to place them in the empty spaces in between these bouquets. I will select this flower and command J to duplicate, and I will place this diagonally to the other empty space. Now let's move on to the filler elements. I'll unhide the tiny flowers. This layer is below all the other elements. I'll make it slightly smaller. I feel this element looks too dark, so I'll select this element, go to jasmins and curves, and I'll make it slightly more brighter. I'm trying to place this in a manner where I can achieve this nice balance and flow for our bouquet. I'll follow the same steps for our second filler element too. Under adjustments with the curve tool. I'll make it slightly lighter, make it smaller to match our first element. Once you're happy with the composition, I will select one of these element, the filler element, command j and duplicate, and we will be placing this for our second bouquet too. One of the most important point to keep in mind for this type of print is the negative space between these bouquets. It plays a crucial role in defining this print. A So we are ready with our print here. Let's move on to adding some background colors for this print. Now here under layers, I'll select this adjustment setting. Select solid color. Double click on the black square. This will open your color picker, and you can select any color of your choice. Once you're done, click Okay. Now to create another base color option, Command J and duplicate this color fill layer. This way, you can create some color ways for your print. Now, after looking at this print, I just realize I want to remove one of the leaf here. I'll select my motif, select my Lasso tool, and I'll select the leaf that I don't need, and click Delete. I can still see some more edges here. I'll erase it with my eraser tool. I'll repeat the same steps for the other group too. A Now we are ready with our print here. Now we can save this file. You can even save this file before you start the whole pattern. The moment you make your new document, you can save this file. And I'll be saving this in the same folder that we created for this particular pattern. Rename this as floral bouquet pattern or floral bouquet. Next, we can go to Edit. Under Edit, you'll find defined pattern, select Defined pattern. You can rename your pattern here and click Okay. So here we are done with our bouquet style pattern. 6. Stripe Layout: Let's start with our third print style. That is the str layout. So let's create a new document. I'll keep my document size as 5,000 by 5,000 pixel with 300 DPI and RGB color mode, and the background as white color. Click Create. Now, before we get all our elements on the canvas, we can start with the stripes first. We'll be creating some stripes on this canvas. I'll start by adding a new layer and I'll select this little rectangle tool and click anywhere on the canvas. This will open this little square with the measurements. I'll keep my width as 5,000 pixel because our canvas is 5,000 by 5,000 pixel, and I'll keep my height as 1,500 pixel. This will create a rectangle on your canvas. Next, I want to place this rectangle at the bottom of this canvas for which I will be using the Align tool. Select the rectangle. In this section, you can see there are these three dots. Click on these three dots. Here at the bottom, you'll see there are two options. One is canvas and the other one is selection. Make sure your canvas is selected. This little option means it will move your selected object in the center of the canvas. Next to move this rectangle to the bottom, I'll be selecting this option. Now we have our rectangle exactly at the bottom of this canvas. When your rectangle is selected, you'll get these options where you can change the color of your rectangle. Now let's move on to the next step. I need few more stripes on this canvas, so I'll follow the same steps. I will select the rectangle tool. Click anywhere on the canvas, and this time again, I'll keep my width as 5,000 pixel. But this time, I want the height to be slightly thinner. I'll keep this as 700 pixel and click Okay. Next, I'll select this rectangle and I will place it after a little gap. After I'm happy with the space in between both the stripe, make sure with the align tool, the rectangle is exactly in the center of the canvas. I want to change the color of the stripe. I'll select the stripe. I'll click on this little rectangle that says fill. I want the color to be slightly lighter of the same shade. I will lock both the rectangle layers because when you have all the elements on the canvas, so we don't accidentally keep selecting the strip layer. This makes the process easier and more organized. I will be adding a couple of more strips, and this time more thinner. I'll keep the size as 5,000 by 300 pixel. Click Okay. I will position the stripe and make sure it is in the center of the canvas. Next, I want another stripe with the same size. So I'll select this stripe Command J to duplicate. And this last stripe, I want it to be at the extreme upper edge. Now, before I lock these stripes, I want to change the color slightly. I will make this one as the darker shade of the same mint green. Next, we can get all our elements on this canvas. I'll go back to my element document. I will hold and drag this folder. And get all our elements on this new Canvas. As you can see, all the elements are going outside the canvas. With the help of the align tool, I will get them all in the center of the canvas. Next, I will hide all of these element layers, so we can work with one element at a time. Now, before we start, I will switch on my Pattern Preview. I'll go to view. And select Pattern Preview. Sometimes I feel it is slightly tricky to work with this pattern preview mode. So let's see how we can make the best use of it. I'll start by unhiding three of my big flowers. I want to arrange them on the most wider stripe here. What I have noticed is with the pattern preview on, it is very difficult to rotate your element. So each time I want to rotate my element, I have to keep getting it in the center of our canvas. Once I finish arranging the flowers, I will use the Lasso tool to remove any overlapping parts or elements that I feel looks cluttered. This will help keep the design neat and flowing smoothly. Command X to delete. There's another leaf here that I don't need. So this is what it looks like when you zoom out. Now my next step is to merge all of these flowers into one layer. I'll hold Shift and select all three layers. Right, click and select merge layers. Shortcut for that is Command E. I will pull this layer and place it just about the strip player, just about the thick strip player so that we can add clipping mask to this layer. Right, click and create clipping mask. Let's move on to our second floral stripe. I'll unhide my yellow flower. That was one of my secondary element. I'll select this flour, rotate, and I'm going to place it in between this white stripe. Make sure it is not crossing or going outside the canvas. Next to duplicate this element, I will command J, hold your shift and drag it horizontally. Next, I will flip it vertical. I'm trying to arrange it in a manner so that it looks interconnected. I will pull the second flower layer below the first flower so that the end of the stem is below the first flower. Once I'm happy with their composition, I'll select both the flower together and command J. So we have a duplicate of this. Hold your shift button and drag it horizontally again. Now after looking at this, I want the white space to be slightly more wider. So I will unlock the first two stripe layer and move it slightly, and lock them again and come back to our flowers. I'll move the second group of flour closer to the first group so that they look interconnected. Next, I'll select all the four flour layer, hold it in one corner, and expand until they reach a point where they look interconnected. With my Aoki, I'm slightly shifting it in the center. Now, when you zoom in, there will be one flower where the stem is overlapping on the top of the flower. To fix that, you can use eraser or the masking. Now to mask, I will click on that particular layer. And there's this little square icon at the bottom that will add mask for that particular layer. Select your brush tool, and with the black color, it is the area that you want to take out. So here we are done with our second floral stripe. Let's move on to the third one. I will unhide the fourth hero flower I had. I will rotate this element. And for this particular flower, I don't want the leaves. So I will take out the leaves with the help of my lasso tool. Okay, so we are ready with our flour here. I'll make it slightly smaller, and I'm going to place it on one of the stripe. Make sure it is not going outside the canvas. It is slightly leaving the boundary of the canvas. My next step is to duplicate this element six times. For that, I will command J six times, select the top flower layer, holding the shift button, move right. Now go to the layer panel, shift and select all the seven layers of these flowers. Once they are selected, we'll go to the aligned setting. Here, make sure on the right bottom corner, the canvas option is selected, and at the bottom, press this little icon. This will distribute your flour evenly. Now, I can see there's a little gap here. To fill that gap, I'll just expand this flour slightly until I feel they are looking aligned. When I zoom out, it looks something like this. Here we are done with our third flower strip. Let's move on to the fourth one. I'll unhide my fourth flower element. I will rotate and make it smaller and fit into one of the stripe. My aim is to create this nice floral trailing effect. I will start by duplicating this element that is Command J. Move it right, holding your shift key. Next, I'll flip this flower vertically. I will arrange them in a manner that they look interconnected. While you're working on these elements, make sure they are not crossing the canvas. They are not going outside the canvas. I pulled the second flower layer below our first flower, so the stem is not on top of the flower and it is below the flour. Next, I'll select both the flour layer and Command J. That is duplicate, holding your shift key drag both the elements on the right. Now here you can see the stem is showing on top of the flower. To avoid that, I will pull the layers below the first group. I will repeat the same steps two more times. I need two more sets of these flowers to complete the whole strip. This can also take few trial and error, depending on the flower you are working on. Now, when you zoom in, you will be able to see one of the flower will have this stem overlapping on the top. To fix that, either we can use the eraser tool or the masking tool. I'll select that particular flower and add mask to that layer, select my brush, and with the black color, I'll paint on top of the stem. So here we are done with our fourth floral stripe. When you zoom out, it looks something like this. Let's move on to the last stripe for the print. I will be adding that on this empty white space and hide my fifth element layer. I will rotate this flower, make it smaller so that it can fit into this tiny white space. Make sure you are inside the canvas. I will duplicate this flower seven times. That is Command J seven times. Hold the first flower layer. That is the seventh layer. Holding your shift button, move it towards right. Make sure you are still inside the canvas. Next, hold your shift button and select all the eight flow layers. Now with the help of the Align tool, you can see on the top here, I'll be selecting this one. Next, before you click anywhere else, I will expand, hold in one corner, and expand until the repeat looks consistent. I was not able to figure out one of the problem here, that is the stems are overlapping on the top of the flower. So the only solution I had was to manually pull each layer below the previous layer. As you can see, I'm pulling the layers. The stems are now below the flowers. But in the end, there will be one flower with the stem on it that again, will use the same technique. Either you can erase it or paint it with the masking tool. I am using a masking tool here. So we are finally done with our floral stripe print here. Now we can save a copy of this file in the same folder that we created for this print. Now to save a copy in the Photoshop pattern library, I'll go to Edit and click on Defined Pattern. You can rename your pattern here and click Okay. Let me show you the steps I follow to add more color combination to this pattern. First, I'll rename this folder as pattern and delete all the unwanted layers. We have some elements here that we didn't use in this pattern. So right now, I have this group with the pattern with all our elements, and below that are these stri players, the three stri players. I'll select all three stri player, Command G, and group them. I'll rename this group as stripe option one. Next to duplicate this group, I'll command J two times, and I'll rename the other two as option two and option three. So we have left this wider stripe at the bottom here with the clipping mask on it. I will also duplicate this stripe two times, but we have to make sure that we have clipping mask for each stripe. I will rename them to avoid any confusion. I will add clipping mask for both of them separately. So now you have three sets with the clipping mask on it. We'll drag and drop one set at a time in the folder. So this is what your layers should look like, one folder with the pattern on it, and others with the stripe options. Next, I'll open one group at a time and unlock all the stripe layers and start recoloring them. The colors can depend on the season or the style or the pattern you are working on. A this purple was my second color option. Now moving on to my third color option. That will be in the shades of yellows and oranges. So here we are done with our third pattern style. That is the strip playout. 7. Final Thoughts: Congratulations for completing this class. To recap we learn how to plan and sketch hand drawn floral elements for a chits inspired pattern, how to refine and arrange these elements to create three different pattern style, a free flowing composition that is a trailing layout, a clustered floral arrangement that is a bouquet layout, a structured repetitive pattern, that is a striped layout. I hope this class has been beneficial to you and has added value to your pattern design journey. If you have any doubt or question regarding the class, you can post in the discussion section of this class. I will eagerly wait for your beautiful hits inspired pattern in the project section of this class too. Your feedback through reviews helps me plan and improve my future classes.
