Scallop and Diamond Patterns in Procreate

1. Welcome to Class: Hello, Skillshare. Let's make patterns together. Geometric patterns are a fun pattern style to add to your portfolio to mix it up from the usual toss pattern or sweet ditzy print or the drab pokert or stripe. At first glance, geometric patterns like a scala print or a diamond pattern can seem complex, but they really aren't. That's what we're going to be focusing on in this class. In this class, I will be taking you through my full process as I create a pretty scallop pattern and a fun diamond pattern. We will start by building out our scallop and diamond pattern shapes correctly so that they will repeat seamlessly. Then we will move on to the really fun part of sketching out our design and then making the final version in procreate. Then we will bring this final artwork into Photoshop where we will test out and build our final patterns. Hello, everyone. I'm Christina chance, an illustrator and surface designer from Maria fret Sweden. I've been working full time as an illustrator since 2010, and I've had the pleasure of working with companies such as Hobby Lobby, paint brush Studio fabrics, Jo Anne American Greetings, et cetera. I've been working with an agent since 2019, Pink Light Studio, and I'd love to welcome you into my Chery Pink Studio. This class is great for anyone who loves working in procreate, but you can also use this knowledge to create the same types of patterns in your design program of choice. It's a fun and simple class for illustrators, surface designers, or other pattern lovers of any level. I really hope you're going to enjoy the class. Let's get started. 2. Supplies and Class Project: All right. Before we get started, I just want to talk to you about what supplies you need for the class, and I will be using the iPad with Apple pencil in Procreate. Again, feel free to use the design program of your choice. I'm sure that you can figure out how to do this. It's going to be very simple, nothing super complex, and then we're going to be using Photoshop at the end because unfortunately, procreate still doesn't have very good pattern features, and it cuts off the edges and it's not very professional. So when I'm creating professional patterns that I'm going to be sending to my agent or clients. I really want to finish them in photoshop. You are free to use the digital brushes of your choice, whichever ones that you like working with. Other than that, that's all the supplies that we need for this class. The class project for this class will, of course, be to create a scallop pattern and a diamond pattern of your own. And you'll be following along in the coming videos, step by step how to create these. So let's just get into it, I guess. 3. Intro to Geometric Patterns: Okay. Before we get into the class projects and start building out these patterns in procreate. I really just wanted to share some inspiration with you. I want to share some examples from my own portfolio, and then I thought we could doodle deep dive into Pinterest so we can get some inspiration for how we can use these types of patterns for our own collections and portfolio. Hello, friends. Now we're on my computer, and I wanted to share with you some examples from my portfolio of how I have used these kinds of patterns in my collections to give my collections a little bit more something. So here's one collection where I have both illustrations and patterns. That's usually how I set up my collections. I think it's really important to have illustrations as well as patterns. It just makes your work more easily to market different kinds of markets. So you can market these two stationary companies and fabric companies and kids wear companies and wallpaper companies and gift companies, and you don't have to create different You don't have to create different portfolios for different clients, which is really nice. That's two examples here, I did the scallop with these lemons. I have a close up here, and it's a little bit more painterly in procreate. I really like how this one came out. It's fun. The shape. It's gloopy. It's like messy. That's in my thing sometimes. And here's another more a diamonds nice. They're really fun to create. It repeats beautifully, and Instead of having the tile on its side, like a traditional tile with squares, which is a fun design, when you put it on its side, as a diamond, it becomes a little bit more elegant, which I really like. I wanted to share also a typical collection that I've created, but doesn't have any variation to it. If you look at this, I have one illustration and then five patterns, and they're all kind of the same. Because they are all tossed. It's all the there's no variation. So for your eye, you're kind of looking at this, it looks like one blob of the same thing, just like florals everywhere, tossed everywhere, butterflies everywhere. But if I had created this collection now, maybe I would have one where the butterflies are in more some kind of geometric pattern. Maybe I would do one that has, like, a stripe look to it or a diagonal stripe or something. I would create one that was in like a scallop or a tile or something like that, just to break it up because this collection is just full on tossed florals, and I think that makes it kind of not as interesting. Let's see. Um Here's another collection where I have different types of patterns. So I have the two placement illustrations, and then I have a tile, like a traditional tile that I was talking about, which are really fun to create. It's not really what we're doing in this class. I have a class about tied patterns, so you can check that out. Now we have tossed, but I just wanted to show you this. This example, we could use that as an example. You just put it on your st on its side and then it become a tile, a diamond pattern. Here's another collection that I created where I have then mixed my florals with some geometrics. And there you can see that it has more variation. I don't know if this is my favorite collection I've ever created, but it's more interesting to match a pattern such as this floral with something that has more structure to it, so it's not like the same thing. And it's also not a solid color. So I think this is a really nice match, and I think that that is something that you can think about when you are creating patterns that match together, not only in color palette, but that they match with having one that's busy and one that's a little bit more simple or one that is more tossed and one that's more structured. Here's another pattern collection. This is just patterns. I don't always put illustrations in my collections, even though I think that's great, but sometimes you can do a full pattern collection. And here I really went for it with the pattern mixing, having blobby abstracts, mixed with those kinds of tiled patterns, mixed with geometric. That's like a check thing. So I just wanted to give that an example of how interesting it can make your collections to have things that are a little bit different than my example with my full on floral. Like it's really pretty. But there's nothing that's making it varied except for the background colors a little bit. Unlest but not least I recently created this William Morris collection with those winding florals, or what are they called? I think they're called that winding. Anyways. Then I also made a scallop and a diamond print. And I created two very geometric tied prints as well, which are really fun. Again, I have that skill share class already. But today, we're going to be focusing on these two kinds of patterns. So here's a close up of my scallop. And it looks really complex because it feels like you had to do a lot of math or it has to sit together intricately. But we're going to be showing I'll show you how to do it, but you just have to make sure that things are even ish. Um, do I have the other one here? And here's my diamond. It doesn't always have to be a square. I think making your diamond a little bit more diamond shaped like a little bit skinnier, is really elegant. So that's that. I thought that we could check out Pinterest to get some more ideas so you can get some ideas going. Remember, it's always okay to get inspiration from other artists and designers, as long as you're not straight up copying somebody else's idea. You can take ideas and then run with that, like, Oh, maybe you like this edge, like a scalloped edge on a scallop shape. How pretty is that? But don't straight up copy what they do, please. But that's really beautiful. So here you can see that they've created another type of shape on their scallop. No, you went away. All right. Scallop scalloped potatoes, Scallop pattern. Here we go. Yeah. And then I like this idea. This one's a lot more tight sitting together rather than my design that I had a little bit more air to it. There's also this kind of scallop that's not it's just like more of the arch rather than showing the bottom bit. What do you call that? Like this bit, you know, that goes down into, like, a little tail. You can make the scallop a lot more could that be called? Rather than a circle, it could be come to a point at the top. Yeah, this is a great shape. T's two three, one, two, three. I like that. The scallop here is another idea. The scallop doesn't always have to be this way. It can be the other side under same thing with this, the scallop going down rather than up. Uh, here to the side. Even more exciting. See, now we're getting so many ideas. I'm getting a little bit excited. Here, like a art deco look. This one's a lot just like two toned. Doesn't have to be so complex. I hope that you're getting some ideas. This one's really beautiful with a different colors, but it's the same geometric kind of abstract shape, just different colors. So if you create a shape, you can color it in different ways and then put that together. That would be really beautiful. Same thing here with balloons. How beautiful is that? They have one, two, three, four colors. So to repeat it nicely, I think you would have to have four, at least, because then it would repeat nicely. Four, one, two, three, four. What, one, two, three, four, five, six. That one has six to repeat nicely. Depends. On how you build it out, we'll figure that out later too. So yeah. There's tons of inspiration for your scallop pattern. Now we can move on to some diamond patterns. I love the idea of a patchwork with different designs in a diamond shape. How pretty would that be? I feel like that feels really feels modern, doesn't it? I feel like I've seen so many youngsters. I'm allowed to say that since I'm 40 now. Wearing quilted coats, like grandma style seems to be popular with younger people. I feel really damn saying stuff like that, but moving on. Yeah. Here's a pattern like I showed you, but on its side. I could totally do that with different colors. You can put different designs within those diamond shapes or you can put a little icon in those little squares there. Yeah. Make your design look kind of trippy with that kind of three D. What else can we do? Yeah. Go kind of traditional with your design in a diamond. So it looks kind of like a toil or something that you'd find in Palace from the 17 or 1800s. What else? Yeah, really, Geometric is fun. But you can fill your diamond shape with absolutely anything. You could draw cute little animal characters for a baby collection. You could draw florals, you can do like this one. It has different here's a quilt, but you could use that idea for a pattern to have different geometric designs within each one. And then again, you would maybe you need it to repeat nicely, so you would either have four or you would have nine. Together to repeat nicely going forward. So yeah. I hope that that gave you some inspiration for your collections when we move forward. In the next section, we're going to get started on our projects in procreate. So I'll see the 4. Build Out Your Geometric Shapes: All right. Time for the fun part, we're going to get started on our class projects of building out our scallop and diamond patterns. Follow the next few videos. We're going to be building out the shapes of the scallop in the diamond. We're going to be sketching. We're going to be creating the final artwork. It's going to be really fun. All of this is happening in Procreate. Let's get All right. My friends, now we're in Procreate, and we're going to start building out our patterns. So we'll start off with making the shell for the scallop shape. So we're going to press the plus sign and create a new size. I will create a new one with you just because I press this. I'm going to go with inches because majority of you all are Americans. Not all, but, 12 " by 12 " new. 12 by 12. So it's like what's 12 " in centimeters. 30 by 30 centimeters. It's a good enough size for a pattern, especially if this is going to be a small icon that you're going to be repeating. So if your swatch is that big, like, around a foot, then it's definitely going to be big enough. You're most likely going to be scaling it down, but it's always good to create artwork that's a little bit bigger than what it's going to be intended. I want 300 DPI that gives me 76 layers. I'm not going to use that many, but you know, I like to work in RGB and procreate because I don't like the CMYK settings there. I prefer to just convert in photoshop later if I need to, which I usually do. So create. Now we have a square, and I thought that I would immediately duplicate this because we're going to have one scallop and one diamond. You, of course, don't have to do things in a square, but I think the scallop shape looks really nice in a square. The diamond, I'm going to make a little bit skinnier. But we'll start with the scallop. And I'm going to bring up the Canvas section here and I'm going to do a drawing guide. We're going to edit the drawing guide. I want to make the grid bigger. Done. And on this layer, I just want to note where the middle is. And then like that. That's all I need to know on that layer. And now I can turn off the drawing guide, so it's not going to annoy us. Yes. Now we have to figure out what we're going to do now. Okay, we're going to have a new layer. And now it is when we're going to draw the scallop. You can do this really. I prefer to do everything hand drawn and I want things to be wonky. I don't want it to be super perfect with lines and things like that. So I'm going to do this by hand. So, Let's see. Go to sketch out. I thought it would be cute to try out. Another shape. That. I'm just sketching it out. And then I'm going to swipe that to the left and duplicate, and I'm going to take that layer, pressing the arrow cursor button, and I'm going to flip it horizontally, and then I'm going to put it into place so that it's in the middle. And now we want it to have that. That's the top part, but the other part has to go into, like, a little like a little cone funnel shape. So the way that we're going to do that is duplicating these little sections as well. And this one, we're going to move down here. And we're going to line it up, so it's in that center piece there. And then we're going to duplicate the other, the top left. Duplicate, and that one we're going to place down here. There we go. So here's my sketch for my shape. And now I'm going to do the final version. Oh, so a new layer. I'm going to choose a different color. We'll do orange, and I'm going to use a sketchy brush. And I'm going to create my shape. I don't want to have the shape go all the way to the edges because when I repeat this shape, I want to have air between. So that's why I'm doing that. So no, I can I can, I guess, these sketches just in case we want to keep them for whatever reason. So, and I can remove that. So now we have my shape. And I don't know. What are we going to do with it? That's what we're going to figure out in the next section. But for now, that's how you create the shape, and you know that it's going to repeat properly because the top is going to be the same amount as underneath. I've made it a little hand drawn and wonky and that's exactly how I want it. I might make this more of a thicker border, like that. So I can go ahead and work on that now because. And then we'll move on to doing the diamond shape. Just fill that in. So we can see that and you can always. Okay. Fine tune racing that corner. But otherwise, I feel like that looks really nice. And I like that it's wonky. It's not perfectly perfectly set up. But if you are more of that kind of you like the perfect lines, then you could do the same thing we did with a sketch, and you can create the top curvy bits of your scallop, and then repeat that over to the other side, and then repeat and then repeat those at the bottom, and then they will be perfectly the same. So that might be more of your thing, but I don't want to do that. Okay. I'm just going to make sure. I want to make this a bit nicer at least. I'm using the dry ink brush, that's my favorite procreate brush that comes with procreate. Just making these edges a bit point not so blobby. Here we go. Okay. Okay, so that is my scallop form ready, and I can use it in the next section to create my pattern. But before we do that, we need to create our diamond shape. So same thing, I'm going to make the drawing guides, and I'm going to edit it so we can see that better done. And here, I'm going to go back to my sketching pencil and here's the top and the bottom in the sides. And here I might also note where I want the And I may be there. Maybe more like here. I don't want it to be a complete square. I want it to be a little bit skinnier. And then I'm going to turn off the drying guides. Again, a new layer. And again, not starting from the actual top, I'm going to Yeah. And then I can duplicate that and then flip it horizontally and then align it in the middle. So it looks good. And then we have our diamond shape. And again, I can merge those together. On top, I will choose another color. Let's do purple. I'm going to choose another brush that I like to work with instead, and I'm going to create the outline here. Okay. Now, we have a diamond shape that was very easy, wasn't it? And I should be good. It doesn't look perfectly even, but I am okay with it being slightly off by like a millimeter. But if you create the top of your diamond too short and the bottom long, then it's going to be it won't repeat well. But if it's just like a millimeter, it's going to be fine. But if it's like a big difference, such as if you drew a diamond shape like this, it's not going to repeat nicely because the next part is going to be like this, you know? It's not going to repeat nicely. But now we're going to have a repeat that goes like this. Yeah. Totally makes sense. Okay, now we can refine these edges, so it's ready to go in our next section. I just want to clean those up a little bit. Because sometimes with a round brush, it gets so blobby on the edges. I was kind of thinking that I liked I wanted to mimic the scallop that I have going on in the other print. So maybe I'll do a little scalloped edge on the inside of my diamond. Could be cute. Okay, this looks a little messy. Could have made those a little bit better, but that's fun. So that's my diamond shape. So that's how you set up these geometric patterns. It's really all about just making sure that the top section and the bottom section are the same width and height. Other than that, it's not more complicated than that. And now we just get to do the designing part, and this is the fun part. So in the next section, we're going to start sketching our design inside of these and see what we come up with. 5. Sketch Out Your Designs: All right, now it's the fun part. We get to start working on the actual design. Now that we've built out what do we call this? We've built out the shape. So I'm going to open up my scallop shape, and I'm going to make sure that I'm not going to draw on that because I'm going to use in the final version. So now I just need to draw what I want to put in there. I have my sketchbook to the side. I can't see this, but I've drawn some flowers that I'm going to reference, and I'm going to just Choose one of them that I feel seems good. I'm going to use the sketching pencil again. There's a lot of different ways that you can do these designs. You can put on the symmetry tool and make it really symmetrical in there or you can do something more freestyle. I'm going to do the freestyle version because I don't want it to be so It's already so structured that I don't want the interior of the pattern to be like, perfect. But that could be a look that you're going for yourself. Totally fine. I'm just going to sketch out some cute flowers. I want to have another bud over here. So I'm going to do that. And then that one is going to have It looks like that. I feel like this, open that up a little bit more. Then I want to have the stem. Then maybe we need another smaller bloom down here. Maybe this one can be slightly open. And then behind all of these, I need some kind of leaves that are going to kind of subtle maybe to fill up the rest of the space, but not so prominent. Something like that, I think that would be really beautiful. I haven't thought really of what color this is going to be, but I guess we can do that in the next section when we start working on the final version. And then I want to do something that's kind of similar because I'm thinking of these as being like working together nicely. But let's see. Again, I don't want it to be so like, so symmetrical. So I'm going to make sure that I'm on a different layer. I'm going to use a different color to sketch it. I'll use this orange again. And again, I want to let's see if I have the bottom of a flower like this. And then kind of more squarish. Petals. Looks nice. And then need some other companion rolls. What could that be? And it's cute shape. Maybe some. Tiny little beds. They haven't quite opened up yet. So those are the prominent. And again, I want some kind of leaf in the background. Something like that. Since this was so quick. Let's work on the color palette as well together. I like choosing a different brush. I'm kind of ing this color palette with these brights. I think that's fun. So I like this purple and this orange and this teal together. But so those are the three main colors of my palette but then we need. I usually like to have a darker version of each and a lighter version. So we'll do a lighter version of the purple. And then that orange, we can do a really nice peach. And one of these, maybe, I'm not sure if I want a darker version of that as well. And then I usually like to have something a little bit. We can work with that, maybe. We can start with that. Otherwise, we can have something a little bit more neutral, like a really light cream. That green. If that's enough, otherwise, something a little bit more Green to go with that. Kind of clashes, but in a nice way, that could be fun. We'll see. Which green I want to go with. I kind of do I like this or do I hate it? I'm not sure. Anyways, we have that as an option. So I'm going to copy that and bring that over into my scallop design as well. I'm going to add paste. There we go, so I have the color palette ready to pick from also when I am going to get started on my final piece. Which will do in the next section? 6. Final Scallop Design: Okay. All right. Now it's time to work on the final piece, and I'm going to just bring down this sketch a little bit, the opacity so that it's not so in our face, but we can still see it. Something like that. And I'm going to again use my dry ink rush. And I'm going to start trying this. I like to work from the back to the front. I really enjoy this the orange border, which I think is fun. So I'm going to consider maybe adding a background color to that. I don't want it to be white. So shall we do the really light peach color. Double checking that I'm not on. Layer. There we go. And then I'm going to start I need another layer and I'm going to draw the stems and the leaves of the flower and to do that, Mike. I'm I eh color. And I'm going to do the stems. Again, I don't like that edge sometimes, so I'm going to just erase it, so it's nice and crisp there. New layer and I'm going to use this t to make the other lines. Not the leaves, I mean. The other. Maybe this is too big. Oh. And I don't follow my sketch. I just use my sketch as the recall that Guideline, and then I figure out the final lines by myself. These ones are kind of on top of the flowers, and then I need to do that on a layer on top of the flowers. So we'll start working on the flowers instead. It's another layer, and then I'm going to use the darker pink and create the flower layers that are towards us. Then I want to do that one. Let me see. So Like that. I'm going to use the lighter pink. And I'm going to put that underneath those. Put that there. And I think this bud I want to be this light pink as well. And then we go back and put those leaves on top of the pink. So we go back to that turquoise. I'm going to put them here. Now, I have to figure out what those little things in the middle. Whatever those are called on the flower, I forget. And those are going to sit. Also, in between the petals there. I think I'll do those the orange color. Okay. Look good. One more. Like that. That is the flowers. Let's turn off this sketch just so that we aren't as distracted by that. I think that looks nice. I'm going to put it on. While I do those leaves in the background, and I talked about having something that was quite subtle, so I'm going to try this other slightly darker peach and see what that looks like. I think that's exactly what I was what I was thinking. Okay. I'm going to turn off my sketch cause we're done with that. I'm going to turn off my color palette here, too, so that's not distirting or we're going to look at what it's looking at looking like. And that looks really nice to me, I feel. But it's very flat and I don't want it to be this flat, so I'm going to start adding texture now. So I've been enjoying adding like a watercolor texture to my work lately. Let's see what shall we do first. I think maybe I want to add some vining to those to these leaves in the background before I do other watercolor texture or something. I'm not sure. So I did a clipping mask on top of those, and I'm just going to add some subtle lines to them. So something's going on on those. Okay. So that added some definition. I we're going to add the shadows, and so I'm going to add a clipping mask. I'm going to change this to soft light. I'm going to turn my layer to. I have a whole skills class about this called shadow and light in Procreate, where I talk about this kind of adjustment layer. I'm just going to do that really quickly. Now. This is my favorite way of adding dimension. I'm choosing a watercolor brush. This is from Max us Max Pax brushes, and I really like that one. So yeah, we're going to do that. Now it's just going to darken these areas, you don't have to think about color. It just darkens and makes it a little bit more dimension there. And again, I'm going to do the same thing for every single layer, soft light with a bruh, black watercolor brush, or this is like dark gray. It's not quite. And here's the same thing for those leaves. I'm just going to make sure that they a little bit of. And same thing, I can just switch my brush to that sketching brush again and I can add that doesn't show, so I'm going to go down to black. Bring the veining out into the leaves. We go. Next layer is the another clipping mask, clipping mask, go down to soft light, move back to my watercolor brush and move up again to that charcoally gray, and now we're going to add this into here. A little bit, especially in the center. And then I'm going to do the sketcher brush with the black with this one because this but I wanted to look like it has the The petals. Mm. Next, we have those whatever they are called in the flower. Clipping mask, soft light. Water color broach. And here you could just see that it brightens and darkens the colors there, just makes it a little bit more interesting. Now we're going to do this one. What's cool about doing this so that if I did want to change colors of these flowers, I don't have to go and change these adjustment layers. Soft light. I can show you that in a second. Just remember what I'm doing. Okay. I can just show you that real quick. I'll do the purple one first, and then I'll show you. Clipping mask. Soft light. Modern color brash Okay. So if I went into this purple and I decided I wanted a different color, like, I'd want to turn it into red instead. I could do that and I don't have to do that adjustment layer. The red doesn't show up these very well, but if I change it to blue. Can see that those shadows follow with your changes rather than oh, if I had made my shadows a dark red, then I have to go in and just that layer two. So that's just something that I really enjoyed doing, especially helpful if you do change your colors and work with that. So that's that. And then I want to bring some definition to the frame as well. So I'm going to add a clipping mask to that one. I'm going to soft light, take my charcoal color watercolor brush, and I'm just going to bring some definition to especially at the corner that looks good. It gives it kind of like a three dimensional look. How does that look? Just slightly something different is happening rather than It being so flat. So that is that. I can test out possibly a different background color to go. If I want, what color do we want it to be in between the scallops? Is that going to be white so it becomes quite crisp? Is that going to be nice? Could be? Let's just test out if it looks good on something else. We don't have our colors. I think that turquoisy color. I'm not even sure if it was that one. It's not quite the same. Background? This one. We had that between. I feel like it's too right if I made it. Stop. Background color. We need this a light turquoise. I still feel like maybe it's buzzing too much. I'll just go with white for right now. I'll just go with white for right now. I'll keep it clean and precise. And we'll check that out in the final version when we make the final pattern. That's something that we could work on. It could also potentially look really good on a darker background. Let's just try that too. Like if we took this orange. And we find a darker version of that. Okay. Let me go down to backgrounds. That could look interesting. Be very vibrant. Let's save that for now because in photoshop, we can always make that a different color. I can easily change background colors. There's one more thing I want to test. I want to test out that purple that we had. So I'm going to test out that one too. Let me turn off that. Now we're going to go background color, and the dark purple. W I like that better. Let's keep that for right now. That looks nice. I feel like it pulls it together and the scalloped edge really pops, and then it's lighter in the middle. But then, oh, I like this. I remember, you're going to embellish this as much as you want. You can go into this scallop, and we could if we wanted to create some designs in there. Let's see. Would that look good? Let's see. I could create some designs in here. To make it look really Okay. Embellished. And hand drawn. Do I like that or not? Kind of kind of like it. Kind of don't like it. I made that one very sloppy, but it was just a sketch. I think I want to keep it clean. So that's just an idea for you. So you can always go in and balsh these and work on these in your style, if you have lots of details or if you keep it really clean and simple. So that's what I did for there. So that is the scallop done? Now we're going to go in the next section, work on our diamond pattern. 7. Final Diamond Design: All right. Now we have finished the scallop. Now we can finish the diamond. And so let's get started on that. And now that I kind of have what my scallop design looks like. Now I have an idea of how I want the other one to look like, and I thought I would kind of be like the opposite of the other. So I really like the look of the purple with the orange. So maybe I will already go ahead and add that orange as the background color. Cause I thought that was so vibrant and interesting. Again, I'm going to make sure to have that center. Color? That light, that didn't work. What brush are we on? Man. On the wrong brush. That's the way. Go. Now, the background is set, so that's going to be vibrant and fun. And now we can just make sure that that sketches lower opacity, and I'm going to again start working my way for. So I'm going to do those stems with that darker color. I'm going to make these the same. Color. Is those, and then I'm going to add a new layer. I'm going to do those first to leaves. Or petals, I mean? I'm going to do the orange color. I'm going to do the ones in the front. I actually want these behind so that that edges nice. And then I'm going to do behind those petals I want. Should I do We'll do dark or let's do that dark orange that we found. It's very dark. Maybe it doesn't need to be quite that dark. So I'm going to choose a slightly darker. Double two finger swipe to the right to make an alpha lock or you can just click it there and fill that looks better softer. I'm also going to use that color to do the dots. Let's see. I like my sketches. Distracting put it underneath everything. It's on Alpha Lock. That's why. Dots. I don't like them being on underneath the stem. So I'm going to redo that. I'm going to do on top of the stems so that they sit on top. Water. Then I can do this. Maybe in that light peak, maybe would be nice. And I could consider doing matching those two. Realize I didn't draw this stem for this one, but we can. We can add it in later. We'll make sure to add that little stem in like that. And I think I'm going to do that purple for these ones. That looks nice. And then again, I'm going to do that darker peach for the leaves in the background. Put that there. And Add You're going to turn off this sketch 'cause it's confusing. To see. Oops. I go. Maybe I will leave the other ones at the top open or should I add in leaves there too. I distracting? Yeah. I prefer it cleaner like that. So that's our initial drawing. Now I'm going to add in all these shadows that I did before. So the first one I just did mines, I think. But I can do Stop light. My skip pencil. There we go. That looks really pretty. And then I'm going to add all my shadow layers to the rest of everything, clipping mask. Sop light. Just love how subtle it looks but really beautiful and easy to change. Maybe with this one, I want to add some other details as well. That looks. Brought that to life. That's nice. Now we're going to add shadows to that stem. Go back to mask. Light. Just a little bit to those dots. Same thing to these. That's it. So there we have my final diamond done. No, wait. I haven't done the diamond shape, too. I had a leftover layer there that I made by accident. Soft light, clipping mask. And we're going to do the same thing here. L Dimension. I really dark in the corners here. I think that looks nice. Here we go. Now it is done. Okay, so then if we go into the gallery, you can see them together. It's kind of opposites of each other, but they're not they're like, same, but different, but totally different. And I really like color turning out. So the next section, we're going to be bringing these into photoshop. And if you need help with that, I can do that here. You select your two, press, PSD. It's exporting. And now you choose where you want to save it. I'm going to save to save to files in dropbox. Yeah. I don't know. I can teaching somewhere. I'll put them here. So, see you in photoshop. Okay. 8. Finalize in Photoshop: Okay. All right. Now that we have finished all the designing part in Procreate, it's time to upload your image into Photoshop. Make sure that you're saving your file as a PSD. All the layers are going to come with you. It's really important. And I will see you in Photoshop. All right, my friend. I decided to make it Cosi put my little lamp on. Hope you enjoy that. I should have had that on the whole time. All right. Now we are in photoshop and we're going to finish these off, and I'm going to show you just how insanely easy it is to finish this pattern and you'll have a pattern like 2 minutes. Okay. So we're going to check out our file that we brought in. Here's all the layers over here. We can delete those sketches that you don't need those. Else can delete that other sketchy thing that I don't want. Now I'm going to create a group of all the layers except for the background. Group. So I'm going to select all of them. Command G to make a group. And I'm going to pull this group to this plus sign to make two groups because we're going to duplicate it twice. All right. And then we're going to go up here to view pattern preview. And now you can see already our pattern is repeating beautifully, and this is a beautiful look too. You could create another little icon and put it in the empty space here like another little flower and have that could be really cute. That wasn't really what we were going for. So we are going to make sure that the auto select is up here and it's on group. And now I'm just going to pull this over into the empty space. And we're just going to place it. And look. If it's perfectly because we did a good job with our measuring, it's a little wonky in there, but that's exactly what I wanted. And doesn't that look beautiful? One thing that I want to try is to see if I flip it. What would it look like? Like this looks really nice. But let's try flipping this. So this whole group, we're going to command T, and then we're going to flip it. So right, click, flip horizontal. There we go. That looks nice. So then becomes even more variation. I'm going to move it with my arrow keys just a little bit to the left because it's a right, I guess. Give it better space. Because when it was flipped, it gets a little bit awkward. Yeah. That's it. I think that looks great. If you wanted more space in between that, you could change the size of your groups. Of course, again, transform. It gets awkward in the pattern group. Let's see. Is it this one? Yeah, that one. You have to change the stuff that's inside that pattern preview. So you could change the size of that to be different, you know? You wanted to change the sizing, and then you could duplicate this again and redo that, replace it. But I thought it was nice, how it was. I like that it's tight and fits together like that. It's really nice. And I really like how just flipping it on the other, it just gives that nice movement. It's really nice. Really nice. How many times it said nice. Okay, edit. I have to make sure it's not on transform mode edit. Define Pattern. I'm not going to name it. Now it's in my pattern, whatever this is called my patterns over there. This one's done, I can turn off pattern preview, and you can see that my swatch has been updated. So this is your final swatch. But in comparison to procreate, all of this information would be cut off, and you couldn't move anything around, but you have everything still in your layers, and you can move things around if you needed to wanted to. That's why it's really important to work in photoshop, I think, when you're finalizing your patterns rather than just in Procreate, because Procreate doesn't have this option yet. Maybe it's something that they will Released later, not cutting off the edges. You can work around it. And if you're creating patterns just for your spoon flower shop or your own website or your own things, so you can use Procreate as much as you want. It's just a little insight. Okay, so our Scallop is done. Now we're going to do our diamond, and we're going to do the same thing here. We're just going to clean up the file by taking away our color palette. We're going to take away whatever that was, I think the sketch. And then here are the other sketches. Take away that. Then we're going to make a group of the whole diamond. Command G. And again, we're going to duplicate that. Okay. And pattern preview. I'm going to zoom out a little bit, and then we're going to again, it's on group, and we're going to pull the group over and place it. And here you're going to see this one had quite a lot of space, and that's nice. And again, I want to try flipping it to see what that looks like. Li Looks nice. Doesn't that look fun. We could make this one bigger to make that empty space, less. Or if you don't want to increase your artwork size, you can make the size of the canvas smaller, so go all the way to the edges, a little bit more to the edges. But I'm going to keep it like this because I like it. And it becomes a little bit different than the other one. You can zoom out and look at it. It's very graphic. It's very fun. All right. Same thing. Make sure that, you know, click there, edit, define pattern. And now it's in our panel over here, the pattern panel. And I thought that I would show you how I like finishing off my work. So here's a cell sheet that I have. I would update the SKU and whatever I would call this if I was creating a collection or something like that. So here I have my rectangle there, and I'm going to go down here to that circle and add a pattern. It's one of my other patterns, and we go down to the bottom. We start with the scallop. Press okay for now, and then I'm going to do a clipping mask. So in between these two layers, the pattern and that rectangle, you see that finger. And if you press option, it becomes a little clipping mask symbol. Now, obviously, you can't really see the pattern because it's so big. So if you double click on the pattern again, you get up this again. Scale. We can scale it down to that's too small. Something in the middle. Like this, 56 45. That seems good. And then you can just move it around until it looks beautiful in your page. That is that one done. Again, I would write the title of the collection or the title of this piece. And this is how I would present it to my agent, or how you would present it to your clients, you can send off when you have new items, you would put it in a sale sheet like this, and you could send it off to your clients, be like, I have a new collection. Here are a few of the pieces. What do you think? Then you have your information and everything on this sheet. So if they were to print it from their e mail and show it to their team or something, your contact information, your e mail address is always a part of your image, the file. I have a whole class on this on skill chair, too. It's called file Organization something. All right. So that's that. Let me just open another one of these so we can I can show you. Let's see. Do the same process to put in a pattern, to go down to the diamond. And right now while we're at it, we can change the scale here since we know about 56. 54. Maybe this one can be smaller. We'll see. Like that. And again, you can just pull it around until it sits nicely, how you like it a little bit more. Like that. And now we have our two geometric patterns done. I think they look beautiful together. I think they match beautifully with their color palette and the types of brushes that I use and the motif of flowers that are a little bit more flat and stylized. I like that they I really like the scallop pattern. I think this turned out really beautiful. I love the bold orange color mixed with the purple and that teal. And I like how this one has more of that airiness. So it's not as busy as this one. This one feels really busy. And this one kind of feels a little bit more airy. But, I really enjoyed sharing this process with you and I hope that you enjoyed it as well. I'll be blabbing on the next few sections about what you can be doing next and how I'm so excited to see your class projects. But I really, really am. I hope that you learned a lot in this class, and you were inspired to create these kinds of patterns and realize just how quickly they are. I think, what did it take? I showed my process in real time. I think creating these two patterns took about 30 minutes, 40, 45, 30 minutes. I don't remember. It didn't and if I wasn't talking, it would have been even quicker. So definitely like 30 minutes for two patterns. You can do that, too. Or you don't have to you can spend a lot longer. If your process, you can spend a couple hours if you want. I don't want to stress you out if you're not a quick worker, like me, I'm quite quick. But it comes with experience, I guess. But thank you so much for watching. I'm starting to babble now. Okay. That's enough for this section. Bye. 9. Next Steps: Okay. Alright, my hope is that you feel really comfortable making these kind of scallop and diamond geom types of patterns, and you're excited to add these to your collections and portfolio. To keep the momentum going, I would love to share some next steps that you can take. You, of course, should always think about the different types of patterns that you're creating within a collection so that they're not all the same, not all, all striped. It's really nice to have that variation. So think about that next time you're creating a collection to have variations such as a tossed pattern, next two striped pattern, next to a geometric pattern. And I think that you'll be surprised by how much more dynamic and interesting your collections are going to be. I would love for you to enliven or ignite an old collection by adding a new geometric pattern. Now that you've learned how to do that, it's fun to add these kinds of patterns into a floral collection or kids collection. The sky is really the limit for how you can use these types of of patterns. They can be really traditional, or they can be really fun. And last step, I would love for you to remember that this is supposed to be fun. Baking patterns is really fun. You don't have to just use the tips that I shared in this class, like roll with that. What other kinds of shapes can you create that can be repeated beautifully, and I'm sure that you're going to come up with so much awesome stuff. I really can't wait to see your projects in the project gallery. 10. Keep Learning with Me: Okay, that's it. The class is all over. I really hope that you enjoyed this class and that you got something out of it that you now find these kinds of geometric patterns quite easy to create 'cause they are aren't weren't they? It wasn't that bad, right? Wasn't like we had to use tons of math or something. I really look forward to seeing your projects in the class project gallery. So please upload your scallop and diamond prints or if you came up with a different shape that you want to share, I'd really love to see them. Also, let me know if you'd like any feedback, and I'd be happy to give you that. Otherwise, I'll just give you, like, a thumbs up. Did excellent work. Thanks so much for sharing kind of thing. If you enjoy learning with me, I'd love to share my patrion with you. I have a monthly membership called collection Club, where we design popular surface design collections together with different popular surface design themes such as birthday, florals, Christmas. Okay. And I would love for you to check that out. It's a great place if you need some more motivation and inspiration to create collections every single month. At the end of the month, I always have a feedback session as well, and I've gotten so much good feedback. If you join now, you have over a year of content to Bin John as well, which is really exciting. Other than that, you can check me out on my website, cstina.com or Instagram at cstina Please make sure to follow me here on skill share too so that you'll be notified when I come out with my next class. See you then. Bye.
