1. Intro: Hey, I'm Maya Faber. I'm a surface
pattern designer and online teacher with over
100,000 students worldwide. In this class, I'm going
to teach you how to create a Christmas themed mini pattern
collection in Procreate. We will explore how
to find inspiration from a specific theme
and how to work with seasonal Christmas
colors to make your mini collection look cohesive and on point
for the holiday. I will guide you step by step on how to create a
pattern from scratch in Procreate and how to use Pataleyo templates to make the entire process more
fun, easy, and seamless. This class, I'm using my free Power PAC Procreate brush set, featuring 20 on my favorite
procreate brushes, including two Paal
layout templates that I will show you how to
use during the lessons. Using the Power
Pack is optional, but I highly recommend
it to follow along and get the most out of the
learning experience. You can download this Procreate
brush sit on my website, and there's a link to it in
the download lesson in class. This is a fun creative class, perfect for anyone
looking to practice designing pattern collections
around a specific theme. You will need a basic
understanding of Procreate and have created at least a few patterns before. I would recommend that if you never made a pattern
in Procreate, check out my class on
creating an editable pattern with color variations before
diving into this one. And if you're eager to dive even deeper into pattern design, be sure to check
out Pattern Rebels, my membership program. In Pattern Rebels, you will get monthly access to classes, design resources like
procreate brushes, color palettes, Mckaps and
pattern layout templates. Plus, we will have monthly design challenges,
feedback sessions, and Q&A opportunities
where you can ask me anything about design or
running a creative business. You can learn more at
pattern rebels.com. So with all of this
said, let's get started with our mini Christmas
pattern collection.
2. Your Project: This class, your
project is to create your own Christmas themed mini pattern
collection in Procreate. Your collection will include
at least three patterns inspired by the Christmas theme and using a seasonal
color palette. Feel free to use my
Powerpack Procreate brush set to make the process easier or work with
your own brushes. Once you've completed
your mini collection, share your patterns in
the project gallery. I can wait to see
what you create.
3. Downloads & Resources: This class, you
will have access to my free Procreate
Power Pack brush set, which includes 20 of my favorite brushes designed to streamline your
pattern making process. The set also features
two pattern layouts, which I will show you how
to use during the class. Using the Power PAC is optional, I highly recommend it for the best possible
learning experience. To download the brush set, you can tap and download the
PDF from the product and resources here in class and
tap the link in the PDF, or you can go to
maafava.com slash POWEPAC. Here you will write
your name and your email address and tap
Download your freebie, and that will bring your
download to your inbox. I've also included a free procreate
premade color palette. With Christmas themed colors, feel free to use this color
palette for your designs, or you can choose your
own color palette when you draw your collections. I will show you how to
do that in class two. There's a link to download the color palette
in the PDF as well. For inspiration, I'm using my
Pinterest Christmas board. I made this board
specifically for you. Feel free to stick to just using this pre made
board as inspiration. Or if you want to take
it a step further, you can gather more inspiration
on Pinterest yourself. There's a link to this board
here in class as well. If you're interested in
downloading and using the Procreate mockups that I'm showing you quickly
here in this class, you can subscribe to my Para Rebos membership and the All Access
membership plan, and that will bring you these five stunning Procreate mockups. It's not a must at all
to use these mockups, but I just wanted
to show you them and let you know how to
get your hands on them. So these are exclusive for my Para ebos members in the
All Access membership plan.
4. Sketching the Collection: So let's start to
sketch our collection. I will move back into Procreate, and I can tap gallery here. You can choose any format
of the canvas to drain. Maybe you enjoy
using screen size. I usually use squares
because I create most of my patterns
on square parentiles. So I will just go
for square here. I will tap the
plus in Procreate, and let's tap the plus
folder to add a new Canvas, and my standard size is 3,000 pixels in width and in
height and 300 DPI. That will bring me
204 layers maximum. It might bring you
less amount of layers. That all depends on the
storage of your iPad, but you don't need 200
layers for this class. And then I tap color profile, and I choose the first SRGB under display Pete this
one. And then I tap create. That is my standard size and standard format of my
procreate Canvases. The very first thing
that we want to do here is just to bring up
the Pinterest board. I will tap the
three little dots, tap split view, tap Pinterest, and I like to have my window at the left and then
drawing at the right. So just tap back into the board, and I wanted to show
you in this lesson, how I sketch for my patterns and also how I've chosen
my Christmas colors. Because in this class, this pre made color
palette is included, and you can choose to
just use it as it is. I will actually
later on in class, but I wanted to show you
how I chosen these colors. So you can go ahead
and do the same. I'm using the
Powerpack brush set. You can use any
brush you want to. Lately, I've been enjoying using this dry acrylic
to kind of make my sketches with and maybe
not for the pencil sketches, but for the color sketches. So I would choose that one,
and I can first of all, let me just show you how to use the Pintresbard to
choose Christmas colors. So what I do then is typically just to scroll through
my inspiration. And I can see where I want
to go with my colors. Do I want to go for a
more traditional theme? Here are a lot of
traditional themed images, or do I want to go for something
a little bit more crazy? I definitely want to go for something that is
more traditional, and I would probably
like to have several different green so
I would just tap my brush, dry acrylic, bring
out my colors here, and then I would just go for different greens that kind of matches the images
that I see here. And oops, a little bit bigger
brush, maybe around 30%. No, maybe around 14% so that I can get some
blobes here with color. So this is pretty
similar to that. I really like how
the more grass green are a good contrast to, you know, this more
softer pastel green. So I can just try out some
more grass green colors. So at the beginning,
when I choose my colors, I just try out different colors like this and see
which ones I like, which ones fit together. Oops. And kind of just experiment with where I want to go
from here with my design. So I always use a few
different like hues, some lighter, some darker, of the same type of color. Maybe I want to go for something that is a little
bit more yellow. So here I have a bunch
of different greens. Then I could go for something, maybe even darker and like, softer, maybe
something like that. No, maybe something like that. Okay. So then I have a
bunch of different greens, maybe some lighter as well. You can decide yourself, like when you're
happy with you know, your color experimentation here, but this is typically
how I choose a palette. And for this color palette, it's not that hard
because I know that I want some traditional Christmas colors like red and green, and I think that I want to add something either pink or yellow. So first of all, let's go for some kind of
red or pinkish red. I think I want more like, softer red than bright
red, maybe like that, maybe even darker,
maybe a brighter one, and then some kind of more pink. Maybe, like, a dusty
pink I can try and then lighter pink. Remove that one there, and then even lighter one. Okay, so already here, you can see that I have a
bunch of different colors, and that is how I start to
choose a color palette. And then when I create my
sketches for the patterns, I kind of choose which colors
that fit good together. So for now, I will leave these. I just wanted to show you how I picked up my color palette. But from now on in this class, I will use my premade
Christmas color palette. But it works exactly the same. Instead of choosing from
the premade palette, I could as well,
choose from this one. The next thing that
I want to do is to draw my three patterns, the sketches on my
three patterns. So there's not much space here, but what I want to do
first is just to let's just rename this
layer the colors so we can separate the
layers a little bit, but it's not that important as this is
just a quick sketch. I will tap the plus
to add a new here, and I can rename this to
let's rename it to squares. This step is
definitely optional. I kind of like it for just like a visual way of telling my brain that
I'm supposed to draw. Oops, supposed to
draw three patterns. So I make three squares just
with the perfect pencil. And you could just
skip this part and go straight to
the background. But I enjoy just having
these squares here. So I know that I'm supposed
to draw three patterns. Pretty simple. But for
me, that works great. And then I will tap
to add a new layer, and here I renamed
the background. So as you can see, I'm still using different layers
because it will be easier to change the background colors
and the colors of the motifs just so I can experiment
with this canvas. For the background, let's
just use the dry acrylic. And I definitely want or I think that I want the cream white background
for the hero pattern. So I'm using the
cream white from the Christmas colour palette
and the dry acrylic. And now it might
look stupid because I'm drawing over
this square again. And that's just how
it works for me. I like the idea of that, that if I would remove
the background, I would still have the
square underneath. So first, I could just
experiment with one pattern, but for me, I will start
with the backgrounds, and then I will continue
with the motifs. So for the next one, I'm thinking that I might do, like, a holly pattern here with greenery and leaves and berries. And then I want to
do some kind of stripes patterns and maybe
a checkerboard pattern. So I'm keeping two
patterns pretty simple and one a little
bit more complex. I might want to use the
white for this one, as well. The opacity went down, so I'm bringing that up again. I'm just trying
things out. I might. If I'm thinking that
this is the secondary, then I'm thinking that
that might be like a checkerboard pattern because then I can use many
different colors. And then I might want to use like a green
background for this one. Let's just try that out and we can see if we want
to change it later on. Okay, so now we have
the backgrounds, and it's time to start
to draw our motifs. I will start with the
hero pattern over here. So I will keep the
backgrounds on one layer and I will
tap to add a new layer. And here I can just
rename this two motifs, and I can choose to draw all of the motifs for all of the
patterns on one layer. And I think actually, I will do that in this sketch. So with the dry acrylic
or with another brush, any brush that you want to use, I will go ahead and just
try to draw these, like Um, holly leaves. So let me just try that out. I'm not sure if I want
to use this brush. Et's try out some
different brushes here. So that is the dry acrylic,
maybe the dry ink. You don't have to choose
the brush that you are going to draw your
final pattern with here, but I just want a good, like, a nice look in my sketch so that my idea comes out correctly. I like that better. And I also really enjoy the tape
or texture brush. So let's try that one out. That has a really
nice texture to it. Let's just sketch with
the taper textibush. So I would tap the transform
tool and just bring out those leaves so that I can start again
on an empty layer. Okay, so let's
sketch some leaves. I have an idea in my
head, which is two. You could also, of course, sketch here with a perfect
pencil or something like that at first and then bring
on the color later on. So if I would do that,
this is how I would do it. I wanted to show
you that as well. My idea is to have just
simple leaves like that, maybe, and like a toast pattern. With simple motifs,
and I want to toss the motifs around so that the pattern will be working from all different directions. The important part here is just so that I myself
understand the idea. It doesn't need to be perfectly tossed or anything like that. And then I would
like some berries. So the actual idea is to
make kind of simple pattern. I can already see that
it's a little bit maybe a little bit too airy and that I would want it
a little bit dense. So that is how I would do, like, the sketch in that case. Sometimes, most of
the time I would just skip that part and go for colors on this sketching
of the collection. But I would just
rename this to motifs. Sketch or Motifs Sketch and then rename a new
layer to Motifs color. Okay, so on the
motifs color layer, I will go for the brush that
I wanted, the taper texture. You can bring down the opacity of the sketch if you want to. So tap the N on
the sketch layer. And on the motifs color, I would go ahead with my
premade color palette. You could also
choose these colors, but I'm going for my
premade color palette, and then I'm going to
use the colors to draw the different motifs here in
6% with the taper texture. I'm drawing the
different leaves. Quickly but still in a way where I get my
full idea out on paper. So I want different
green colors. I would just try the green
colors out like this. And choose several different. I haven't decided
yet how many colors, but I definitely
want the green or the leaves to be
different green colors. And maybe that one or maybe
this one could be that one. And I could go for a darker one. That brings a lot of contrast. I'm not sure that I want
that much contrast. Actually, probably not. I would remove that
and I could go for the very grass green
again over here. As you can see, I'm doing
this really quickly just to get an idea of the
colors and the motifs, and then I could go for this
screen over here again. So the idea is good,
I think, here. And then I want to
go for berries. I would do like pink
and red, kind of mixed. And I probably want some
details on the actual leaves. So what I will do
is just to select a darker color for
all of the leaves. Here is a darker
color for that one. It's the same for this one. Here is the darker
grass green color, and here is a darker
color like that. Okay, so that is my idea
of the hero pattern. And I think that that's enough. Let's see if we can add some texture on that or
something like that, but I'm keeping it simple. The next pattern that
I want to do is, I think a hacker board pattern. That would look good as
Christmas products like wrapping paper and
things like that. So then I would just
go ahead and create. Maybe I could do, like, white. I will just do squares here. So I will do red square and then maybe a green over there. And maybe a pink over here. I think it's
probably enough with two colored squares per row. So that is four
squares per row there. And then another green and I might want this one to be darker and this
one to be lighter. I can just draw on top, or I can just go
ahead and try to fill that color or fill that
square with a new color. So maybe something like that, and then maybe I should repeat
if it's simple like that, or I could go for more colors. But I will just try
to repeat these, and then I would want to skip one Um diagonal square
down like this. The important part here is that you understand
what you mean. So we can always change these colors
later on when we are creating the actual pattern. And then we go for the pink. So it's like pink
green, pink green. Which color was that? I can go for a larger brush size
so that it takes less time, pink green, pink
green, pink green. And this should be No, this should be red. Okay, so that's one idea. And then I have an idea for
the checkerboard pattern. And here I want to
make a simple like maybe stripes or
maybe I could go for, like, a simple stripe like this, or I could go for no
stripes in both directions. Like squares like that. So that might work good. Now I can go in and see if I want to change any
of the backgrounds. I will tap the background layer, and let me just tap and drag to see if we change the
color of that background. How would that look? That's a more like bright
mini collection. I really like the look of that, but I'm not sure yet. I don't want to change
the color of this. That will be too dark. So I think maybe this background that I will experiment with. That also looks really nice. Let's just keep it green for now and we might change
the color later on. Then you can go in on
the motifs color layer and change the colors
of the motifs. Let's just try to
change the colors of the squares here.
Continue filling. You can go in and when you
tap and drag your color, you can bring down the
threshold so that you don't recolor
everything and then continue filling and
fill out your squares. So just try your
colors out here and see which colors you want
in the different patterns, and it doesn't need to
be set in stone here. We can always change our mind later on when we
create the pattern, but it's good to have, like, a basic idea of what we
want to create in this
5. Make a Pattern Template: So now we have sketched
dar collection. I will swipe away
Pinterest Tap Gallery. And here we have our sketch. I will just rename it to sketch. And then I can select that one and I will save
it to my camero so that I can use it as kind of inspiration when I
draw my final motifs. So in this lesson, we will
make a pattern template, which is the groundwork of being able to easily create patterns
later on in class. So just follow my lead here. If you don't understand
what we're doing. That doesn't matter right now, do it and we will
use it later on. So tap the plus to
add a new Canvas, and I will tap plus here, and I will use the
same measurements, 3,000 pixels in
width and in height, and 300 in DPI color
profile is RDB, the first one under
display P tree. Then I tap create and here I have my canvas to
create my pattern template. So what we do is that we fill different
colors with layers. So we have layer
one, tap and fill, and tap to add a new layer and just choose
different colors. It doesn't matter which
colors you're choosing. You can also tap the layer, tap fill layer, tap the
plus to add a new layer, and you can choose different
colors if you want to, or you can choose
the same color, but it's easier to
see if you choose different colors and
then fill layer. So here you have your
pattern template in the beginning of
the pattern template. What we do now when we have four layers is to tap the layer, tap the transform tool, tap in the top left corner node, make sure that you
have the chain symbol tapped in and then
type in 1,500. Then I will tap the layers panel again, tap layer number three, tap in the transform tool, and in the top
right corner node, and type in 1,500. Then I will tap layer two, tap the transform tool, the bottom left corner
node, and 1,500. And then the next layer, tap the transform tool, the bottom right corner node, and type in 1,000. Oops. Something happened there, do and tap in the bottom
right corner node and 1,500. Now I have four layers
that are perfectly fitted to the outer parts of my canvas and they're half
of the size of the canvas. What's the most important
part here is that you don't accidentally
nudge anywhere on the screen when you
have selected any of these squares because
that will leave you with white lines
in your pattern. If you're experiencing getting white lines in your patterns, I would recommend
checking out my class about leveling up your
pattern design in Procreate, and all of my tips and
tricks about how to avoid white lines in your appropriate patterns
are in that class. But now we have
these four squares, and what we do is
to tap the layer, layer four, tap select, and then we tap Save and load and tap the plus to choose
that as selection one. Then we tap the next layer, tap select, save and load, tap the plus, and now we select this square as
selection number two. Then we tap the next layer, tap select, then we
tap Save and load, the plus, and that will
bring us Selection three. Then we tap the next layer, tap Select, save a load and tap plus and
selection number four. So now we have four
different selections. Here, if we tap the
selection tool and select, we can see that we have our
four different selections. We'll tap the selection
tool to deselect, and here we can just
swipe these together and just use them as a guide layer for our
pattern template. Now you can tap Gallery and rename this to
pattern template. And I will show you later on in class how to use this template.
6. Hero Pattern: Sketching: So it's time to start
with the fun part. We are going to create
our first pattern, and I'm going to start
with the hero pattern, this like holly
leaves and berries. And what we will do is to
duplicate our pattern template. So I will select that
one, tap duplicate. And then let me just rename
that to Hi H leaves maybe. And then I can tap
into this canvas. You can clear the first layer because we don't
need those squares. And here we have our
pattern template, which we will use to create the actual repeat of
the pattern later on. And then what I want to do
is to bring out our sketch. So I will tap the actions
panel reference image, and you will tap Import
and import the image that we saved from our sketch to our little reference
window over here. What we are creating
is this pattern. I will just zoom in on
it if you don't really remember what it was that your idea was, what
you wanted to create. You can also fetch colors from
here and things like that. So I will bring down that reference window
so that it's small, and then I have my
canvas squared. The very first thing
that we will do in this lesson for this
hero pattern is to use a pattern layout that you can find in the Power
Pack brush set, and we are using the
tossed rectangles layout. So this is one out
of two that are free to use for both
personal and commercial use, and that is included in my free Power Pack
Procrit brush set. If you're interested in
getting more pattern layouts, I have a full
pattern too kit with 25 pattern layouts.
Looks like this. And in my membership Pan rebos you will also
get one new pattern layout each month amongst a bunch of other things that you will get monthly
in the membership. So if you're interested
in getting more, you can just check out my
website, pattern rebos.com. So let's continue
with this lesson. The tos trek tangos pale layout. I will choose that
one, and I can just bring out my
color panel over here, and let's just go for
black as my color. With that one selected, I will choose a size
that is about 60% because I want it to fit
inside of my canvas. I don't want any edges
to be cut off like that. I want to just stamp one time so that all of this is
inside on my canvas. Then I tap the transform
tool and tap fit to Canvas. Then I will tap the layers panel and I can rename
this layer to lay out and now you can draw on
top of this layout layer. The layouts are made to use as guides when we have
drawn our motifs. So this example
on this layout is that you can see different rectangles and
different numbers. So the idea is that you can use the same motif in number four here as in number four there, you can either use
the full same motif or you can use the same colors. So what we will do
in this class is to draw different motifs. We would draw holly leaves
in these rectangles, but we would draw one
each in each of these, and then we will
reuse the colors. So four and four will
be the same colors, one and one will be the same, three and three and two and two. And that way, you will get a really nice balance with
the colors in the pattern. So the first thing that we do
is to tap the layout layer, tap the end symbol, and drag down the
opacity to around 15%, so that you can still
see the layout, but you can draw on top of it. Now we can make a choice. So we can either
sketch our pattern. I think that we would do that
with like a sketch pencil, or you can draw these
leaves right away. But I will use a
sketching pencil, so tap that a new layer, and then I will use
the perfect pencil. You can use black as your
color or any other color, and I will just rename
this to sketch. So it all depends on
how you enjoy creating. If you don't enjoy creating
sketches that much, you can move ahead and just
draw the actual leaves. So what I will do is just to start to draw these like holly leaves a little bit more
detailed than this sketch. But at the same time, this
is just kind of to see the balance of the pattern before we draw our final motifs. So I'm still pretty quick, but I want to be a little bit more detailed than when I created this
really rough sketch. So I will draw on the rectangles that are within my canvas. I can either even bring down the opacity of the layout
layer a little bit. I will tap in the layout
layer and bring that down so that I can
clearly see my sketch. So here I have a few leaves, and then I can see that I
want to add some of them, you know, the dots
that I had in mind, adding here so some of them might be one, some
of them might be two. And here I might
feel that this one is a little bit too small, so I could either
just erase that one. I'm using the
monoline one brush on the eraser and a big
eraser brush size. And I think that I want a
little bit bigger leaf here so that it makes the
pattern more balanced. Maybe like that.
And then I'm just, you know, placing some of these. I'm not sure where I want them, but I'm
just trying things out. The next part is to
flip the pattern around and draw the
rest of the leaves. So what we will do then is to add a background layer first. So I'll tap the plus, to add a new layer,
rename it to background. And then I will tap and drag the background layer
beneath the layout layer, and I will just go for
completely white here in the sketch and tap the
layer tap fill layer. Then I will swipe
to the right on these three layers, tap group. Now I will tap the group, tap the selection
tool if this isn't working for you and you get an error message that
looks like this. What you need to do is to
tap one of the layers, tap the selection tool, and make sure that you don't have
color fill selected. Because if you do
have color fill selected and try to select
the group, you will get this. So you just tap Cancel, tap into one of the
layers, selection tool, unchecked color fill, and that should work to
select a full group. If it still doesn't work, you can just select
the layers in the. But I'm selecting the group, and then I tap the
selection tool, Save and load selection four, or you can start with
one if you want to. I'm starting with the four,
tap the Transform tool, flip vertical, and
flip horizontal. Then I'm tapping the selections
tool to deselect and tap it again to select selection
three and save and load, tap the transform tool, flip vertical and
flip horizontal, tap the selection tool again
to deselect and tap it again and selection two and save
and load, the transform tool, flip vertical and
flip horizontal, tap the selection tool
again to deselect and tap it again to select
Save and load selection one, tap the transform tool, flip vertical, and flip horizontal. And then I will go in and draw the rest of the leaves here on the sketch layer with a perfect pencil
black as my color, and continue to draw
these hoy a leaf motifs. So it might be so that we want to rotate some of
these motifs later on. It all depends on what you're
drawing in these templates. So here we have pretty
pointy motifs, and that way, we will see that they are directed really clearly
in the same direction. And so it might be so that we want to change the direction a little bit from the layout. The layout is made for
you to have a start. But as you can see
here, I can already see that this doesn't
look that nice because both of these
and that one and that one is on the
same direction. So this way, I would tap the selection
tool and I can just rotate. I will tap the number two here, tap the transform tool and just rotate it
up a little bit. So if you would have more like round objects
or I don't know, maybe strawberries,
something like that, then it could be a
better direction to draw them exactly like
they are in the rectangle. I know I have a pattern with butterflies and that
one looks super good in the direction that the rectangles
here are drawn in. So I'll just make
sure that these aren't like all in
the same direction. Just a little bit twisted up and down or
something like that. Try this one again. Maybe it should be in this way. No, should be in that way, but a little bit flatter,
maybe like that. I might also want to
make them larger, but let's try this out first. And we will add some
I will actually turn off the layout layer so that
I can see my motifs here, and I can see that I
actually want this one to be bigger because I don't want
that much space in between. So maybe like that,
and this one could also be a little bit
longer maybe like that, and then I could
probably move that one. So now we're doing a little
bit more detailed work here. This one might be twisted some more to kind of
fill in the space there, and this one should
probably be bigger. I could even try
to flip it around, actually, and just
choose free form, and I could tap this yellow
litter box to move it with my object with the direction of my
object so that the square or rectangle around my object
is in the same direction. And then I could just try things out, see
how it would look. If I would twist it a bit, I think that this
would look good. And then I could twist this
one around a little bit more. Maybe in that direction and I'm doing the same with the
yellow litter box there, maybe making it a
little bit fatter. Okay, so now I think that I
have a good balance here. So I will add some of
these little berries, two here, one there, maybe one there, two here, to make that look a
little bit flowing. Maybe that's good. Yeah,
something like that. Now it's time to
try out the sketch. So I will swipe down
with three fingers, tap copy all, tap at the
top on my Layers panel, swipe down with three
fingers, tap paste, and then I will tap split view, the three letter dots,
split view, Safari. And here I have the pan tester, which is a free tool
to use on my website. I will tap the Layers panel, tap my flattened image, and drag it into my pan tester, and swipe away Procreate. And here I can see
how the pattern is repeated if it's something that I want to change
and things like that. So I think that it
looks really good. I can see that one thing
that I want to do is to add a little dot to the left of the most black part
of the leave there. So I will move back to Procreate and delete that flattened image, tap the sketch layer, and maybe I can just add
a little thing there, or maybe it should be over here. It could probably be over
there because then it will be over there. That would probably look good. And now I can try out the
pattern in Procreatees. I will site down with
three fingers, tap, copy all, swipe down with
three fingers, tap paste, tap and drag my
flattened image on top of all of the layers, and then I will swipe
to the right to duplicate so that
I get four copies. Then I will tap the
transform tool, tap in the top left corner node, and type in 1,500 pixels. Make sure you have the
chain symbol tapped in, and then tap in the next layer, tap the transform to, and in the top right corner
node and 1,500 pixels, and tap in the next layer. Swim out a bit,
tap in the bottom left cornonde 1,500 pixels, and the next layer,
tap the transform tool and in the bottom right
cornon node on 1,500 pixels. Now we can swipe these together
to merge them and see. And I think that this
looks really good. We can make a few
changes when we draw the actual motifs in the next lesson if we
want to change something. But for now, this
sketch is good, and I will continue with.
7. Hero Pattern: Make the Pattern: Let's move on to make
the actual pattern here. First, I will just tap
into my color palette, the Christmas color
palette that I have here. And I have this sketch
as a flattened image, but I don't need that anymore. So I'll just delete that. And I have the layout here, but I only need that when I'm supposed to choose the colors. So the first thing that
I will do is just to tap in on the sketch
layer and bring down the opacity to around 15% or something like that so that
I can draw on top of that. And the first thing
that I would do before anything is to choose
the background layer, and I will choose
this cream white instead and tap the background
layer and tap field layer. So I have the
background. Cream white. The next thing that I want to do is to start to
draw my motifs. So I will tap the sketch
layer and tap the plus, and here I will choose
different colors per layer. So when I'm choosing
the pink color, I will draw everything
that's pink on one layer and everything that's this light
green color on one layer. That way, it will be
easier to recolor the patterns later on if
I would want to do that. So let's just start with
drawing the leaves. And we can start
with, as you can see, we have like three and three, two and two, four, and
four and one and one. So we want the same colors here. So let's start with this
one, the number two. And I will start with this, the lightest of
the green colors. And for this, I want to use
the taper texture brush. So let me just see what size. Let's try around 11%,
and I'm using this one. I will just turn off
the visibility of the layout layer
because that one is a little bit in the way. And with the taper texture, I will draw this leaf. That's probably a
good brush size. Around 11%. I want
to try to keep the edge is a little bit pointy. So then it's good with the
brush that aren't too big. And this brush has a lot of
nice texture already in it, so I will just fill in instead I do the color fill because if
I would just tap and drag, you will get a flat solid color, and that is not what I want. So I will just continue
to fill this one out. If you think it's hard to
have the sketch so visible, you can always bring that
down a little bit more. So I'm around 10%
now in the sketch. And I'm feeling it in. Like that. And then let me just even that one
out a little bit more. Yeah, that looks nice. And then I can tap the
cards here because usually they have named the
green different greens. But as you can see, it's
like grayish green, grayish green, dark green,
blue, green, blue, green. So you can just rename them
as you want to yourself. I would call this
just light green. Or I don't know what to call it. We could also call
it like green one. So if we think that this is
green one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, so I will call
this green one. So tap the layer, tap rename and type in
green one, for example. So everything that's drawn in this color will
be on this layer. The next thing that I want
to do is to add the lines. I will tap the plus
to add a new layer. And here I will just right line. And I want the other color
the green two there, and then tap the layer, tap clipping mask
with the same brush. I can see if I can just draw
a line here at the center. I think that's good enough. Then I will actually swipe to the right on both
of these to group them just to keep track of my colors
and name this green one. So we have that here. And if we have a look at
the layout now, turn off the sketch layer, you can see that let's just tap and drag the layout layer on
top of all of the layers. You can see that this
one is number two, and this one is number two. So when we flip the
pattern around, I will draw this one in the same color on
the green one layer. Okay, but let's move on. Turn on the sketch layer to
number three, for example. So I'll tap the plus
to add a new layer. And let's just use this
like forest green. That's green number eight. So I will rename
that to green eight. And choose that color with the same brush on the green eight layer,
and draw this one. So I will off the No,
turn off the layer layer, and on the green eight layer, I will draw this leaf. You don't need to follow
the sketch exactly, but you need to kind
of just keep it in the right direction and
make a nice looking leaf. Oops. That one's supposed to
go out a little bit more. Okay. That's good. And then filling it in. Like this filling in the colors. I can make the top here a little bit more
pointy if I want to. Filling in this
forced green color. Like that. That curve looks a
little bit strange. That probably looks better. Okay, so I'm happy
with this for now. Then I tap the plus in the layers panel
to add a new layer, and I will just rename it
to line, tap the layer, tap clipping mask, and then
I will go for the darker one of those two
forest green colors and just draw a line. Down there. That looks good. Swipe it right on
both of those layers, tap the group, tap rename the group and
rename to green eight. Okay. Now we can just move on and see on the layout layer, turn on the visibility there, and we will draw this one. I will tap the plus. I can turn off the layout
and for this, I will use this green four. I will just rename the
green four and draw this one Like that. Yeah, so that's good. We'll be fixing the details
a little bit on that one. And I'm happy with that. So now I will add the
new layer with the line, tap the plasma layers
panel, renamed line, and I will use this darker
of the green colors and with the same brush just oops clipping mask
on that layer. So tap layer, tap clipping mask, and tap and drag to
draw a line there. Okay, so now it's one more. Swipe right of
those layers first, tap group, rename the
group to green four. Then I will tap the plaster at a new layer and we
have this one left. That one is the number one. So on that layer, let's just use the darker one of these two, and then we can use
this one on the line. That one is the green two. So I will rename that
layer to green two. And with the same brush,
I will draw this one I try to make that
in the shape that I want it in. Filling it in. Like that and then
tap the plaster, a new layer, renamed that line, tap the line, tap clipping mask, choosing the darker color there and just
draw a line there. Okay, so now we have four
colors of the leaves, and they will be repeated on the other leaves that
are cut by the edges. So I will just first swipe
right on both of those layers, tap group, rename the
group to green two. Now we can add the
berries so I will tap the plas and here
we will rename it to redbrry so I will do the red berries
with the same brush, and I can just choose to draw. Which one of these will be
red and one will be pink. So I want to kind of mix it up, so not all the red
and all the pink are next to each other. And then I can add a
new layer, tap las, rename that layer to pink berry and tap the pink color and add the pink berries. Maybe that one. It is supposed to
be red over here, and then we can fill
out the other berries on when we have flipped
the pattern around. So the next thing
that we will do is actually to flip
the pattern around. So what I will do then
is to tap the new group, that group up there, tap
the selections tool. And if you get an
error message here, you probably have
color field selected. You can check out the last
the previous lesson to see how I fix that problem. So if you can't
select the group, check out the previous lesson. But I will select the group, tap the selection tool, save and load, selection four. Tap the transform tool, flip vertical and
flip horizontal. Then I will tap
the selection tool again to deselect
and tap it again. Save and load, selection three, Tata transform tool, flip word,
cool and flip horizontal. Then I will tap
the selection tool again to deselect and tap it again to select Save
and Load Selection two, Tata transform tool, flip
vertical, and flip horizontal. Tap the selection
tool to deselect and tap the end to select Save
and load selection one, tat to transform tool, flip vertical, and
flip horizontal. Tata Transform tool to deselect, and here I can continue
to draw my patterns. So now I will start again, and I will turn on
the layout layer. And here I will make
sure that what was on number one will be the same color that
was number one here. So that was that color, and that is this color. So that is number one, and I would say that that
is green number two. Now we have a lot of numbers
here, but, you know, green number two is what was because I counted
the green here, one, two, three, four, five, and number one is
the rectangles. So that might be a little bit confusing. I can
really see that. But what we want to see on the layout is that this
one is named number one, so this one should be
in the same color. You can tap and hold to
select the same color, but I know that it's this color, and I know that it's on this layer that
I named green two. So then I will draw. I can turn off the layout for this one and draw on
the green two layer this leaf over here like that and fill it in. I really don't like
the edge of that. I would just try to make it
a different shape there. I'm more happy with that now. Then I will tap the line layer there and tap the color that was on the line and
draw a line there. Next we will go
for the next leaf, which was number three, which color was number three, let me see if we bring up the opacity on
the layout layer, you can see that number
three was this one, the forest green, and that was
turn off the layout layer. The forest green was
the green eight. I will tap into the
green eight layer, tap the forest green
and let me just see. Number three. So this one. We are going to draw that one on the green eight layer
and fill it in. And swimming out to see how that looks, maybe I want it to be
a little bit bigger. A little bit wider. Okay, so like that. Then tap the line layer and I will tap the darker green colour there and drag a
line on that leaf. Okay, so moving on, let's go for the next one, the number four, and
we can zoom out, which is number
four is this one. So that this color is
supposed to be here, and we will open up
green four here. And it's also the
number four over there. 12, three, four, 1234. Okay. So on the
green four layer, I'll turn off the visibility
of the layout layer, and then I will draw this one. That leaf is a little bit smaller than all of
the rest of them. I think it will
work fine anyway. But we can always draw a
little bit bigger after we've seen how it looks.
When we zoom out. So we'll fill in that one. And maybe just make it a little bit bigger
here and there, and there and there. Then on the line layer, I will tap the darker
color of that so that I have the same green as it was on this one andoyline. Maybe a little bit
thicker line like that. Then we have one left over there and that one is turn on the
layout layer number two. Number two is our
most light green. I will tap into
green number one, which is over here,
which is this one, and draw that one. Turn off the visibility
of the layout layer, and then draw this leaf over there. Filling it in. Like that and tap
the line layer, tap the darker of those
ones and drag a line there. Okay, so now we have
drawn all of the leaves, and we will do the berries. So I will tap into
the redbrry layer, choose the red colour. And let's go for
a red berry here, and then tap the
pink berry layer, the pink colour and draw this one over there
and maybe over there. Okay, so now I will turn off my sketch layer, shut
down that group, turn off my sketch layer
to see how that looks, and it's time to
test this pattern.
8. Hero Pattern: Test the Pattern: So let's test the
pattern first thing. I will just shut down
the reference window. I don't need the color
palette right now, so I will shut
that down as well. And now I just want to
try out the repeat. So what I will do is to tap
the top of my layers panel, swipe down with three
fingers tap copia, swipe down with three
fingers tap paste, and then I will tap the
three letter dots that are supposed to be up there,
Split view, safari, and I will tap and drag my image into the pattern
tester on my website, and then I will swipe up and down to see how the
pattern is repeated. I think that it
looks really good. If there's one thing
that I want to change, it might be to add a little dot to the
right of that leaf, but that's just,
you know, details. And for now in this class, I would just leave the pattern as it is because I
think it's good enough. So we can also test
it in Procreate. So to test it in Procreate, I would swipe it right
on the flattened image. So I have four copies, and then I will tap
the transform tool, tap in the top left corner node, make sure that I have
the chain symbol typed in and tap 1,500 pixels. Then I will tap the next layer, tap the top right cornonde
and type in 1,500 pixels. And the next layer, the bottom left cornonde
and 1,500 pixels, and the next layer and the bottom right cornonde
and 1,500 pixels. Now we are trying out the
pattern in Procreate, and I can swipe these
together to me much them. So this is our repeated pattern, and I can see that I'm super
happy with the result. So now it's time to
add some more texture.
9. Hero Pattern: Add Texture: So to add some, I will add some overall texture. What I will do is just to uncheck the visibility of
the repeated pattern there. And then I could
tap at the top of my layers panel here in the
group and tap the plast, and I will just
rename this texture because I will add
an overall texture. And we have a few brushes to
do that in the power pack. I am going to try
the Grangi texture and the Grangi background. First, let's try
the Grangi texture. So with a gray color, you can just choose a gray here. From the color panel
over there, maybe, the darker gray you go, the more texturized it will be or the darker
texture will be. So I will go for
somewhere up here. And then on that texture layer. I would with a large brush, the largest brush,
just swipe over. You can see that it's gray
now, but we will fix that. And the thing with
this brush is that the lighter you are
with the pressure, you will add a lighter texture, and if you really push down, you will add more texture. So when you have the gray
texture on that layer, you tap the symbol and you
drag up to color burn. And that way, if we zoom in, you can see that this is with texture and without texture. I will also try
the other texture, so I will unshake the
visibility of that one. Tap the plus, add
a new layer and I can just rename
this to texture two, with a granchy
background brush and the largest brush size, I will wipe like that
on the full pattern, and tap the N and
drag up to Caliburn. So here we have two
different textures. We have one that is a
bit more like edgy, a bit more rough like this. And then we have this one. I like the first
one, I will just delete the second layer, and this one was the
grungy texture brush. So now we added the texture, and we need to see if the
texture is repeated correctly. So we need to flip
the pattern around, and we can just do this
by tapping the new group. Tap the selection
tool, save and load, selection four, tap
the transform tool, flip vertical, flip horizontal, tap the selections tool
to deselect and tap it again to select
selection Number three, tap the transform to, flip
vertical, and flip horizontal. Tap the selections
tool to deselect and tap it again to
select selection two, tap the transform tool, flip vertical, and
flip horizontal, tap the selections tool
to deselect and tap it again to select Save
and Load Selection one, tap the transform to, flip
vertical, and flip horizontal. Then I'll tap the selections
tool to deselect. And now I want to
zoom in and see if I have any sharp
edges on my texture, and I can actually see
one here and one there. So I will go in and fix those. You can zoom in a little bit
and go on the texture layer, and you want to erase
with the same brush. So I will go for
the Grangi texture, but I can bring down
the size a little bit. And on that texture layer, I just want to erase
that sharp line, and then I can use the
grange texture again, maybe with the smaller brush
size and just move over the parts that are empty to
make it more soft there. So I will do the same here. Just erase a little bit, and if you feel that
you want to add, you can just add a
little bit there. Okay, so I don't think we have any more sharp lines there. So we are finished
with this pattern, and we can try it out again. So I will swipe down
with three fingers. I'll actually delete
this flattened image. So I will swipe down
with three fingers, tap copies, swipe down with
three fingers, tap paste. And here I have my
flattened image. And this time, I will only
repeat it in Procreate. So I will swipe the right to duplicate so that I
have five copies, then I will tap
the transform to, tap in the top left corner
node on the first layer, and type in 1,500 pixels. Then tap the layers panel, tap the next layer, tap the transform to, tap in the top
right corner node, and type in 1,500 pixels, tap the next layer, consume out a bit so that I can reach
the bottom left corner node, type in 1,500 pixels,
and the next layer, tap the transform to, tap in the bottom right corner node, and type in 1,500 pixels. Then I can swipe these together. So here you have your
repeated pattern, and here you have
your pattern tile. To be shared in this class, I suggest that you share
your repeated patterns. I will keep that visible, and then we will move back
to the gallery again, and it's time to create
our next pattern.
10. Secondary Pattern: Make the pattern: Let's continue with
our secondary pattern, and that is the
Shaker board one. And I would just, I know that I want to use a few different
colors on that one, and I will just select
the pattern template, duplicate it, and tap into
that pattern template. I don't need to
make a sketch here. I will just swipe it right
to clear this layer. And I don't need to make a sketch because I know
how I want it to look. I can turn on the
reference window, actions panel Canvas
reference and bring in my sketch here just to get a glimpse of
what I was thinking. So for this pattern, we can
do it in two different ways. We can draw the actual squares or we can just make
squares and add texture. They will have a bit
of a different look. So let's just do the
easier one of these two. And what I would do
first is just to tap the first layer and rename
that to background. And then I would bring out my
color palette to my canvas and choose the cream
white background and tap the background
layer and tap fill layer. So I think that
most of the squares or every other square
will be this cream white, and then we will have
different colors. So let me just add a new layer, tap the plus in
the layers panel, tap the layer, and we can
fill this with another color. So let's just fill it
with the red color, tat layer, tap, fill layer, and rename that one to red. And then I will tap the plus
again to add a new layer, and I will choose another color. Maybe we should go for
this one or this one. I would try this one, green, tat layer,
tap, fill layer. This one, I would just
rename to light green. So this is a super
simple pattern to make, and I will tap the plus
to add a new layer, and I want to choose
another color. So let me just go for
white here again. So I will tap the white, tap layer and tap fi layer
and rename this to white. So I'm not sure that I'm
thinking correctly here now, but I guess I want one white, one red, one white,
one red. I'm not sure. We don't need the full
background, actually. So what I would do
is just to tap. Let's start with
the red at the top left or should we start with the white? We can start
with the red. I would just bring
that up. And I will tap Transform tool, tap in the top left corner node, and type in half of
the size of this, make sure that I have the
chain symbol tapped in, so I will type in 1,500. And then I want the white. I will bring up
one of the white, tap the white layer, tap the transform tool, tap in the top
right corner node, and type in 1,500. And then I want the green
at the bottom right, I will tap the transform
tool on the green layer, tap in the bottom
right corner node, and type in 1,500. Then on this, actually, it's not background,
it's just white. Making it confusing to
call it background. So this is white, and I will
tap the transform tool, zoom out a bit, tap into
top left bottom left, cornind and type in 1,500. Okay, so now we
have four squares. So we can just swipe
right on all of these, tap group, and then
I can tap the group. And I think that I want like
four of these, actually. So I will duplicate that one, so I have one, two, three, four, so
that each of these will have four squares. So then I actually need
four copies of this. And let's start with
the top one here. We can tap the transform tool, and then with the
whole group selected, and then I will tap the
top left corner node and type in 1,500. So that has gotten us
to first four squares, and then I will tap
the next group, tap in the top right corner
node, type in 1,500. And the next and group and tap in the bottom
left cornonode type in 1,500, and then the next group, tap in the bottom right
cornonode and type in 1,500. So now all of these
are the same, is like red, white, red, and then white light
green, white light green. So we want to change
up some colors here. So what I would do then is just to see which
colors to change. Where is that red?
Here is that red. So maybe we could go for maybe it will be nice to
go for red pink, red pink. Yeah, probably. So I
will go for this one, and I would tap
Avalok on that layer, and then I would tap pink, tap the layer, tap fi layer. So that one is pink now, and now I want to
choose this one. So which one is this one? Oops. It is here is the green. I will tap that
layer, tap Avalok and tap the pink color
and tap fi layer. Now we have red pink,
red pink diagonally. And then I want let's try out to have the
lighter green over here. So check out which that one is. That's this red layer,
tap that layer, tap apalok, and I will choose this color and tap
layer, tap layer. And it would be nice to have
that one over there as well. So it's this red, tap the layer, tap alpha, tap the layer
and tap fill layer. So now we can just change out the colors and see
which colors we want and how we want them to be placed next to each other. So let's see. We have this one left. Let's try out to do like a
darker green color here. So I'll tap that green
color in the color palette. Tap alphao and tap fill layer. I think that looks good.
And then this one, tap aval and tap fill layer. Okay, so I think that
these colors are matching, and I think that they
look really nice. So now, actually, this is a finished shaker board pattern, but we also want to
add some texture here. So the first thing that
we would do is just to swipe together the
colors that are the same. So now it's kind of misleading because the red is called
red there and red there. But I will just fetch the
red layers, these two, and tap group on those, and fetch all of
the white layers. And tap group on those, and the pink ones wipe
the right and tap group, the light green, swipe
the right and tap group, and the darker green wipe
the right and tap group. Then I want them all to be on separate groups.
This is the red. And this is the white. We can rename it later. I would just want to know
where the groups are. I will bring this one up
so that it's separate from that group and so that this
one also is a separate group, and then I can just swipe it
right on the extra groups. Oops, not tap group,
but tap delete. Okay. So now what we want to do is to tap the
group, tap flatten, tap the group, tap flatten, tap the group, flatten,
tap the group, flatten, and tap the group and flatten and rename
them to what they are, which is actually pink and
light green and dark green. And we can just bring
these in the group. These layers, tap
and drag them in the group so that we have
one layer for each color. So that's good, and now
it's time to add texture.
11. Secondary Pattern: Add Texture: Okay, so I will just turn
off the reference window, and I can have my color
palette window here. And now we want to add texture. So how I do that is that I tap on top of my layers
here in the group, and I tap the plus
to add a new layer. Now we rename this to texture. And then I will choose a gray color somewhere
around there to try out. And I will use the
Graunci texture, which is the same as we used in the Holy leaves pattern and
the largest brush size, and I will just swipe
over to add some texture. And then I will tap
in on that layer and bring down the
blenimo to Caliburn. If you want a lighter texture, you can bring down the opacity, and you can also
experiment with using a lighter gray color like that, and then you tap
the texture layer, tap Aval and tap fill layer. So I want a little
bit darker, actually, like that so that I can see
a difference and fill layer. Okay, so this looks really good. And now we can experiment with if we're happy
with the colors. So this looks a little
bit dark for me. And then I can go in,
choose the color palette. Maybe I can try out that
green color instead. And it's already
aval on that layer, so then I will tap fill layer. And maybe that was the color
that I've chosen before, so I will tap another
one and tap fill layer. Okay. Maybe I want to try out if this screen looks better as
the lightest green there. So as it's already afloc on it, I will just tap fill layer. Okay, so that looks
better to me, and I'm happy with
the colors now. I'm also happy with the texture. And as we don't have
any motifs that are cutting out of the edges, I know that this
texture will look good even when the pattern
is flipped around. So now it's time to
test this pattern.
12. Secondary Pattern: Test the Pattern: Let's test this pattern in the patent test
or on my website, so I will tap in the
top of my layers group. A swipe down with three fingers, tap Copio, swipe down with
three fingers, tap paste. Then I will tap the
three little dots, split view, tap Safari, and here I will tap and drag my flattened image into the
pattern tester on my website. And this looks super cute. It's kind of like a
standard hakibard pattern with some Christmasy colors
and some nice texture. And it looks perfect. So let's just try it out
and procreate, as well. I will close my color
palette over there, and I will duplicate
the flattened image. So that I have five copies, and then I will tap the
transform tool on the top layer, tap in the top left corner node. Make sure you have
the chain symbol tapped in and type in 1,500. Then I will tap in
the next layer, tap in the top
right corner node, 1,500 and tap in the next layer, bottom left corner node, 1,500, and the next layer, zoom out a bit and the bottom right corner node, and 1,500. Then I can swipe these layers
together to merge them. So here you have your
repeat the pattern, and here you have
your parentile. In this class, you
can choose if you want to share your repeated
pattern or your parentile. I will turn on the visibility of the repeated pattern so that
I can export that later
13. Blender Pattern: Make the Pattern: Now it's time to make
the blender pattern, and that is this stripes
pattern with square stripes. So I will select the pentemplate
again and duplicate it, and we can rename this one to checkerboard and rename this
one let's just say stripes. And then tap into
the pen template, and I will in the layers panel wipe to the right to
clear that layer. And here I want the
background layer. So on our sketch, we can tap togeer again. We tried out some
different colors. We had a green color, so let's just start with the green
color as the background. So I would go to
my color palette, bring that out, maybe, and choose a green color. Let's choose this green
color, tap the layer, tap fill layer, and then I would rename that
layer to background. And then tap the plaster add a new layer and rename
this to stripes. Then I want to go in
the drawing guide. I will tap the actions
panel drawing guide, edit drawing guide, and
I want to to the grid. And as this is a 3,000
pig sauce Canvas, I can go for 300 and
that will bring me these squares that can help guide me to create
the stripes pattern. On the stripes layer, I want to select the same brush, the taper textured as I used in the holly pattern and the
holly leaves pattern. And then with white
as the color, I will just go ahead and
draw some lines here. I'm using 11% in brush size. You can choose if
you want them close like this or on every other. I'm going to try to
have them on every other of these guidelines. So that's how simple that is. And now we need to flip this around so that we
can fix the edges. So what I would do then is
to tap the layers panel, swipe to the right on both
of these layers, tap group, tap the group, tap the
selection tool, save a load, selection four, and then I
want to flip it just inside. I will tap the transform
tool, flip vertical, tap the selection tool
again, save and load, selection three, tap the
transform tool, flip vertical. Tap the selection tool
to deselect and tap it again to select same
Load Selection two, tap the transform
tool, flip vertical, tap the selection
tool to deselect, and tap it again, to
select selection one, tap the transform tool
and flip vertical. Now I want to turn off the drawing guide because
that is just in the way. And now I can zoom in and see how I can fix
the edges here. So for this one, I think
it might work to just have a smaller brush size and kind of on the
stripes layer over there, just draw in a
little bit here so that it looks that you can
see the line there. Obvious. Something like that.
That looks good already. On this one, I think I need
to erase a little bit here, so I will just erase. I want to erase with
Modline one from the power pack. I will erase. And then with the tap
or texture and the 11%, I will draw a new line and try to match it up as
good as it gets, and then I will do the
same on the other ones that are not that straight. I can erase a little bit down there and a
little bit up there. Then it will be less obvious when I try to fix the
lines and then I fill in. Doesn't need to be
perfect because we can go in with a smaller brush
size and add the details. So with a smaller brush size, I will now go in here and
try to fix where the edges are and just make it invisible. You could even draw a little
bit there, fix that edge. So that looks good. And then here,
we'll go in and fix this edge or there,
that was easy. Do I see anything here? No, it looks kind
of good zooming in on each of these lines, fixing the edges so you
can see where it repeats. And this one maybe just
a little fix over there. Okay, so that is good. And now we need to just
duplicate this layer. I will swipe to the right on the stripes layer,
tap duplicate, and then I will tap
the transform to and rotate 45 degrees two times. And that way, I have
a perfect stripes on that direction and
on this direction. Okay, so now we're finished
with this pattern. And let's just see we might want to
recolor that later on, but we will keep the
green color for now, and it's time to test the
14. Blender Pattern: Test the Pattern: It's time to test
this pattern out. I will just swipe down
with three fingers, tap copy all, swipe down with
three fingers, tap paste. You can tap and drag your flattened image
on top of the group. Then I will tap three
little dots, split view. Tap into Safari and tap and drag your image to
the pattern tester. This looks great to me, and I'm super happy
with the result. You can also test your pattern in Procreate, and to do that, you would swipe to the
right on that layer and duplicate it so that
you have five copies, tap the transform tool, tap in the top left corner node, type in 1,500 pixels, tap the next layer, tap the top right corner node, type in 1,500 pixels, tap in the next layer. Tap in the bottom left
corninde 1,500 pixels, tap in the next layer and the bottom right cornonode
and type in 1,500 pixels. So you can swipe these
together to merge them, and I will shut down
my color palette here. So this is your
repeated pattern, and this is your pentile. I will keep my repeated pattern here so that I can
export it later in.
15. Recoloring: We're finished
with the patterns, and before we export them, let's have a look at
how to recolor them. Let's recolor the
stripes pattern first. So I'll tap into the
stripes pattern. And here I actually feel that I want to recolor this
pattern because I think it would probably look better with the pink background. So I will tap the pink color, tap the background layer
and tap fill layer. If you would want to
recolor the stripes, you would tap Avloc
on that layer, and let's just recolor one of the stripes layers with the red and tap
Avloc on the other. And tap fill layer. So this
is a really cool pattern, but I think that I
want them white. So just do that. And then you could swipe down with
three fingers again, copy all, swipe down with
three fingers, tap paste. And here you can repeat this again if you're happy
with your new colors. So duplicate that
image four times, and then I will tap in the
top left corner node with the first layer and tap the transform tool and top right cornonde with
the second layer. Tap the transform to on the third layer and the
bottom left corner node, type in 1,500, and
then the next layer, tap the bottom right
corner node and 1,500. Then I will swipe these
together to merge them, and here I have
my repeated image and here I have my parentile. I will keep the
repeated pattern here. I'm more happy with
the color choice here. If you want to
change the colors of this little bit more
complex pattern, I would turn off
the visibility of the flattened image
and the texture will just be recolored by itself as it's on
a color burn layer. But if you, for example, want to recolor the pink berries, let's drag out color palette. So maybe you want all
of the berries red, then you will tap the pink
berries and tap fill layer, and maybe you want to change the background color to pink. Let's choose pink
and tap fill layer. So that is how you would
recolor this pattern as well. I don't want to recolor it. Actually, I want it like this. So I'll turn on my
repeated pattern, and now you know how to
recolor the pattern.
16. Export the Files: Exporting these files
is super simple. If I want to export the
files from the gallery, I can just tap Select and select the files
that I want to export and tap Share and
JPEG and save images. I will save them
to my camera roll, and that is the patterns that you can share
here in class. If you want to export
the pattern tile, I would tap in to my pattern and then turn off the visibility
of the repeater pattern, tap the actions panel, share, and I will save it as a JPEG and save it to my camera roll. So now you have saved the parentile of this and
the repeat pattern of that.
17. BONUS: Have a Look at Using Procreate Mockups: This is a little bonus
lesson for those of you who are interested
in Procreate mockups, which is something
that I'm offering in my membership, Pattern Rebos. If you watch this class in the All Access plan in my
Pattern Rebos membership, you will get access to these
five Procreate mockups, which are free to use for
personal and commercial use. And I just wanted to show
you how to use them. So if you're interested
in getting them, you can check them
out in my membership. So how to use them is that I will just tap into
one of the mockups. And here you have an
example pattern layer. You have three locked layers that you don't need
to do anything with, but I would just
tap the mask layer, and then I would tap the actions
panel ad insert a photo. And here I would insert my new pattern that I've
created and exported. And as it's a pattern, above, I can see it, but there you can see your
imported pattern. Here you can tap
the Transform tool and change the size of the pattern and
change the placement. And then you can export
this image and share your patterns on your website on these mockups or
on social media. I love to use mockups to be able to see my
patterns on products. So if you're interested in that, you will get access to these five mockups and much more in my
membership Patter Rb.
18. Final Thoughts: That is all for this class. We have created a full mini Christmas pattern
collection in Procreate. And if you only get one
thing out of this class, I hope it is that it
doesn't need to be super complicated to make
a mini pattern collection. In this class, we're
creating a mini collection, but if you want to
take it further, you can add more patterns
to make it a larger collection that can be used
for all sorts of purposes. There's no limit to
what you can create, and you've already done the groundwork by
finding inspiration, choosing a theme, and creating
this mini collection. If you enjoy this class, I also want to
recommend shaking out my class called Create a Halloween Mini Pattern
Collection in Procreate, which is similar to this one, but with a Halloween theme. And if you're eager to dive
deeper into pattern design, be sure to check
out Pattern Rebels, my membership program. And in Pattern Rebels, you will get access
to monthly classes, design resources like
Procreate brushes, color palettes, mockups, and
pattern layout templates. Plus, we have monthly design challenges,
feedback sessions, and Q&A opportunities
where you can ask me anything about design and
running a creative business. You can learn more
