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 at pater rebels.com.
