Fun Patterns in Procreate: From Doodles to Designs in Minutes

1. Introduction: What if I told you that you can create patterns in Procreate in less than 5 minutes. Maybe not a very complex one, but definitely a fun and playful one, which is also super relaxing to make. In this class, I am very excited to introduce you to a straightforward method that I have been using and refining over the past few years for creating my patterns in Procreate. Hello, everyone. I'm Sylvia Spina, I'm an artist and designer based in the sunny City of Barcelona. For the past ten years, I have dedicated a good part of my professional work to the surface pattern design world. Whilst Photoshop was always my go to program for creating my patterns, some of which made their way into stores such as Zara, Mango, Sara home, Berhka and some British brands. I have found myself using Procreate more and more over the past few years. Why? Because I can make my patterns from anywhere, whether it's from my bed, the sofa, a cafe, a train or w traveling. Procreate has all the tools and painting techniques that I need in one place, and the creative process is incredibly flexible and convenient. To keep things simple and fun, we're going to use a limited color palette, and I'm going to provide you with five color palettes that I have designed for this class. We're also going to use a few simple doodles, which can be adapted to various markets and seasons. I'll then move to showing you my straightforward method to creating the repeat without the need to creating groups or extra layers. You'll be amazed at how quick and enjoyable this process is. We'll use four different methods to preview your designs on different color ways, and I'm going to show you how to separate your colors into layers to recolor the final version. Lastly, I'm going to provide different mocaps to test your patterns on different products. By the end of the class, you're going to have a professional looking file ready to be shared with clients, uploaded to sites where you can start selling your patterns or start printing your own fabrics. This class is perfect for beginners, as I will guide you step by step with clear instructions, and you will see how easy the pattern making process can be. For those more advanced designers looking to refine their skills or finding a new approach to the process of creating patterns in Procreate, you're also very much welcome to take this class. All you need to take this class is an iPad with procreating style. So get your tools ready and see you in class. 2. Your Class Project: Your project for this class is to create one or more patterns using different doodles and hopefully experiment with different colors. The goal here is to enjoy the process, get used to using the method to create the repeat and let your creativity flow. Whilst creating your patterns, try not to overthink it. Go with intuitive doodles. If you want to make numbers, abstract marks, or scratches, everything will work. Now, if you want your pattern to feed a certain season or market, you can also go for more simple figurative shapes. It's entirely up to you. But one recommendation I have for you is keep it simple and keep it fun. I would love if you can share the following items as your final project. Your final pattern tile on different scales, along with the various color ways that you have explored. I also want to see how your patterns look in the four mo caps that I have created specifically for this class. If you're planning on license or sell these patterns, just make sure that they're different to mine. Use your own color palettes, brushes, and doodles. If after testing your pattern in mo caps, you want to share them on social media, I would appreciate if you can tag me at Sylvia Spina Art to promote this class. I would love to see your patterns and share them with my followers as well. This is the first of a series of pattern creating classes, but I'm planning to teach. So if you're interested in hearing when the upcoming ones are coming out, please follow me here on Skillshare. That button is somewhere down here, and I will send you an occasional e mail announcing a class or announcing a giveaway. I will leave a link with the resources for this class on the description below. By downloading them, you will be accepting to be added onto my newsletter. Don't worry as you will only hear from me when I have something valuable to announce, such as a giveaway, a new class, or share a creative resource with you. If after watching this class, you enjoyed it and learning something new, please leave a review. Let me know what you like the most, what can be improved, and what would you like to learn in the future. Reviews help me improve as a teacher, and they also help my classes gain more visibility. In the next lesson, I'm going to show you how to create a document and turn it into a pattern template. 3. New Document Template: Let's go ahead and create a document for a pattern by tapping on this plus C app in here. I have organized these three templates at the top of my drop down menu for a reason. I love creating patterns. As for me, the process is super relaxing and enjoyable. However, there were times in the past where I either overlooked, setting up the pattern tile correctly or dove straight into drawing without considering I was actually creating a pattern. And after investing hours in a beautiful design. I realized that the resolution was incorrect and the pattern looked pixelated, couldn't be printed or something like that, and it was very frustrating. I've set these three templates of 32 per 32, 24 per 24 and 64 p 64 centimeters because I got used to using these sizes whilst working in the fashion industry. But depending on where you're based, you might want to use inches or pixels. Let's create a new document by tapping on this black box, and I will show you how to turn it into a template. I'm going to create a document of 32 per 32 centimres at 300 DPI. Then I will select the RGB option under the color profile. If you want to turn this into a template, you should tap where it says untitled Canvas and give it a name. I'm going to write 32 p 32 pattern and tap on create. Now, if I go back to my gallery, tap on the plus icon and scroll down this menu, I can see the new template down in here. I can long hold on it and scroll it down to move it to the top. If you want to rename it, you have to slide it to the left, tap on edit, and in here, you can change any of the specifications or the name. And that's it. From now on any time that you want to create your pattern, this is a great sized to do so. 4. Brushes, Colours & Doodles: Before diving into your pattern, take a moment to consider a few key elements, selecting a brush, choosing a limited color palette, and testing a few doodles to decide what you're going to use to compose your pattern. While you can follow my choices and motifs, I encourage you to experiment with different options to make your pattern truly yours. Procreate comes with loads of brushes that you can try beforehand. Whilst doing so, you can start testing different doodles and ideas. Do you want to go for something more abstract? Maybe it's holiday time, and you're leaning towards festive colors and shapes. Or maybe your kid is about to enter to school, and you want to use letters and numbers to create something like back to school thing. I want to keep things very simple for my pattern, so I have a textured brush in mind. After testing several brushes, I settled on using the phrase in brush from the drawing gallery. For your project, I recommend using a limited color palette with a maximum of eight colors. This will keep your design a visually strong and cohesive look. I have provided five color palettes within the resources of this class that you can download along with other materials. To import them head to the color palette library, tap on the plus C up here, select new from file, and choose the folder that you downloaded for this class. Tap on any of these palettes to import them. I'm going to select the kits safari palette, and there you have it. Since I imported this palette twice, I'm going to remove one of them. I'm going to choose the disco palette for my pattern. By tapping on these three dots, you can set any of these palettes as default. Now, whenever I switch to any of these modes, I can see my color palette ready to be used. In the next lesson, we're going to start creating the central motif for our pattern. Now, before doing so, why don't you take a couple of minutes to explore different brushes? You can use different layers for that. You can play with different colors and create new color palettes and also start experimenting with different doodles and motifs. The key here is to enjoy the process and keep things simple. Once you get an idea on the vibe that you're going for, join me in the next lesson, where we're going to start creating our pattern. 5. Starting With the Central Motif: H. In this lesson, we're going to start creating the main motif for our pattern. I'll mention a few considerations that you should have in mind wh I create mine. I'm going to start by creating simple doodles on this layer. When creating this type of patterns, there are three key considerations to keep in mind for achieving a balanced and visually pleasing look in your design. The first one is to avoid placing too many similar shapes directly next to each other. While repetition is natural in the final pattern, it's good to aim for diversity during the creation process. I'm experimenting with a mix of shapes, playing with curves and straight lines to add visual variety. Secondly, it's important to maintain an even distance between your shapes. If certain shapes are placed too closely together whilst others are more spaced out, it can create an imbalance in the final pattern. Keeping a consistent space will make the final pattern appear seamless and harmonious. Lastly, diversifying the colors across the canvas is very important. Placing identical colors side by side might make your pattern look repetitive and monotonous. Instead, aim to distribute the colors in a balanced and varied way and this will enhance the overall look and appeal of your design. That was a decent first try, but I think I can improve it. I'm going to work on a smaller scale this time. I'm going to keep this first attempt by making the layer invisible and create a new one on top to start again. Okay. I think that if I shrink my brush size and spaced out my doodles a bit less, I'll achieve a better outcome. While redrawing my pattern, I'm keeping an eye on how I spread out my colors, shapes, and I'm trying to maintain an even distance in between them. Okay. See how with some of these shapes, I'm having to try a few times until I like one. It's good to not overthink it and have fun in this process. I'm a bit short on ideas right now, so I'm just going to write a number two and move on. As you work on the central motif, you're going to start having an idea on how your final pattern is going to look like. If you're not sure about it, you can always create a new layer and start over again trying new shapes or even trying a new color palette. Once you're happy with your doodles, move on to the next lesson where we're going to create the vertical repeat. A 6. Creating the Vertical Repeat: Now let's dive into creating the vertical repeat. There are plenty of methods out there, but I'm going to show you one simple one that has worked wonders for me. When you're making a repeating pattern, the entire canvas needs to be repeated. I I tap the move icon, you'll notice that the bounding box is only surrounding the pixels within my layers. If I move this around, the repetition is not going to work. I need this bounding box to take in account the whole page. Some people add extra layers within groups to make procreate, consider the whole canvas, but I have found another way to make things easier and a bit more straightforward. So let's exit the move tool and start by duplicating the layer containing the central motif. This way, if something goes wrong during the repeat process, I have the original graphics to go back to. Next, I'm going to make four marks one on each corner of the canvas. See that now if I tap on the move icon, you'll see that the bounding box is surrounding the entire canvas, which is great. This is because there are pixels covering the top and bottom edges of the canvas. Now I can go ahead and swipe three fingers down and tap on duplicates. Now, before moving my canvas to the side, I need to ensure that under the snapping option down in here, the snapping and magnetics tugles are turned on. These options turn my graphics into magnets that snap onto the borders of my canvas or to nearby pixels. With the distance and velocity bars, I can adjust the strength of the snap. Notice how when I move my artwork to the side, it snaps into the vertical center of the canvas. A blue line should appear to indicate that my artwork is aligned to the center of the screen. I'll then move the bottom layer to the other side until it snaps into the vertical center as well. Before merging my layers, it is crucial to zoom in and check for any white lines. If there are any, it means that the repeat hasn't been done correctly and it needs to be done again. If everything is looking correct, I can go ahead and merge my two layers. Now I need to get rid of the marks. I'm going to use the selection tool. Using the free hand option, I'm going to enclose the top mark. Tap on add down here, select the bottom one, swipe three fingers down, and tap on cut. Now my vertical repeat has been done. In the next lesson, I'm going to show you how to fill in this middle gap and adjust things if necessary. 7. Filling the Vertical Gap: Now, the idea is to fill up this middle gap with new doodles and start distributing the ones that we already have if needed. You might find that you need to move certain graphics to one side to make space for new ones. Whilst in other cases, you just need to fill in the gaps with new drawings. Throughout the whole process, I am aiming to maintain a similar distance between my shapes and ensure that I'm using colors mindfully. For example, these lines here aren't strong enough, so I would rather get rid of them and using the purple color, find a new drawing to fill in this middle gap. After trying a few sketches, I think I'm going to go for a number seven to not overthink it. Now, I am analyzing which color I can use in this space, and if there's an area which is big enough to contain a new graphic, a practical way of filling up empty gaps is by drawing small dots or shapes. In this case, I'm going to use the selection tool to move this blue shape, maybe rotated so that it's vertical, and it fits the space nicely and move these two lines as well. After creating loads of patterns, you'll start to see how your eye becomes more trained, making it easier to spot empty spaces or things that don't work properly. When I'm making patterns, I sometimes feel like I'm solving a puzzle, which I really like. I find this super enjoyable and relaxing. In the next lesson, we're going to create the horizontal repeat. A. 8. Creating the Horizontal Repeat: Now we're going to create the horizontal repeat and follow the same steps. So I'm going to start by duplicating my layer. And again, you can see that if I activate the bounding box, it's only surrounding my pixels, so I have to exit this mode and create some marks on each corner. Actually, in this case, I already have some pixels which are going all the way to the vertical edges of my canvas. I want to show you that you can also create the horizontal repeats by making two marks on the top and bottom edges. The only thing here is that you have to calculate and draw the marks one below the other. I'm going to swipe three fingers down to duplicate my layer. And move each layer to one side of the canvas until they snap in the middle. Always making sure to zoom in and check that there are no lines in the middle. If you see a line like this one, it means that you have to start the repeat again. Go back a few steps and try again until it's aligned correctly. In my case, everything looks correct, so I'm going to merge my layers. I'm going to select this middle area, Swipe three fingers down and tap on cut. Now as we did with the vertical edge, we're going to go ahead and fill this middle area. 9. Filling the Horizontal Gap: As we did with the vertical repeat, we're going to fill in this gap. If you feel that you don't have enough space, remember that you can use the azo tool to distribute the drawings that you already have, scaling them down, or even get rid of them. You can also sometimes rotate the canvas with your fingers as this might make the drawing process easier and will help you gain a fresher look over your pattern. And you might even have to redraw the same thing various times until you feel that it finally fits well. See how I'm having to redraw this triangle many times in different directions, as I'm yet not entirely sure that it does. Okay, I think it looks good in here, so now I'm going to move on and draw something in this empty space in here. I'm going to grab the purple color and just draw two lines because it's a small space, and I think they will look good. If you want your pattern to look more dense, you can fill up the empty gaps with little dots or use your brush in a thinner size to fill it up with new doodles. At this point, if you see that there's anything that could be better or is not working properly, you can use a la zoo tool to modify your acids by rotating them or scaling them down a little bit. You can even discard them together and redraw new ones. Just have in mind that you shouldn't scale up and down your acids too much in procreate because they will become blury. Okay, now my pattern is finished. How easy was that? In the next lesson, I'm going to show you how to test your pattern. 10. Testing & Amending Your Pattern: In this lesson, we're going to test our pattern and watch the magic happen. I always find this process super exciting. We're going to visualize the pattern at 50% of the scale, which will help us spot empty areas that need to be filled up with elements or things that just don't work properly. So I'm going to start by duplicating my pattern five times. So I will have four tiles to compose the pattern and one that I will keep at 100%. I'm going to lock the bottom layer and make it invisible. Then I'm going to tap on the move tool and start moving each corner on each layer until they meet in the center. You have to open the layer panel, select each layer, and repeat the process. And now I can see my full pattern, which I love. It's so much fun, and it can be used in a lot of things such as stationary, certain fashion items, kidsware or homework. Now, I want to show you how to amend your pattern if you need to. Let's say, for example, that I want to modify these two lines in here. Before moving on, I'm going to open the layer panel and merge the four layers. So if I want to move these two lines, I can memorize where they are by checking the neighboring drawings. I can see that it has this hash tag to the bottom and this triangle to the top and this gives me an idea of where they are. So if I go to the full pattern, which is at 100%, I can search for the drawings that I had as references, which are in here, using the lazo tool, I can modify this element, get rid of it, or change it altogether. But what happens if I want to modify one of the elements that are on the edges, for example, the seven, The way of doing this is by creating the repeat again. Before showing you, I'm going to duplicate this layer and lock the bottom one and make it invisible. I'm going to duplicate the top one to make the repeat. There's something I want to show you. You don't always have to create the repeat in the exact middle of your canvas. See how if I move the top layer to three quarters and then move the bottom one. This time, the artwork is taking in account the pixels of the layer below. This is to show you that you don't always have to use the middle edges, but the magnet will also work on other pixels. Now that the seven is in the middle, I can merge this layer and modify it. I'm going to select it and get rid of it altogether. Now I'm going to rotate my canvas and start trying to fit a new shape within this space. Maybe an could fit, once more, I'm having to do this several times until I like it. I think this looks great now. Now I have two layers, one containing the newer pattern and this one containing the old one. I'm going to unlock this layer and rename it to be able to recognize them. I'm going to name this one first option. I'm going to lock it because I still want to make sure that I'm keeping it. Rename the top one to second option. No, no MODs. Thank you. Just second option. Up here, I have the first option at 50%, so I'm going to move it down and name it accordingly. I'm going to write first option, 50% and lock this layer. Now I'm going to go ahead and repeat the process of creating the repeat at 50%. Duplicate the layer five times. Rename this one at 100% lock it, make it invisible, and start creating the repeat by moving these corners until they fit in the middle. Finally, merge the four layers, and there you go. Now I have the second option at 50%. And now I have two layers, one containing my previous pattern and one containing the newer version. I always like to keep different versions of my patterns. I can't tell you the amount of times that I have modified a pattern, making lots of changes only to find out that the previous version was much better. I really like keeping the older versions before creating changes. Okay, now we're going to go ahead and test the previous pattern and the new one. I'm going to duplicate the layers which contain the patterns at 50% and move both of them to the top. I'm going to scale these patterns down and put them side by side to see which one I like the most. I can zoom in and then I can compare them side to side, which makes it super easy to see the difference. I actually like better the new version than the one that contains the seven. So I'm going to go ahead and get rid of the first option altogether. You can save the older versions if you want, but I am not a fan of keeping two patterns that are this similar, and I already know which one I like the most. So that's the one I'm keeping. So I have the pattern at 50% and at 100%. In the next lesson, I'm going to show you how to explore different color ways. 11. Exploring Colorways: In this lesson, we're going to explore color ways using the adjustment tools available in procrade. Whilst many of these tools are typically used in photography or to enhance artworks, I love using them to discover new color palettes. I think we all have a colored comfort zone when it comes to composing color palettes and these tools can provide fresh combinations that might surprise you because you probably wouldn't have picked them yourself. I'm going to go back to the gallery and starting by duplicating this file in case something goes wrong. I don't want to lose my original file. So I'm going to name one of the files final pattern, which is going to stay neat and organized, and I'm going to name the other one color ways. In this one, I know that I can get messy merge layers if I need to, knowing that the original organized one is in my gallery. Since it's easier to visualize the pattern at 50%, I'm going to duplicate this layer and start playing with the adjustment tools. If you tap on the magic one, second icon on the left side of your screen, you will see the drop down menu appear. Let's start by tapping on the hue saturation and brightness option. With these bottom bars, you can explore different color ways. You can turn your pattern into black and white by turning the saturation bar to the left or make it very bright saturated by moving the bar to the right. Okay. If you move the hue bar, you will start discovering how your pattern looks over multiple color variations. When you have a small number of colors, the combinations produced tend to be more cohesive and aesthetically pleasing. When a palette is more extensive and has many colors, the variations can lead to clashing colors that might not combine so well. For instance, I really love this particular colorway, so I'm going to keep it by tapping on the layer panel and save this combination. You can save as many options as you want using different layers. I'm going to show you the next method using the original colorway. So once more, I'm going to duplicate this layer, open the adjustment panel, and this time, I'm going to tap on color balance. These changes are more subtle, but still very interesting. Play with these bars, and if there's anything interesting, tap on the layer panel to save it and then keep on playing with new options. If you tap on this sun icon on the right, you can select if you want the changes to affect the shadows or darker colors, med tones or lighter colors. This might end up in a tonal pattern with colors on the same range that can work very well on certain products or seasons. I'm going to leave it there and move on to exploring the curves option. I'm going to tap on my layer panel and duplicate this to show you the curves option. This option is usually used to fine tune the contrast and brightness of an artwork or photograph. Now, I use this option lodes when making patterns as well. In the Gamma option, you can modify and adjust the shadows, mi tones, and highlights individually by moving this line on this graph. You can move the blue notes individually on each corner, and then you have the red, green, and blue channels, which you can modify individually as well. All these options affect the color way differently and you can create new blue nodes by tapping on this line. You can move these notes up and down and just keep on playing with these options until you like something. I, for example, love this option as it's super summary and looks quite fresh. So I'm going to tap on the layers can and commit to the changes. And lastly, we're going to explore the gradient options which I also love. On this list at the bottom of your screen, you'll see different options which come by default. And if you tap and hold your pen down, you can start moving it side to side and start visualizing how each gradient affects your pattern. Now, let's see how to create a new gradient. If you tap on this plus icon, you'll see this black and white bar. The colors located at the right side of the bar control the lightest colors, and the ones on the left control the darker ones. By tapping on the squares, you will display this menu where you can select a new color using any of these methods, and you can also move them to the right and to the left. See how your pattern changes. If you want to create a new color, you can tap anywhere on the bar, and you can create as many colors as you want. See how you can change the order of the colors by moving them right and left. If you want to erase the colors, you'll have to tap and hold on the squares and just stop on delete. As I said before, all of these colored options in take me out of my colored comfort zone, and some of the palettes are really lovely. Sometimes what I like to do is to save this palette, so I'm going to go ahead and save this palette right here. I have this palette down here, but this box is quite big so I can save my second palette right in here. I'm going to start long holding my finger on all the colors using the colored drop option, and tapping on these squares to start saving them. You can save as many palettes as you like to use on future patterns. Also, don't forget to explore your pattern on different backgrounds. It's incredible the amount of variations that you can gain with one single pattern using colorways. Sometimes when creating these colorways, I also like to save them as JPX. This allows me to show them to clients, publish them on Instagram, and even ask my followers which of the colorways they like the most. As you say when using these methods, the color modifications are applied into all of the colors. In the next lesson, I'm going to show you how to separate your colors into layers to gain more control when it comes to creating colorways. 12. Separating Colors into Layers: So. As you saw in the previous lesson, the adjustment tools can be great for exploring new color ways in a fan and super easy way. However, these options tend to modify all the colors simultaneously. In this lesson, I'm going to show you how to separate the colors into different layers. This will allow you to easily adjust individual colors without affecting the entire pattern, giving you a greater control over the design process. Separating colors into layers is also a standard practice in the professional design world. Your file will look more professional, well organized, and other designers or customers will be able to edit the colors easily. I'm going to close the file which contains the color ase and open the original one. I'm going to get rid of this bottom layer because I'm not going to be using these graphics anymore, and I'm going to separate the colors of the pattern which is at 100%. Tap on the selection tool and select the free hand option below. Now, start closing the drawings that contain the same color. After selecting one, you can down here to add another drawing to your selection. And once you have selected everything, swipe three fingers down and tap on cut and paste. If I open my layer panel, you can see that this color is now on its own layer. I'm going to make it invisible to recognize the ones that are already separated and move on to the next color. Always be mindful of the corners to avoid missing any areas. So I'm going to select all the orange drawings, swipe three fingers down and tap on cotton paste. I'm going to repeat this process with all the colors until they are separated into their own layers. And now I'm going to go ahead and select all the layers and put them into a group to keep things organized. Now let's see how to neatly modify each of these colors separately. I am not a fan of keeping more than one colorway per file because when I'm in the main gallery, sometimes they're invisible and I cannot see them. I'm going to start by going to the main gallery and duplicating this file first before creating a new colorway. I could use the color drop option to fill each of these graphics, but not only would it be quite time consuming, but it wouldn't look neat. So the way to do this is to start by activating the alphack option on all of the layers by swiping two fingers to the right, and then you can tap one of the colors of the new color way. Tap on a layer and tap on fill layer. This will color all of the shapes contained within the layer, and it's not only going to be much faster, but the result is cleaner and much better. I'm going to use the palette that I actually saved in the previous lesson to color this new pattern and select one color per layer. This last one is too similar to the previous one, so I'm going to search for a new color that combine nicely with this color way like this blue one. Save it on my palette, and then apply it to the last layer. This is a very effective method. And if you want to see the palette at 50%, it's also very quick to do so, and you now know how to do it. Now, if I go back to my gallery, I can recognize the files which contain the colors separated in layers because they're named final pattern. In the next lesson, we're going to explore our pattern over a few mockups that I have left for you in the project and resources section of this class. 13. Visualizing Your Pattern on Mockups: Now that our pattern is finished, we're going to explore how it looks on top of different mocaps. Visualizing patterns on mops is incredibly useful for several reasons. It can help you make informed decisions about colors and scale and even spot errors if there are any. You can use mocaps to showcase your work professionally as part of your portfolio or share them on social media. You will be able to test the reactions of your followers or potential clients without the need of spending money, printing physical samples. I'm going to go back to the gallery, tap on Import and search for the folder that contains the mops that I downloaded. I'm going to start by importing this stain bottle. When you open any of these molcps and open the layer panel, you will see various layers. In this case, I have left the bottle and the strap in different layers so that you can change the colors individually if you want, and the rest of the image containing the context and the background is on its own layer. Let's import one of our color ways into this molcp to visualize how our pattern would look in this stained bottle. I'm going to open the file which contains my original pattern, and I'm also going to create a version at 25%. This will allow me to check two different sizes on my bottle. I'm going to unlock my pattern at 50% and select both layers by swiping them to the right. Hold my pen down. See how I can de attach them from the layer stack. Tap on the gallery word with my other hand, open the stained bottle and drop them in here. This is how you import layers from one document to the other by the way. I'm going to move these two layers to the bottom of everything and see how now you can visualize them on the stained bottle. I quite like the larger scale, but I'm going to make it a bit smaller. It's important to be aware that when you scale graphics up and down in procrete they tend to lose their quality quite quickly. Since this is only a preview, I don't mind if things get a bit blurry, and in any case, it's better to scale things down rather than making them larger. If you want, you can activate the background layer and change the background color. This is so much fun. You can save as many versions of this bottle as you want. You can add them to your portfolio or even share them on social media. Now, if you do share them on social media, I would appreciate if you can tag me at Sylvia Spina Art so that this class can reach to more people. At this point, you can keep using the adjustment tools to try new colorways. Sometimes I find easier to find colorways that I like when I can visualize the pattern on a product. Okay. Let's see another mockup. This time, I'm going to import this Christmas winter cushion. I have made a very simple Christmas pattern as an example for this class to show you different things that you can create. I'm going to import this layer to my cushion, move the layer to the bottom and make it smaller. If the snapping option is on, you might struggle when moving or scaling items, so you can always deactivate this option. Once more, I can activate the background color and try it over different backgrounds. Using mocaps is also a great way to be able to show your patterns to potential customers without the need of printing any samples. For instance, if you want to create some cushions for Christmas, now you can test the colors, ask your family or the people that you want to give them to which colors they like, and then go ahead and print the fabric that you want to use. One more mocap before I end up this lesson. This time, I'm going to import this summary cushion, and we're going to see how different mocaps can help you showcase patterns for different seasons. This time, I'm going to import this playful pattern with bright colors. I'm going to deatach the layer, go to the cushions file, and drop it in here. As you can see, these patterns are not only quick and fun to create, but they're also incredibly versatile. They can be adapted to fit a wide variety of products, making them suitable for different seasons and markets. Whether you're designing for summer apparel, winter accessories, home decor, kids wear or stationery, these patterns can seamlessly transition across various products and markets. Once you're done testing your patterns over these mocaps, please share them in the project and resources gallery of this class. I can't wait to see what you create. 14. Publishing Your Project: There is no better way to learn that than by actually doing, and I hope that you have enjoyed creating your patterns whilst following along with this class.

Below, you can add some text and share some thoughts about your creative process. Feel free to add as many images as you want, showcasing different color ways, how your patterns look on mops and anything that you want to share with me, I would love to see. You can make your project private by taking on this box that says, make your project private. And lastly, you can add some relevant tags such as pattern design, procreate or digital art.

In the next lesson, I'm going to share a few classes to help you expand your procreate skills. 15. Final Thoughts and Next Steps: Thank you so much to all of you who got to this point. I hope that you have enjoyed this class as much as I have enjoyed putting it together. My aim is for you to feel not just inspired but also empowered to keep creating loads of fun patterns appropriate with the skills that you have learned in this class. Before we wrap up this class, I have a few recommendations for you. In the near future, I will be teaching classes on how to create patterns using a botanical library of images. And you can start building your own botanical library by taking my class. From procreate to Canva, turn your digital illustrations into botanical designs. In this class, I'm going to teach you how to create a set of stunning flowers and flige that you can use in your future patterns or projects. Now, if you're new to procreate and want to master all the tools in depth, I recommend taking my class digital illustrations, a beginner guide to master in Procreate. In this class, you're going to learn all the tools in depth and you'll be ready to take more advanced classes. Class, you'll create a set of trendy fruits that can be incorporated into your future patterns. If you enjoy this class, please review it.
