Mini Pattern Collection in Procreate: Valentine’s Day Theme

1. Intro: Hi, I'm Maya Faber. I'm a surface pattern designer and online teacher. And in this class, I'm going to teach you how to create a Valentine's Day themed Mini pattern collection in Procreate. We will explore how to find inspiration from a specific theme and how to work with seasonal 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 the pattern from scratch in Procreate and how to use patter layout templates to make the entire process more fun, easy, and seamless. In this class, I'm using my free Powerpack procreate brush set featuring 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. 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 to watch the class and have created at least a few patterns before. If you never made a pattern in prorocrate, I would recommend checking out my class on creating an editable pattern in Procreate with calibrations before diving into this one. And if you're eager to dive even deeper into pattern design, be sure to check out pattern Rebs my membership program. In Pattern Rebels, you will get access to monthly classes, design resources like appropriate brushes, color palettes, sk gaps, and pattern layout templates. Plus, we 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 start to create our Valentine's Day collection. 2. Your Project: This class, your project is to create your own Valentine's Day themed mini pattern collection in Procreate. Your collection will include at least three patterns inspired by the Valentine's Day 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 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 Power PAC Procreate brush set, which includes 20 of my favorite brushes designed to streamline your pattern making process. This set also includes two pattern layout templates that we will use during the class to make designing your mini collection more efficient and enjoyable. While using the Power PAC is optional, I highly recommend it for the best possible learning experience. To download the brush set, you can download the PDF under Projects and Resources section here in class and then tap the link in the PDF. Or you can go to maafab.com slash POWEPAC. Here, you will write in your name and your email address. And that will give you your power pack to your inbox. I've also included a free procreate color palette in this class with a Halloween theme. To download this color palette, you can go to the PDF in the project and resources section and tap the link. Throughout the class, I'm also using my Pinterest board as inspiration. I made this board specifically for you, the students in my class. It's a Valentine's Day themed board. Feel free to just stick to this board, or if you want to gather your own inspiration, you can do that 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 Pattern Rebels 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 Paraibs members in the All Access membership plan. 4. Make a Pattern Template: First thing that we will do in this class is to make a pattern template. Just follow my lead here. If you don't understand where we're doing this or how to use it, you will notice this later on in class. Just follow my lead. We will create a new Canvas in Procreate, tap the little plus up here and the plus folder symbol there. I usually go for 3,000 pixels in width and in height. That's my standard size, and 300 in DPI. That will bring me a maximum amount of layers of 204. If you have less layers here, it really doesn't matter. I think we need maybe 20 or 30 layers at the maximum. It all depends on the storage of your iPad, how many layers you get there. And then you will tap color profile, and I usually use the first SRDB color profile that is under display P three. Then I tap create, and here I have a new Canvas. So what we will do now, I can just bring out my color palette up here and just bring out my premade color palette or use any colors that you want to. And what we will do is just to fill some layers. So I will tap the first layer and tap fill layer with any color. Tap the plaster at a new layer, and I will fill that layer with another color, you can use the same colors if you want to as well, but it's easier to see what we are doing if we are using different colors. So choosing another color, filling the layer, and another color. And filling the layer. I have four layers in different colors. Then I can shut down my color palette on the X mark, zoom out the bit, and now I will tap my first layer in order up here, layer four, tap the transform tool, tap in the top left corner node. Make sure that you have the chain symbol tapped in and type in 1,500 pixels. Then I will tap my layers panel, tap in the next layer, layer number three, tap the transform tool, tap in the top right corner node, and type in 1,500. Then I will tap the next layer, darker pink, I will zoom out a bit before I tap the layer, tap the transform tool, and tap the bottom left corner node and type in 1,500. And then the next layer, the transform tool, the bottom right corner node, and type in 1,500. In order to make this right and to not leave you with white lines in your patterns, you need to be very sure that you don't accidentally nudge the screen and move your boxes around here, because if you do, you might get white lines in your patterns. If you get a white line in your pattern, I would recommend to check out my class about leveling up your pattern design in Procreate, where I have a full lesson about all my tips and tricks on how to avoid white lines. Okay, so back to this lesson, we have four layers. I will tap the first layer, tap select, and then save a load down here in the selection tool and tap the plus to add the selection one. Then I will tap the next layer in the layers panel, tap select, save a load and a little plus. Tap the next layer, tap select, save a load and the plus. And then next layer, select, save a load and plus. So if I would uncheck the selection tool, and check it again, tap it in again, tap, save a load. If I tap the different selections, here you can see that I have four different selections, and there's four perfect squares that are perfectly aligned to the edges of my canvas and there's no white lines in between. What we can do now is just swipe these layers together to merge them. And here we have our finished pattern template. I will just tap gallery and rename this to pattern template. And then you can reuse this for our Sasa patterns later on. 5. Finding Inspiration: So now it's time to find inspiration for our Valentine's Day patterns. I have a Pinterest board, which I already mentioned in the Downloads and Resources lesson that you will find a link to this in the downloadable PDF here in class. I've just saved a bunch of Pinterest or I mean, Valentine's Day inspired images. You can go ahead and save your own images if you want to, or you can just use my pre made board. So for this Valentine's Day mini collection, I will use some very symbolic Valentine's Day motifs. So I'm thinking that my hero pattern will be hearts. That's like an obvious theme for Valentine's Day. And I will use colors that are pink and reddish. And I think that I want to go for something. I definitely want to go for something simple as the blender print, maybe maybe like dots. That one is nice, or stripes. Maybe dots for this one. And for the secondary pattern, I really like the idea of this like XOXO. So maybe it's a common recurring thing here in my board, XOXO. So I might go for like a letters pattern, a very simple letters pattern for my secondary print, where it says, XOXO. Okay, so now I have had a look at my inspiration board, and in the next lesson where we will sketch out our collection, I will show you how I use these inspirational images to do that. 6. Sketching the Collection: We are back in Procreate, and now I want to show you how I sketch my collection. You can just use any type of canvas size here. I already have a canvas that is 3,000 times 3,000 pixsie with SRGB Colmon. I will just use that one. If you want to sketch on a screen size canvas, you can use that one. That really doesn't matter. What I will do first is just to bring up Pinterest. I will tap the three little dots at the top, tap split view and Pinterest. And here I have my Valentine's Day board, I will tap and drag that to the left so I have my pinter to the left and my procret window to the right. And I have included a color palette here for you, the Valentine's Day, Procrit color palette, which is free to use for all purposes. And throughout the class later on when we create our patterns, I will use this. But I just wanted to show you first how I create these palettes where I find inspiration. So let me just use I will use the drcryl and I will go ahead and check out the colors of my pinterest board. So there's definitely pink. Let's bring out the color panel. And here we have different pink. So I am just going to draw with a dry acrylic, a little bit larger in size maybe around 12%. I'm just going to draw some blobs here. So I'm going to use different pink colors. Those were a little bit more peachy. I might want something that is a little bit more pinky pink. Like that. So I usually go for if I find the color that I like, you can go for several different hues of that, like light, medium, and darker. And then we can try things out later on when we color block or sketch and see which of these that we want to use. So I will go, oops, I will go to, like, red over here because I definitely want some kind of red. Well, that one looks amazing, and then a darker one. And I might want the more like a maroon red. I could go for like a peachy, more peachy color, brighter peachy color. And then I definitely want some kind of creamy white or soft pink white. Something like that. So that is actually just this board, this inspiration board was really simple because everything is, like, red and pink. So I would just find different red and pink colors. And then I will have my colors here. And when I create my sketch and color block my sketch for my mini pattern collection, I can use these colors to see which of the colors will I include into the collection, which of the colors are appropriate to use together and things like that. But for now, I will just uh, move my color panel here. And on this layer with the colors, I can just rename that to colors so that I know what's on that layer. And then I can tap this and just make it a little bit smaller and drag it up here. So then you would have your colors here and you can just use them for your patterns. I will just fetch these free hand like this and drag them down just so that I have some free space here. So from now on, I will use my premade color palette, but that is how I created this color palette. You can see that the colors are really similar in my premade and in this that we did now. But I'm tapping and dragging my color panel over there. And then I will start to draw my sketch. So first, you can create squares. You don't need to do this if you don't want to, but I really enjoy having squares at first so that I know kind of my brain understands how many patterns are we supposed to create and where am I going to place them on this canvas. We will actually when we color block, which we will do just in a minute, these black squares will kind of disappear, but then you have the colors in the squares on one layer. And then we can tap the plus to add a new layer, and here we can just rename this to backgrounds. You don't need to create separate layers for all of your motifs and all of your colors in this sketch. I will create the backgrounds on a separate layer as it will be easier to try out different background colors then. So then I will tap my color panel lav over here, and then I will go for dry acrylic, and I want to choose some backgrounds. So let me just see. The first one I'm thinking will be like a hearts pattern, so I will create, I think, several different hearts in red and pink on a cream white background. At least that is my idea. So next we are doing another pattern. I definitely want a pattern with, like, a pink background, so this could be pink then. Let's try that out. So as you can see, I'm drawing on top of my squares, but I don't mind that, and I don't mind them to be perfectly square shaped because this is just my idea sketch for the pattern collection. Then the next one, if we have one white and one pink, we might try to go for, like, a red one. We can always try that out and see if we like that. Just as we did with we found some dots somewhere. Where were the dots on the hearts? Where were the dots on the hearts, that image? I can't seem to find it now, but like this one with the red and the pink motifs on top. So let's just start like this, and then we might change these colors later on. So back in my Pindresbard, and I will tap the plus, and I will rename this to motifs. And here I will have hearts on this one. You could go ahead and sketch, you know, with a perfect pencil if you want to. As these motifs are really simple, I will just go ahead with we can try out the dry acrylic, and I will draw hearts in different colors. I might go down in brush size a little bit, maybe 8%. I can zoom into this pattern, and oops, a little bit smaller than 3%. And I will just draw some hearts. I'm thinking that this will be like a tossed pattern. So I will flip my canvas around and draw the hearts in different angles here and different colors. And already here, I can try out my different colors together and see kind of which colors do I want to use in this pattern, how many colors and which of these colors work well together. So maybe these are a little bit too many colors here. And then we can try out and see we can create some hearts and then we can see, Okay, how many colors do I want to use of the hearts. As you can see, I'm not super detailed about how the hearts are tossed and everything like this. I'm just getting my idea down here. So let's try out some colors. We could definitely go for the darker red. I think that is a nice contrast. Maybe we could go for the darker and the lighter one. So then I could tap and drag to fill this red with that one. And I'm not sure about what I want to do with peachy hearts. So let me just see if I feel that one red, and this one could be like darker pink. This one could be lighter pink. No, this one could be darker red. And this one could be lighter pink and maybe one more over here. Okay, so something I don't know, something like this. I'm not sure about the colors, maybe I want to bring in. Like a peach color. No, I don't think that I want to. I want to have four colors, and I think that these are the four colors that I want to use. I'm not sure what I want to do in the background. Maybe I could add Well, tap the background layer and tap the plus to add a new layer to try things out. Maybe I can add, like, little lines in the background to make it a little bit more interesting. I have this pattern brush, the thin stripes here. So maybe that would be something. So that is my idea for the first pattern. And for me, this sketch is enough, and I will move on to the next pattern. So for the next one, I really wanted this XOXO thing. And let me see. I might want, like, red on pink. And if we just write Oops let me just take the darker red there. And if I just write with, like, bubbly letters, X O X. Oh. Oops. Do I want it to be a little bit twisted like this, or maybe I can select this and just flip it around. Adjust the selection with the yellow box there and maybe we like XOXO, and then swipe down with three fingers and tap copy and tap paste that will bring me two of those. I'll just twist it up again and then twist that one up again, select it. Oops. I'm on the wrong layer now because it's on this layer. I'll select that one and twist that one. I just selection, and maybe this one. I could do oxo oxo then tap merge down. And maybe I can do swipe around these and tap copy and paste so that I have more. Maybe I can place them like that instead. Then I will just swipe right on that layer. Now I'm just trying out how this idea would work, but I think that this would be a good idea to have XOXO, xoxo and it goes up in both directions, horizontal and vertical. XOXO, oxo. So that is actually a good idea. Then I can swipe these layers together. And it doesn't matter if you have motifs on this layer as well, and this layer is just a sketch. So for now, let me just select that layer. Maybe I want to go for white here, I can do X O, XO XO. So all of the O's might be just in one color, and all of the Xs can be in one color. To have color drop there. So either like this or maybe, let me just try that out again. Contin your filling XO XO. Every other row could be white and Oops, not that one. White. And every other row could be dark red. I really like this idea, so I'm going to keep that and see what we would do with it when we draw our actual pattern. So for this one, I think I just want to create the dots pattern. I will swipe away pin tress, so I have my full canvas here, and then zoom in. And let me just try that idea with, like, pink on red. So now I'm not on the background layer, no, so I will draw, like, larger pink dots. On the red, I don't want them in a row. Kind of randomly placed. And on the red, I don't like that red, so I will tap the background layer, tap this red color, tap and drag. So that looks super cute. We could do that. We could also do like with a white. But let's just try out the dark red there. Okay, so now we have our finished sketch for the pattern. It's super simple. You don't need to mind the layers here or how you created this file, but I'm happy with this sketch, and it's time to move on to create our first pattern. We will start with a hero. 7. Hero pattern - Sketching: Okay, so it's time to draw our first pattern. It's the hero pattern. Before we start with that, I want to tap actions panel, share PEG, and just share this sketch to my camera roll so that I can use it as reference when I create my patterns. The first thing that we will do is to select the pattern template, which is what we will use to create the patterns in this class. And then I will tap duplicate and I will tap into one of the pattern templates. So here you can just clear this first layer because we don't need that, so I will swipe to the right and tap clear. And now we want to create the sketch, but the very first thing is that I will create the background. I will rename that layer to background, and I can just go for you can just go straight away for the cream white background, actually that we want to use, I will select the cream white, tap background and tap fill layer. Next, I will tap the plus to add a new layer. And here I wanted to show you how to use one of my pattern layout templates, which is included in a Powerpack brush set. So it's this one, the Ts tc tangles. If you enjoy using pattern layout templates, I really recommend checking out my membership pattern Rebels, where you get one new pattern layout template each month and also my patent toolkit, which is included in the membership, but you can also buy it separately, where I offer 25 different pattern layouts for Procreate. But now back to this lesson and we're going to use the toast rectangles. I will tap that. I usually go for black. You can go for any color that you want to, and then I will go for around 60% in brush size. Make sure that you place this stamp within the canvas so that you don't get it cut off like that. So place it within your canvas, tap one time, then you can tap the transform tool and fit to Canvas. Now I will tap this layer, rename it to layout, and I will tap the N symbol and drag down opacity to around ten or 15%. Okay, so now we have the placement of rmtifs and the layouts are made so that we draw motifs within the guides here. But then you can always rearrange later on. It all depends on what type of motifs you're drawing, but they are made for you to quicker, easier and to have more fun, actually, while you create patterns because you already have a layout for your patterns. As you can see, there are numbers. The numbers are twisted. So if we would create now we're creating hearts, but if we create motifs that have an apparent, let me just show you what I mean. Like a top and right. Let's just say we're creating butterflies. Then I will create like one butterfly in this direction and one in this direction, so that is why the numbers are twisted. But as we are drawing hearts, that really doesn't matter for this purpose. But what we will do is to draw our hearts within these rectangles, and we will use the numbers to separate the colors. So the number three here and the number three there will have the same colors. Okay, so that was a little bit about the basics of the paraleo templates, and now it's time to start to draw our hearts. So I have a new layer here and I will rename this to sketch. And I will sketch out my hearts with the perfect pencil from the power pack and black color. I have around 20% in brush size, and now I will just start to draw my hearts. I think that I want these kind of longer shaped hearts like that. And you don't need to have them completely in the rectangle. And I try to twist so that not all hearts are like this, you know, because I want to make create the tossed pattern. So I will do one over there. This is a rough sketch, and then maybe one over here. So some are a little bit bigger and some are a little bit smaller. That looks really, really good. And now we will just flip the pan around. And here is when we find use for the pattern layout template. So I will swipe to the right on all of these three layers and tap group. Then I will tap the group, tap the selections tool. If we get an error message that says something like this, tap cancel, tap into one of the layers and make sure that you don't have color fill selected because that will bring you that error message, and it won't allow you to choose the whole group. If you still can't choose the group for some reason, you can select all of the layers instead. The result will be exactly the same. But I will select the group, the selection tool, save and load, tap selection four. Doesn't matter in which order you select these selections, but I will tap selection four, tap the Transform tool, flip vertical, and flip horizontal. Then I will tap the selections tool to deselect and tap it again to select and selection three, tap the transform tool, flip vertical, and flip horizontal. Then I will tap the selections tool to deselect and tap it again to select selection two, tap the transform tool, flip vertical, and flip horizontal. I will tap the selections tool again to select selection one, tap the transform tool, flip vertical, and flip horizontal. Now I have flipped the outrages to the in, and I want to go for my sketch layer and draw the rest of my heart. So here, as this heart is that direction, I would draw this one in this direction, and let's just see this one is that direction, then I would draw this one over here somewhere. And maybe this one should be in that direction and here we have one more, then we make this. I'm trying to not create all of the hearts in the same direction. Here we might have an issue. I can see that already. I will select this because it's too sharp line there. I will select this one with the selection tool, tap the transform tool and just flip it up a little bit, and then I can select this one so that they're not exactly same line because that will cannot disturb our pattern. I will actually just flip that up a little bit. Now I feel that the space between these are much better. So we already created a sketch now, and it's time to try it out, actually, I will turn off the layout layer. And I will swipe down with three fingers, tap copy all, swipe down with three fingers, tap paste, and I will tap the three little dots, split view Safari. And here I have my Panatsro on my website, which is a free tool for you to use. There's a link to it in the description of this class, and you can tap and drag to check out your sketch in the pattern sketcher. Here you can zoom in and zoom out and see how your pattern is repeated. So this looks really good to me. I don't know if we have any issues. It might be this heart that I might want to flip up a little bit, but I can also change that while I actually draw my motifs. Let's just go back to Procreate and we can repeat this in procreate as well. I swipe to the right to tap duplicate if you don't want to use the pattern tester, and then I can tap the top layer, tap the transform tub the bottom left, cornonde, top left, cornonde, type in 1,500 when you have the chain symbol tapped in, tap the next layer, the top right cornonde, type in 1,500. Then the next layer, the bottom right cornonde, type in 1,500. I mean the bottom left. Have a trouble with left and right today, and then the next layer, zoom out the bit so that I can tap the bottom right corninod and 1,500. So now you can see how your pattern is repeated in Procreate, I can just swipe those together. And I think that this looks good. I might want to flip this pattern around a little bit, but I might wait actually until I draw my motifs because I think it's a minor issue, and it will be easier to see when I've drawn my motifs in a color. So the sketching is finished, I can just delete this layer, and now we have the sketch for our pattern. 8. Hero Pattern - Make the Pattern: So let's start to draw our first pattern, our hero pattern, which is the busiest one of the three. And we have a sketch. We have a layout, so we know which colors will be we. And we need to start to draw motifs. So the first thing that I will do is tap the N on the sketch layer and just bring it down to around ten or 15%. And then I will tap the plus to add a new layer, and I will separate the colors on different layers. That way, it will be easier to recolor later on. So we can just bring out our color palette. I will use my premade color palette, and start to draw our motifs. So first, let's just start with this one. I can go for the light pink, and then I can also rename that layer to light pink and draw my motifs. I will try to use the dry acrylic for the hearts here is one of my favorite brushes at the moment, and check out which size. This size is probably good around 7%, and then I will draw the hearts. So this is a fairly simple pattern as the motifs are so simple, and you get a nice texture already by using this brush. I might want a little bit more longer hearts like that. I don't need to mind the placement of the motifs. Really match at this moment. I will draw them on top of my sketch, but we can always move them around later on. So I know if I turn on the layout layer that these four are different colors. So let's just draw different colors here, and then we will flip the pan around and we will reuse the colors. Let me turn off the layout layer, tap the plaster, add a new layer, and we could go for the dark red, for example. So dark red. I'll rename the layer to dark red, and then I will twist around my canvas so that I can draw this oops heart over there. And filling it in. Like that. Next one, let's go for the darker pink with this one so that I have kind of pink, pink, red, red. So I will tap the plaster in the layers panel to add a new, and I will just rename this the pink and choose the darker of the pink colors. Draw this heart trying to get, like, a good shape of that. So that is probably good. And then this one, a new layer, tap the plaster, a new layer. And let's go for let's try this light the red color. So I will just rename this two, red and then draw my heart somewhere around here. Maybe not in the exact same direction as that one. So already, I can just twist the hearts around just a little bit, based on what I see on the hearts that I've drawn. Okay, so I'm happy with this, I think. Maybe it's a little bit thin. A little bit bolder. Like that. So now we have four of the hearts, and it's time to flip our pattern around. I will tap the new group, tap the selections tool, Save and load, selection four, tap the transform tool, flip vertical, and click horizontal. Tap the selections tool to deselect, tap it again to select Save and load, selection three, tap to transform tool, flip vertical, and click horizontal. Tap the selection tool to select and tap it again to select Save and load selection two, tap the transform tool, flip ward to go and click horizontal, tap the selections tool to deselect and tap it again to select Save and Load Selection one, tap the transform tool, flipbard to go and click horizontal. Now what we want to do is to turn on the layout layer to see which of these hearts are the different numbers in the layout. So I will tap and drag my layout to the top here in the group so I can see the numbers shining through the hearts. So then I can see that this red one is number four, so I will tap the red layer, tap the red color of that one and draw this heart. If you think that the layout layer is in the way, you can just turn off the visibility of that. I won't mind it for now as I want to move through this quickly. Then you can see that the number two is the light pink. It's up there, I would tap the light pink, tap the light pink layer, and number two is supposed to be light pink. So that's good. And then the next one, the number three is which one is three, which one is four. The dark red is three. So dark red layer, dark red color, and number three. I'll draw my dark red heart on that one. Like that, and then we only have the pink. So tap the pink layer, tap the pink color, and draw this arch. Maybe a little bit smaller because that one was super big. Okay. So now we're finished with that. And let's just turn off the visibility of the sketch layer and on the layout layer and see how this looks. So for me, this looks good. I will try it out when I've created the texture in the next lesson. So let's just move on to the next lesson, then we can try out the pattern and see if we want to change some details, make some adjustments to replacement and things like that. 9. Hero Pattern - Add Details & Texture: So now we will add some texture and details. First, let's just add some texture. So I will tap at the top of the red layer here and tap the plus to add a new layer, and I will just rename this texture. And we will use a gray color over here, maybe somewhere around there in grayness to try things out. And then I want to use one of the textured brushes. I will try this grungy background, and as large brush as you can, 100% in brush size, and then I will just swipe over my pattern so that I get this gray texture. Then I will tap the N on the layer and tap Caliburn. So now we have some nice texture here. If you want to go lighter in the texture, let's zoom in a little bit. You can tap the CB and just drag down the opacity. Or you can tap the layer, tap Alphalok and go up or down in gray here. So let's go down to darker gray, tap fill layer so that doesn't look good at all. And we can go for lighter gray, tap fill layer. So that will bring you a little bit of lighter texture. So for me, I really love this texture, and I'm happy with how that looks. So now let's add some texture in the background, and then we will use some stripes. I will tap the background layer, tap the plus to add a new layer. Just rename this to stripes so I know what that is. And I will use the beige light pink color here next to the cream white. And then I will use the thin stripes brush, and you can go for a maximum size, and I will just move this brush all around my canvas so that I feel every space of my canvas. If you feel that it's hard to see when you have the hearts here, you can just turn off the visibility of all of the hearts and see that you filled out your whole canvas with this striped brush. So now we've done that, I will turn on the hearts again. And we want to flip the pan around to make sure that every part of the texture and the stripes layer are repeated in a good way. So I will tap the group and I will tap the selection tool. And first, I just want to flip the top and the bottom so to see that the stripes are matching up, so I will tap Save and load, selection four, tap the transform tool, flip vertical. Then I will tap the selections tool to deselect, tap it again to select, save a load selection. Three, tap the transform tool, flip vertical, tap the selection tool again, save a load, selection two, tap the transform tool, flip vertical, tap the selection tool to deselect, tap it again to select selection one and save a load and flip vertical with the transform tool. So now we can turn off the visibility of our heart and we can just see how our stripes are repeated. I will tap into my stripes layer. Make sure that I have the same color selected there. And here we can go for a brush, any type of brush, actually, that you can use to fill this in. It's a little bit textured in the side, so you can see that this stripe is pretty good, but here we need to fix a little bit. So I'll just go over all of the stripes and let me see what brush to use. Let's try to use the taper texture and see how that looks with a really small brush size. So that will probably work. And I will just fill in here where you can see the edge. If you feel that it's too much, though that when you're filling in, the line will be too thick there. I don't think that that mattered there, but let's just say here. Then I will erase with the monoline brush from the power pack, and I can just I have around 10% in brush size, and I can just erase a little bit of this line, zoom out, and redraw. I don't need to raise that much. And try to redraw it. Let's try to use the taper texture, and a little bit larger and brush size. Let's save the 2%. I can go for 6% and just try to fill it in like this. So that you can see where the line edge are. Okay, so that looks good. I will go in with the smaller brush on these places, just fill out the harsh edge there. And on this one, I will just erase and use the 6% in brush size and fill that in like that, the same with this one, the same with that one. So I'm just wanting to make it seamless here filling it in where the sharp edges are. That looks good. Erasing a little bit here. There is just a little bit like that. And on this one, maybe we can go for the smaller over here. That's good. The smaller one over there and raising using 6% in brush size. So you can see that I'm just going through this as quickly as I can, just to make sure that you can see where the lines meet up. Like that. And then here. And that one is good. This one is in need of a longer line and 6% in brush size. Erasing. Do we have some more? Yeah, we have quite a few more. So where is the line? There is the line. So this is a little detailed work, as you see, but once you've done it, it's gonna look great. What else? This one. And here we have a little bit there and a little bit there. And a little bit here. Okay, now we're finished with the stripes background and it's repeated seamlessly. Now we can turn on the rest, not the sketch layer, but the heart layers. And we have the texture here. And we can see if we have any sharp lines over here in the texture on the heart, but we don't. And I don't think that we will have it in the edges of the left or right side, either, but I will just flip it around so that we know for sure. So I will tap the group, tap the selection two, save and load, selection four, tap the transform to, flip horizontal. Tap this lexion two to deselect, tap it again to select, Save and load selection three, tap the transform tool, and flip horizontal. Tap this selection tool again to select and tap it. Save and load, selection two, tap the transform, flip horizontal, tap this selection tool to deselect and tap it again, select, save and load, selection one, tap the transform to flip horizontal. What we want to do now is just to zoom in in the center, see if we have a sharp lines. We have a little line here, so I will go to the texture layer and raise with the same brush. So the grangy background erase with a smaller brush, and I will just erase a little bit here over the sharp line so that I can see it in that heart. And in the same for this one. You can also draw in a little bit, so you can go if we tap the there, we can go for gray color. And on the texture layer with the Grange background, you can go in and just add a little bit of texture, not with 100%, but like that. And the same turn off Alpha Look when you do this, add a little bit and add a little bit. Okay, so now we have added details and texture to our pattern 10. Hero Pattern - Test the Pattern: It's time to test our pattern to see how it's repeated. I will swipe down with three fingers, tap, copy all, tap at the top of my layers panel, swipe down, tap paste, tap the three linter dots, split view Safari, and here I will tap and drag my flattened image into my pattern tester, which is linked to in this class, it's a free tool, and then I will just zoom in and out to see how the pattern is repeated. I think that it looks great. So I'm happy with that. Then I will move back into Procreate. And let's just say that we want to change something. So I will just take this heart, for example, and just twist it around a little bit. Then I would take that layer, take the selection tool. Drag around with the selection tool, tap the gray dot to close that, tap the transform tool, and here I could just Oops. I have the flattened image there. So I would do it again. Tap the selection tool, move around the selection. And on that layer, I could just move around this heart until it's in a position that I want it to be. So that is how you would make some changes. If your heart that you want to make changes in aren't at the center here, but are cut off, you need to flip the pattern around again. To make sure that the changes that you want to make that heart is free and not cut off by the edges. Okay, so that looks good. I will actually go into the red layer because I can see that I want to move this heart a little bit. So I can just move it upwards, twist it around a little bit. You know, I can just play around and see how you want your hearts to be repeated to make it a good flow in the pattern. This looked really good, actually. I think I will keep it at this direction. I like that. Okay. So that is how you test your pattern in Safari, and then I will actually swipe down with three fingers again because I move that hard, tap, copy all, and swipe down with three fingers tap paste. I will delete the first one, and then I will duplicate until I have five copies. I will tap the transform tool, tap in the top left corner node, make sure that you have the chain symbol tapped in and type in 1,500. Then I will tap the next layer, tap the transform tool, type in 1,500 on the top, right coronde, tap the next layer. Tap the transform tool and tap the bottom left corner node, type in 1,500, tap the next layer, tap the transform tool and bottom right corner node, and 1,500. Then I will swipe these layers together to merge them. And here we have our finished pattern. I really like how this looks, and you have your repeated pattern here, and you have your parentile. So to sharing class, I would suggest that you share your repeated patterns. I will keep that on the visibility. So now it's time to go to create our secondary 11. Secondary Pattern - Sketching: Let's create our secondary pattern. It's this one. I will tap into the patent template, but I need to duplicate it first, so I will tap select patent template and duplicate and then tap into the patent template. I will clear this first layer. And if you need to, you can tap Canvas reference and bring out the reference. I don't think I did that with the hearts. It's not necessary if you know what you want to draw, but if you would want to have it as is ratio, you can have that there. I don't think that we need it for this one, though. Okay, so for this pattern, it's a bit simpler pattern, and I'm thinking that we will first create the background. So we'll rename this to background. And then I will tap and drag my color panel over here and choose. Let's just choose the darker of the pink, tap the background and tap failure. Then I will tap the plus, and here I want to sketch out my letters. I will do this by turning on the drawing guide. I will tap Canvas, drawing guide, edit drawing guide, with a two degrade. I want to bring it up to maximum. And this is just to get four squares here. You could also, for example, bring it down to what will it be 1005750. And that will give you like four squares in one square. If you think that that's easier when you're drawing your letters. With layer two, I will go for let's go for the darker red color. We can first actually sketch. So let's just rename this to sketch the layer, and I will just sketch I sketch with black and sketch with the perfect pencil, and I will just write an X and an O. So let me just I want this bubbly shapes. Maybe something like that. Then I can swipe right on that layer to duplicate, tap the transform to fft horizontal. And here I can see if I'm happy with how it looks. I think it's a little bit thick. So we'll actually just delete that layer and tap the sketch layer. We can pull this little orange square, which will make your selection around this direction instead of this direction. So just move it around, and then I tap free form. When I have free form selected, I can just go in and make it a little bit thinner. And then tap the transform tool, place it somewhere here in the center, and then duplicate it again, tap the transform tool and flip or something. So now I have an X. I'm pretty happy with how that looks. And now I need an O. So let me just merge these two layers together, tap the layer, tap down. So this is actually let's just rename it to sketch X and then tap add a new layer. And sketch O. No, I could actually do it on the same layer. Let's just do it on the same layer. Sketch. And here I want an O. About the same size as that one with, like, a small smaller hole at the center. So almost like it's the balloon, you know, from the or inspiration. It's almost like a balloon, so it's a little bit more bubbly. I like that look. So then I have my X and my O. You could select around one of the letters and tap the transform tool. And if you have free form, you could go in and make it bigger in any way you want to, maybe like that, and I can do that with the X as well. So I can select around X, tap the transform tool and make it a little bit wider. Then I can move around here and see are they around the same size? Yeah, they probably are. So that is good, maybe a little bit more like that. Okay, so I think that this looks good, and then I would have to transform tool. So now I have the sketch for the letters, and it's time to move on to draw the actual letters. 12. Secondary pattern - Make the Pattern: We made a sketch, and let's draw our letters. I will tap my color palette here so that I have my pre made color palette. And I will drag down the opacity of the sketch. You can tap, drag down the opacity. If you want to, you can keep the guidelines there, and then I will tap the plaster at a new layer, and I will rename this two gs because I would draw one letter on each layer so that I easily can move them around. And I will use my dark red color. And let's go for the dry acrylic. And let's draw this X. Now you can choose if you want to draw just one and then duplicate it or if you want to be a little bit more hand drawn, feel and draw just round it. I would draw one of these and duplicate it, I think. I'm filling it in. You can adjust the details maybe make it a little bit more even in the edges if you want to Okay, I'm starting to be happy with this one. And now I will just duplicate this. I will swipe the right to duplicate, tap the transform tool, and tap flip horizontal. And there I have my X, and I'm super happy with that one. I will tap the top and tap merge down. Then I will tap the plus, and I will rename this to Oh. And with the same color and with the same brush, I can draw this Oh Oops. Here, I want to show you a trick if you want to do it symmetrical, you can tap the Transform tool, Edit ngrade symmetry, and I have my symmetry on vertical, but I need to move it to the center here of my what's it called? Oh, like that, maybe. Then tap done. And now it says assisted on that layer. Something happened there, tap and drag. Oops, I accidentally draw something. So now I have O and assisted, and all I need to do now is to draw on one side and it will be repeated on the other side. So then you have a more symmetrical O. Which might look nice, then you can fill it in. Okay, so I'm happy with that. I can turn off the assisted drawing on that layer. It's a tap layer, turn off the assisted drawing. And then for the guidelines, I might want to bring back my two d grid, and I have it on seven and 50 pixels and tap done. Now I don't need my sketch anymore, so I'll turn off my sketch layer. And here I have my letters. If you want to move in and do some details like this, bottom was a little bit flat here, so just make it a little bit more round. Then you have it like. So now we will create the repeat. So I will do this by really simple technique. I will swipe right on both of these, tap group, and I will swipe right on the group and tap duplicate. And then I will tap snapping and magnetics and bring these ones down here like that. And you can actually try to flip it horizontal. If you feel that this looks good. For me, this looks good. It looks like the same letter. You can do it like that. Or if it doesn't work for you, then you can move the X there and move the O there. But for me, I think it worked well with just flipping it horizontal. So then I have XO O X. These ones on the bottom, I want in the same colors. I will merge those down and I will merge the top ones down as well. And I don't need these groups now, so I can just move those to one group or out of the group and then delete that group. The first one is now we can just rename to second row and first row. And drag that layer down. The second row, now I'm out of the groups, let's just move them out of the group. On the second row, I will tap apalu and tap the white color and tap the layer tap fi layer. Now I have X ox. I'm happy with that. I think the placement is good on the letters. We will see that when we try the pattern out later on. But for now, I will add the texture. Let's move on to the next lesson. 13. Secondary Pattern - Add Texture: Oh, let's add the texture. I will shut down my color panel, and I will actually turn off the drawing guide. And then I want to add some texture just on the letters. I will tap the top here, tap the plaster, add a new layer, and rename to texture. And I will use the bottom color, the background color. And let's try to use square and texture for this. And increase the size a little bit, choose the background color. So if I want to change color of this panel later on, I will just change the color of the texture as well. Okay, so now we have the square texture, and I will just I have around 50% in brush size. Now we'll just move over with a soft pressure to add this crusty texture on the letters. Okay, so this looks super cute. I'm happy with how this looks, and I've added the texture here. And I am happy with this result. 14. Secondary Pattern - Test the Pattern: Now it's time to try out our pattern. I will swipe down with three fingers, tap, copy all, swipe down with three fingers, tap paste, tap the three little dots, split view, tap Safari. And here I will tap my layers panel and tap and drag in my image to the patent tester. Then I will swipe down and swipe up, and I can see that I'm super happy with the result of this pattern. It's balanced in a good way. I like the texture, and I just like the simplicity of it. So if you want to try it out in Procreate, I will swipe the right to duplicate the flatten image so that I have five copies, and then I will tap the transform tool on the top layer, tap the top left corner node, make sure you have the chain symbol tapped in and type in 1,500. Then I will tap the next layer, tap in the top right corner node, and type in 1,500. Then I would tap in the next layer, tap in the bottom right cornonde, type in 1,500, tap the next layer, tap in the bottom right cornone and type in 1,500. And then I will swipe these together to merge them. So here you have your repeated pattern, and here you have your pentile. I will keep my repeated pattern here because when you share your patterns in class, I suggest that you share your repeat the patterns. So let's move on to the blender. 15. Blender Pattern - Make the Pattern: Let's move on to making the blender pattern, and that is this dots pattern. Oops, here, which is super simple. So what we will do is just select the pattern template and duplicate it. This is the last pattern that we're creating in this class, but you might as well save your palm template as an original so that you can reuse it later on. Let me just first rename this to hearts, this to oops, XO. XO XO, and this to dots. Okay, so tap into the dots pan template, swipe to the right on the first layer to clear it. And here I will just rename this to background. So this pattern is pretty simple. We will just start to create the pattern right away. I will tap and drag my color palette to my camas here, tap the dark red, tap the background layer, fill layer, and then I will tap the plaster a new layer, and I will rename this to dots. Now let's just use the dry acrylic brush again. And with a pink color, we can go for this pink. I will just add some dots. And here, it would just be random. I would just draw the dots, and then we might need to move them. Later on if they aren't repeated in a nice way, but I will try to just place them balanced, but not in a row so that the pattern gets a little bit more like dynamic feel. I want a little bit larger dots, I think. I won't mind if they're not perfectly round because I want this little more handrawn look. Okay, so now we created that and we will flip the pattern around. And see how it looks. Swipe the right on both of those layers, tap group, tap the group, tap the selection two, Save load selection four, tap to transform to, flip vertical, and flip horizontal. Tap the selection tool again to deselect, tap it again to select, Save and load selection three, tap the transform too, flip vertical, and flip horizontal. Tap the selection tool again to select Save and load selection two, tap the transform to, flip vertical, and flip horizontal, tap the selection two to deselect, and tap it again to select Save and load selection one. Tap to transform to, flip vertical, flip horizontal. Here we can instantly see that we might need to move around some dots. So let's just tap the dot layer, and I will tap the selection tool, and I would definitely like to move around this one. So now I'm just turning off snapping and magnetics. I can move them free hand and move them around so that they look a little bit more balanced, not too close to each other, like this one to that one or this one to that one. Make sure that when you move around your objects, you have bicubic set in the interpolation to lose as little resolution as possible when you move around these objects in Procrit. So this is just a matter of looking at your pattern and seeing how it will be balanced. Maybe bring that one up, that one down. That one down there, and I might want to draw in one dot or two. Like that. I could make them a little bit bigger if I want to Oops. Okay, so this might look good, and it's time to test our pattern. 16. Blender Pattern - Test the Pattern: Let's test the pattern. I will swipe down with three fingers. I'll just shut down the color panel, swipe down with three fingers, tap copy all, swipe down with three fingers, tap paste, tap the three letter dots, split view, tap Safari, and then I will tap and drag my image to my patentesor on my website and swipe away. I think that this looks really good. We only have one issue, and that's this space that don't have a dot. So we need to figure out where that is. I will move back to Procreate. I want to check. It has the smallest little dot to the left. So then we can see the smallest little dot to the left. So the empty space is probably somewhere around there. So what I will do right away is just to flip the pattern around again, and I will turn off the visibility of the flattened image, delete that, and then I will tap the group, tap the selection tool, save and load. I want to flip the sides in, so I will tap the selection four, tap the transform tool, flip horizontal, tap the selection tool to deselect and tap it again to select selection number three, and tap the transform tool, flip horizontal. Tap it again to the select and tap the selection tool again and selection number two, tap the transform and flip horizontal, then tap the selection tool again, selection number one and flip horizontal. I think that this might be where the empty spaces. Let's just try that out. I will add a dot over here and let's see if that made it work. Swipe down with three fingers, tap, copy all, swipe down with three fingers, tap paste, tap the three little dots, split view, Safari, tap and drag your image to the pattern tester. Swipe away procreate and drag up and down. Yeah, that seems to have solve the problem. So now we will try the pattern out in Procreate. I will swipe to the right and duplicate this, flatten image so that they have five copies. Then I will tap the transform tool, tap in the top left corner node, type in 1,500. Then I will tap the next layer, tap in the top right corner node, type in 1,500. Then I will tap the next layer, tap in the bottom left corner node, type in 1,500 and tap the next layer. Tap in the bottom right corner node and type in 1,500. And I will swipe away or swipe them together to merge them. And I will select both those layers and drag them above the group. And here I have my repeat the pattern, and here I have my parentile. So now we're finished with all of the patterns, and it's time to try out how to recolor them. 17. Recoloring: Okay, so it's time to recolor our patterns. Let's just first start with this blender pattern. So first, I will turn off the visibility of the flattened images, and then we can just try out to change the colors. If you want to change the colors of the dots, you tap the layer, tap Apalok and we could change the colors to, like, a beige, peach, tap the layer again, fill layer. And then if you want to change the color of the background, let's just recolor that to cream white, tap the background and fill layer. So you can tap the dots again, and I will tap the pink and tap fill layer. Okay, so you can decide if you want to keep the let's just try out the little pinkish color there. Okay, so that looks good, I think, like the darker one of the cream white there or the very light pink, and then the pink. So for me, I actually like that more than this, I think. So I will keep that and I can just swipe down with three fingers tap, copy all. Swipe down with three fingers, tap paste, just to repeat this so that I can share it in class. Swipe the right to duplicate that layer, tap the transform tool, tap in the top left corner node, type in 1,500, tap the next layer, tap the transform tool, tap the bottom right corner node and 1,500. Tap the next layer, tap the transform tool, tap the bottom left, corner node, and typo 1,500 and the next layer and the transform tool and tap right corner node and typo 1,500 and merge these together. So now we can see here we have the pattern repeated with the red background and with the white background or the green white background. I really like this, so I will keep that. If you would want to change the colors of something more complex, let's move into the heart pattern. And you could recolor the hearts, turn off the visibility of the repeated images. And that way, you will just tap Apalc let's just make them blue, tap fill layer, tapops, not fill layer, tap apalc and just make them different shades of blue. Tap fill layer, tap apalc on the next one. Tap fill layer and tap alphaok and tap fill layer. If you want to change the colors of the stripes, you tap that layer, tap phalk. Maybe you want some kind of blue stripes here then. Tap fill layer. And if you want to change the color of the background, you tap the background, and let's just go for a Bright, blue, and tap and drag or tap fill there. So now I changed the colors of the whole pattern. It's super simple like that. I want to keep mine red and pink, though, so I will just tap do until I'm happy and back with my colors. So that is how you recolor these patterns in Procreate. 18. Export the Files: Now we will export the files. From here, it's super simple from your gallery. You can just select the patterns if they are repeated or if you want to I can see now that I don't have the pattern repeated there. I have the pattern repeated now, so I can select this and tap Share JPEG and save it to my cameraol so that you can share it in class. If you want to use your pen tile for a product for a project or whatever, you turn off the visibility of the repeated pattern when you're in the file, tap the actions panel, share JPEG. And save your pattern to your camoll or wherever you want to save it. So that is how simple it is to export your files and share your pattern. 19. BONUS - Have a Look at Using Procreate Mockups: So here's a little bonus lesson. I wanted to show you my appropriate mockups. This is included if you watch the class in my membership in the all access plan, my membership pattern Rebos, but I just wanted to show you these mockups because I think they're super cute. So in this class, in my membership, there are five Valentine's Day inspired mockups. We have a gift. We have a champagne bottle. We have, like, a greeting card, and three chocolate bars and a candle with a label. I really love these mockups and I wanted to show you how to use them. So let's just tap in to the Valentine's, the chocolate bar mockup. And here you have some layers. You don't need to touch any of the layers that have a little chain symbol there, but you can change the patterns on the other ones. So let me just turn off the visibility of the patterns, and let's just add the patterns that we have created. So I'll tap the mask layer, tap the actions panel, add insert a photo, and then I will add the dots there. And when you're in this, position, you can move it around and make it larger and smaller and place it on that chocolate bar. Then I will tap the next chocolate bar two, tapped actions panel, insert a photo, and I will just insert my XOXO print, maybe bigger, maybe smaller, move it around. That looks great. And then the chocolate bar one, taped actions panel, insert a photo and add my heart's pattern. And you can zoom in and out on the pattern and move it around the mockup. So this is such a fun way to check out your mini pattern collections, to share your work on social media, or your website, or even to clients. And I really love using procreate mockups. So this was just a little bonus lesson to show you the mockups and to let you know that if you're interested in using them, subscribe to the All Access plan in my Pattern Ribos membership where these mockups is included in this class, which you can watch in my membership in the All Access plan as well. So that was all that I wanted to say about these mockups. 20. Final Thoughts: And that's all for this class. If you only get one thing out of this class, I hope it is that it doesn't need to be complicated to make a 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 into a larger collection, and you can use this collection for any type of purposes. There's no limit to what you can create, and you already done the groundwork by finding inspiration, choosing a theme, and creating this mini collection. If you enjoy this class, I would also recommend checking out my other mini pattern collection classes. Which are about the Halloween theme mini pattern collection and a Christmas theme mini pattern collection. And if you're eager to dive even deeper into pattern design, be sure to check out my membership Pattern Rebels. In Pattern Rebels, you will get access to monthly classes, design resources like Procreate brushes, color palettes, procreate mockups, and Paal Lea templates.
