Seamless Polka Dot Patterns in Procreate: A Beginner’s Guide

1. Class Introduction: Hi, everybody. Welcome to this class on How to create your own seamless PulcatPatterns in Procreate. Hi, my name is Srihari. I'm an illustrator and a digital artist. In this class, you'll be learning what polka dot pattern is, how to create a seamless pattern out of it. And actually, after taking this class, you'll be able to create patterns like how you see on the screen right now. We'll go at it step by step, in terms of how to create your own pattern tile and then create variations using color, size, positions, and even create multiple combinations of these. And even at the end, you'll be creating your own seamless Procreate brush based on the template which you have done in this class. This class is designed with beginners in mind, so it is very easy to follow. As part of class prerequisites, you might need only an iPad and an Apple pencil with it, and the latest version of Procreate installed in after taking this class as part of class project, you'll be able to do at least two different seamless polcar dot pattern tiles in Procreate, which can be used to be printed on merchandises or even created as a backdrops for various use cases. I'm so excited to share everything I know about creating these polka dot patterns in a seamless fashion in Procreate. I'm so excited for you to go through every single lesson step by step. I'll meet you in the class section below. 2. Understanding Seamless Polka Dot Patterns: So welcome to the first lesson of creating a seamless pol car dot patterns. So firstly, what is a pol car dot, okay? So it is a pattern style which was kind of created in 18th century, and eventually had different variations of it. But to its base or foundation, what a pol card dot pattern is is it kind of consist of circles arranged in a particular way in rows and columns. Okay? And if you see on a major scale, it can be classified as two different styles. The first one is what you see on screen, which is it's been orderly arranged in a balanced way. Let's say one below the other like that, and one next to the other. So it's just like copy and paste of creating one single pattern. A similar fashion. There's a different style called offset. Okay? So basically next line will be in between on the gap of the top layer. That's one style. So these are the main two types of polka dot patterns, which usually has been created. Not necessarily that we can't create multiple variations. You will see in the class section below, especially in the lessons where you learn how to create multiple variations using different sizes, position, colors, and even shapes in a way. But polka dot, to its core is made using circles alone. But in this class, we can do slight kind of variations and bring in other styles also into creating a seamless pat, right? So first, so basically, once you know, so basically now, since you have already known what a pol cutout pattern is as a introduction, it's good enough for you to start off with creating your patterns. Okay? So we'll start off with creating our own template first to create a seamless pattern in pol carpat. So first, uh, tap the plus icon on the top right hand corner. And then create a custom canvas. In this case, I'll go with 1,000 pixels by thousand pixels and a square shape. Y square shape, you will see eventually that for seamless pattern, square shape is the best shape to start off with for a pattern tile. Okay? But you can always do with multiple sizes also that is possible when you are creating a seamless pattern. So we'll go with thousand by 1,000. So DPA ensure it's at least 300 because you might not be printing it out immediately. But if in case you're printing, the DPA matters a lot in terms of the clarity of the pattern. So always ensure it's 300. About the maximum layers, it depends on your iPad and its RAM. So for me, I have 264 layers, it's good enough. It's more than good enough for seniors pattern. But ensure you have at least 30 to 40 layers available. Accordingly, you size your uh kind of the whole canvas, right? Once you actually once you check all these things for the color profile, the next version, I would recommend you to go with RGB in the first place because I understand when you're printing things, it's better to go with CMYK and when you're doing something for digital, let's say, websites or let's say posters or something like that, conditional posters, then RGB is better. But we'll start off with RGB and if in case we want to print out our designs in the future, then we can always convert it using different um um, kind of tools available, right? Once these things are set, now tab the top right hand corner, tick Mark then you'll get a new canvas here. Now, firstly, before going into creating a template for our kadapulca patterns, one very important thing I would want to start off with is to know how a seamless pattern will function in the first place. Okay? So let's say we have a square canvas. The oral ideas, whatever we do in the top part should be half of what we want, and the other half should be in the bottom. Right? And in a similar fashion, whatever we do on the left should be resembling the thing which we do on the right. Is it clear? So I'll give you a basic example. Let's say we are creating a box or a square kind of thing. Right? So once this is done, duplicate it. Move one to one half, other one to the other half. Okay? Now, we have a small shape like this, right? So combine them, duplicate it again, and change the angle. Move it ensure it is exactly in the corners. Now since this is done, combine all these things, duplicate it, select both and reduce the size by half. You'll see the snapping is on the magnetics and snapping. Once it's on, you will see exactly when you move, there'll be a slide snap where it'll go and fit in there, right? Now, select the second layer alone and move it to the right. Do you see a difference. So in our patent tile, we had drawn only the half a square. Okay. But when you combine with the next patent tile, you will see a complete square. Again, if we combine both these things, duplicate it and move it to the bottom, again, see that, you know, you find a complete square in the kind of bottom also. This is the idea or how a seamless pattern functions in the first place, right? So in the next class, we'll start off with, uh, creating pattern tile for our um, kind of polka dot patterns, okay, with circle and exact template. And then we'll go about creating a pattern. 3. Creating a Base Template: So welcome to Lesson two. Now that you have learned how a sems pattern functions, now we will create a template for our Pol cart patterns. Okay? So we'll go for the new custom canvas, tap the plus icon on the top right hand corner, and then go for square, preferably thousand by thousand. In the previous class, we have seen how to detail how to create a canvas size, so you can, um kind of go there. Now, you have a square canvas right now, right? We'll create a circle the center, okay? Ensure you choose the monoline brush under the calligraphy. Okay. In terms of the size of the brush, anything is fine, I'll go for 20. Then draw a circle. It need not be a perfect circle since we have options in Procreate. If we tap the other finger on the screen, when the pencil is intact, it'll become an exact circle, perfect circle, right? Now, remove your hand and pencil at once. So you'll get a perfect circle now. Now, tap the actions. Now tap the actions and an option called fit to Canvas, right? Tap that. So a circle is fit to Canvas right now. Now fill that circle with black. You just have to select the black color with your Apple pencil and then drag and drop it into your circle. Now, once we have a complete circle, this will be a basic overall template, on which we'll work on. Perfect. Now in this class, we'll be creating two templates, one for the classic organized polkart pattern. The second one is for the offset pattern which we talked about, right? For the first balanced version. Duplicate this. Keep it and actually kind of rename the kind of bottom layer as base original. So we won't touch it. We'll use the same circle for the other pattern also. So we'll keep it just there intact and hide it. Now, choose a second layer and can choose the first layer now on which we'll be working on. Duplicate the layer, select both, and move it to the top left hand corner, ensure it snaps on in the corner. So now you have two, let's say, kind of quarter circles, okay? We'll select the both, we'll reduce the size a bit. Now, this is good enough. I'll select one of those, move it to the top right hand corner. Enjoy it snaps that is very, very important. Once it snaps to the corner, you have to flip it horizontally. So you have an option here, second option. You can flip it horizontally. Okay. Now combine both these things. Duplicate it by swiping from right to left and then duplicate the layer. Again, move the new layer which you have duplicated to the bottom. And then now you flip it vertically, right? Once you flip it vertically, it becomes like this. Right? It doesn't seem like something very special, right? But this is your template for your first seamless pol card pattern. I'll show you how it becomes a seamless template. I've combined both these layers, duplicate it. Now rename the bottom layer two, first template. Okay? So template one. And hide it. Now to test the template because it's always best to test the template. So we'll go for the first layer, duplicate it once again and select both the layers, reduce the size by half. Perfect. So now, select one of those layers and move it to the right. You see that the kind of quarter circle of the first tile and the quarter circle of the second tile has combined and become a half circle in the center. This is how a seamless pattern functions and how we have seen in the previous lesson. Now we are doing it for circle because specifically polkarPatns consist of circles, right? Now, now combine both these layers and duplicate it once again and move it to the bottom. Now, you will see a complete circle in the center, right? So this is how you create a Polkar dot pattern. Now again, duplicate it just to test it. We can continue the same process again. I'm just skimming through since you already know how to do this. We do this just to test how a dot pattern is on a larger scale, right? So it looks good. There is no problem in terms of middle lines. Everything is synced well. So this is what we want for the pattern template. So for the classic polka dot patterns, we have a pattern template ready. We can delete the layers and keep the template one as intact. Duplicate the base original to create the second template. Okay? Hide. Now, once you have this particular template with you now now instead of moving the circle to the corners, we'll be moving them to the edge. Okay. Now, how do you do this? First, again, reduce the size by half. Okay. Once you can reduce the size by half, move that circle to the left edge, ensure it snaps on the place. Once it snaps, you're good enough, right? The size might seem a bit bigger, so we'll reduce the size also a bit. That's good enough. Now, duplicate it. And move it to the right edge, see when it snaps and then flip it horizontally. Now, again, combine both these layers, duplicate it, and then rotate one single set uh to 90 degree. Perfect. So this is a pattern tile lamp. Okay? I'll rename it as template. But I've already talked about that we have to test the pattern, right? I have to test the pattern tile. So duplicate this again, kind of hide the bottom template, and then the top one we'll try it out, duplicate it. Come, select both, reduce the size by half. Can you see in center, it becomes a circle now. Duplicate it again, bring it to the bottom. Do you get it? You see a difference onto both patterns. The first pattern was a classic pattern. There'll be one circle underneath the other circle. In the second pattern, there'll be one circle between the two circles on the top. Combine both, duplicate and bring it to the bottom. See the difference here. So this is a second template which you have created. Now, what is the significance of template? Because when you're brainstorming a Polkar dot pattern, instead of thinking so much that, Okay, how do I create this particular style and all those things, you will just fill up the particular space in the template, and it becomes a seamless pattern. That's the overall idea. Perfect. Now we'll delete this particular thing, and we'll have templates like this. Okay? Now, and actually kind of now that you have learned how to create a template for your polkot pattern. In the next lesson, we'll talk about color palettes and how to save them in your um, um, let's say, your canvas so that you can implement the color styles immediately in the polcdt patterns. 4. Creating a Color Palette: Now, welcome to the Lesson three. Um, so in the previous lesson, you talked about how to create a pattern template and a pattern tile template for both, kind of, like, first template and the second template, both. Now in the third lesson, we'll talk about how to create a color palette so that when you brainstorm and kind of finalize your design, it'll be easy for you to just kind of, like, bring in the colors and, kind of complete your artwork or actually, in this case, the seamless, Polkadot patterns, right? So for that, we'll open a new canvas now. In this case, uh, a vertical canvas is good enough, okay? I'll actually show you exactly why it is so when we import colors as a reference, right? So go for a new canvas. With 500 is good enough, or even you can go with 300 also. But in my case, I will go with 600. And height is 1,000 and everything else can be seen. And once everything is checked, you can tap the top right hand corner check mark so that you have your canvas. Perfect. Now, how we will plan the overall things, we'll plan the color palettes. We'll have multiple color palettes in the same image. That is very important. So in this case, let's say we divide into four parts. So we'll have one color palette here. The other here and so on and so forth. So in one color palette sheet, you'll have four color palette sets which you can use on your designs. Okay? Perfect now. We'll start off with this. Switch switch on the grid line so we exactly know where we are placing things. So how to switch on a grid line, go for actions. There's something called drawing guide, tap that, then go for edit drawing guide, increase the grid size. Since you remember that our overall height was 1,000, we need to divide into four, right? So 250 is good enough. So we can tap 250. Done. We'll bring the blue collar point to the corner. So exactly we have all the four, let's say, vertical halves, and then press tick mark on the top right hand corn, right? That's good. Now, we'll create a circle first. It can be a normal circle, that's totally fine. And once you see this particular style, and using the other finger tap on the screen, so it becomes a perfect circle. The size, you can alter it according to your that particular, you know, as we talked about the strips, right? So move that circle to its position. You see it's bigger than our set. So we reduce the size. Perfect. So this is good enough. We'll fill it up. We'll duplicate. And we'll move it sideways. Again, duplicate it. Move it sideways. You see that I'm overlapping things, but it's totally fine. That's actually one option you can do. You can overlap your entire palettes like this. Or you can even keep them separately. It's totally up to you. If needed while moving, you can remove the snapping tool also, so it's easy for you to move things around, right? Now, I'll group it and duplicate the group and paste it on the bottom. Now for the bottom, I can have different variations. In this case, I'll have only three, right? So I'll remove the last one. And the bottom two, I'll have only two. Okay? So again, I'll remove the last one in the new group and move the new group to the bottom and duplicate it again and move the new tool to the bottom. So you see we have four different rows, and first row has four colors. Second row has three colors, and third and fourth row has two colors each, it's totally up to you. I'm just creating variety in my own color palette sheet, but it's totally up to you how many colors you want to use in your palette. Now, how do we choose? So we'll kind of hide all the other groups. We'll start working on the first group. Okay. Now, in terms of colors, how do you choose colors? Okay? That is a very organic process. Okay? You can either choose complementary colors. You can choose colors which are completely opposite to each other, or you can choose colors which are in a way in a similar shade. Although that is also possible. Okay? So we'll go with, let's say purple, dark purple. So you select the layer which you want to fill it up with, right? So that is our color for that particular uh, layer. Then slightly we are reducing or you can go with complimentary, which is exactly opposite of this particular color. We will actually go into complimentary colors for the two color palettes. For this thing, we'll again go with a similar just in a lighter shade. Yeah, this is good enough. Now we have in this case, we can have a complimentary color, right? And then bring it on here, then reduce the color intensity in terms of darkness. So this is our first color palette. You will see that color palettes are based on how you look at those color combinations, how they're combining between the other color. So this is our first one. Now, since this group is done, we'll start with the second group. So this is the first one. So in this clase, since it's three, we can go with the shades of RGB. Okay, red, green, and blue can do that. Yeah, perfect. So we'll go with this red. It's a bit um, it has its own charm to it. It's not very bright red, right, and blue. You'll see that I'm keeping the central circle in the same place. So it has a similar shade to it in terms of its intensity. I'm just changing the oral base colour. Red, blue, and green. I'm sorry, I had to change the layer. Yeah. Perfect. So this is a second palette which we have. Third one. In this case, we can go with complimentary since we have only two colors with us now. Let's say orange and blue are complementary. So we'll go with an orange shade. Then for the other color, we'll go with the blue shade. Not fully dark blue, but a lighter shade of blue. See this beautiful color palette, actually. These two colors go very well with, uh, your kind of kind of extra pol cat patterns. You can slightly reduce the blue shade and make it a bit more dark. Yeah, that's good enough. And for the fourth color palette, again, this is complete organic process, you need not have to have a stringent rulebook because there are rule books which you can follow for color palettes, but it's your own design. You're personalizing it for yourself, right? So try out with multiple color sheets. Okay? Only then you will get to know this, um, this by experience that how to pick colors which are complimentary or for a specific design, how do you pick a color? Only then you will get to know it. So that's the overall idea of creating multiple color palette sheets, right? So for the fourth color palette we'll go with and green. Yeah. So we have gone with red, in a way, orange shade and blue shade, right? Can go with red and purple. Or actually we can sometimes go with black and white also. Or we can go with black and gray. That is also possible. It can become a bit I can become a bit more kind of actually monochromatic, but that's also fine, right? Red, blue, purple, yellow. We have an yellow. So in the entire color pie we don't have yellow, so we'll go with yellow this time. Yeah, that's bright. Yeah, this color pade is also good. We can darken the purple a bit. Yeah, so it's not very harsh on our face. That's the overall idea. So we have four color palettes right now, right? Now, we will hide the dry guide, and then export it by placing an option called share in the actions and export it as JPEG. Okay. Yeah. JP. And once it's exported, it'll ask you where to save it. You can save it in the save images if you want to save it and go in actually Apple photos. Or if you want to save it to files, that's fine. I usually save it in, let's say Apple photos itself so that it's visually available for me to pick when I'm kind of choosing to import it as a reference into Procreate. So save image. Perfect. So we have exported our kind of color palette sheet, which we'll be using for our designs. So in the next lesson. So basically before starting the lesson, you'd have already had a knowledge of what a seamless kind of polkart pattern is, two different styles of it, and you'd have already created a template by now in the previous lesson. And now you have a color palette sheet also with you. So then we'll combine all these learnings, and in the next lesson, we'll create first brainstorm an idea for Polka dot and then we'll create a final design and make multiple colors out of it. I'll meet you in the next se 5. Designing Your First Polka Dot Pattern Tile: Now, welcome to Lesson four, where in this class, we have all the things required to create a seamless kind of Pol Codd pattern. Now, we'll actually start off with opening a template file which we have, right? Open the template file. Or more importantly, you can duplicate it. You can swipe from right to left and duplicate the file and then work and actually kind of rename the file to working. So this will be a working file where you create your seamless pattern, okay? Open the working file. We'll start with any pattern, any one system. In this case, we'll go with the offset pattern. Okay? When you say offset, which means that there's actually one circle on the bottom between the top two circles, right? When we say classic pattern, which means that the circles are just underneath the top circles. So we'll start with offset pattern. So there are two options which you can approach the pol cut itself without any variations. One is exactly circular pattern. Okay? Where it's exact circle, there is no change in it at all. Okay? That's one option. Our second option is you hand draw it. Okay? So when you hand draw it, there's a slight imperfection, which is actually beautiful on a longer run when we see the polka pattern. Okay? If it's exactly circular, it has its own use cases, but in this case, we'll start with the hand drawn style of it, right? So first, we'll actually brainstorm it. So for that, reduce the opacity of the template. So it's easy for us to brainstorm on top of it. Now, um, we can basically what I want to do is instead of creating an entire circle, okay? I'll draw the circle with hand and then see how the pattern goes or just fill it up with something else. Okay? So we'll start off with the pattern now. We have the uh template with a reduced opacity, right? So let's say you have, this, right? Now, there's one more thing which I want to add on. We'll actually open up the drawing guide so that, because remember, when we talked about seamless pattern, as I mentioned, the top part and the bottom part should be similar, and the right and left part kind of at should be similar. So if you draw manually like this, the other side also should be similar, but we might not be able to get exactly that, right? So what we will do is we'll open the actions menu, again, go to Canvas, go to drawing guide. It drawing right. Then in the last is an option called symmetry, right? You go to symmetry, go for options. Then go for quadrant symmetry. Okay, quadrant symmetry. And then plus and then tap the tick mark and not test. Now, in this case, you see if you're drawing it here, it's been replicated in the opposite side also. In a similar fashion, if you draw it on the top, it's replicated in the bottom half also. So you will get an exact seamless pattern, eventually, right? Perfect. So we'll start off with this. We'll go with black color itself because the color we will do it in the color section, kind of referencing the kind of color palette which you already create. Okay? So in this case, we'll start off Perfect. It's not exact circle. There's a slight imperfection to it. And even here, there's a slight imperfection, that's a good thing. Now we'll fill the entire kind of interiors by hand instead of dragging and dropping the color. There's a reason behind it because you'll see the brush stokes. Okay? That's one idea. So you'll be doing like this. Like, you can do this. In a similar fashion also, you can color it actually how a child colors his drawing his or her drawing book, right, in a similar fashion. So this is one pattern which we can create. But what if we change the brush and create a texture in it? That's what we are going to do right now. So we're going to hide or delete the layer in the first place, that particular kind of stint was to show how we can do it. And then on the new layer, or create a new layer and tap the layer and ensure the drawing assist is on. Then go to brushes, then choose the brush which of your liking. Okay? You can go for artistic brushes. And you can kind of, like, at test and see how it is. If you see this particular brush, it gives a pattern or texture to it. I is actually nice in a way, okay? So we'll try that. Right. Beautiful, right? Now, we will hide the template underneath just to test the pattern which we have created, duplicate it, serect both and reduce the size by half, ensure the snapping is on. Then select one layer and take it to the side. Combine both, duplicate it, and bring it to the bottom. I'm actually doing it in the fast way because I assume you already know this particular step, right? This is beautiful, right? Nice. So this is one kind of polka dot pattern. It's not exact circle, but it resembles a polka style with a slight texture to it. Okay? We'll actually create one more. We'll combine both these things. We can rename it as example one. And hide it on the template, create a new layer. Again, remember, select the layer and switch on the drawing assist, which is very, very important. So once you do this, we'll go with a different brush now. This looks better, Leatherwood, but I don't know how it'll be there. No, it's not good. Aurora. Again, as you see, we are kind of testing multiple brushes. So we'll go with this brush. You will see that it no way resembles a polka dot pattern. Okay? But this is what we're trying to do some variations of it. Wow. This looks very different. Okay? So when you see a pattern tile like this, it doesn't resemble it's a polka dot pattern. But again, duplicate it, select both, reduce the size by half, and show you hide the template layer, select one, move it to the side. Combine both, duplicate it, and take it to the bottom. See? So in the first picture, it doesn't resemble a pool cutout pattern, but here you are doing multiple variations of it just by using the different textures, right? That's one thing. Now, since now we'll rename it as example, Perfect. We'll hide that also. Now we'll create a basic pol cudd pattern. The one which you usually see. I've given you multiple types of doing it using textures and brushes. But in this case, to add on colors, we'll go with a typical exactly perfect circular pattern. Okay? So we'll switch on the template. We'll increase opacity, duplicate it, and remove actually hide the bottom template, rename the one with the design. So this is our final exact circle pattern, right? Now, we have to bring in the colors to see how the color functions. So there are two options. Have empty layer on the bottom so that we can have a background also for our pattern. Now, select the design. Now to bring in the reference, remember which we have created in the previous lesson, what you should do is select the actions or the gear icon, go to Canvas, and there's something called reference, right? Switch it on. Then you'll have an image like this. What you can do is you can go to image import image and go to the praise you have saved it. You have saved it in the gallery, so the gallery comes up. Now we have a vertical thing like this. So remember when I ask you to do a vertical canvas, why so? This is the reason, so that it's very, very cute and very much in the corner where we can easily drag and drop. That's overall idea. If we do it like horizontally or even square, it'll take up a lot of space in a canvas, which is very limited in the first place. So it'll be difficult to draw it. So that's the reason we have done the let's say kind of vertical aspect or kind of active vertical shape for kind of the whole color scheme or color palette, sheet. Now, we will go with a two color pattern or we'll go with three color pattern, and actually one of those colors will be a background. Okay? So just tap on the green, and we can take the green for the background. Perfect. Now, remember, the top color and the bottom color should be similar, right color and the left color should be similar. Okay, that I'm sure you are understood by now. Now tap the blue. Choose the color, go to the design, then drag and drop to the top and bottom. Now tap the reddish shade, dragon drop to the left and right. So this is one pattern tile completed with the colors. Now, combine both, rename it to design one. Now we'll test the seamless nature of it, duplicate it, and duplicate it once more so that the base layer is always set and select both the top layers, reduce the size by half, select one of them, move it to the right corner. Again, combine both, duplicate the same process of creating a seamless pattern which I've already seen. Perfect, right? And to remove the disturbances, you can switch off the drawing guide. Perfect. So we have one color palette already ready and one final pattern tile ready. So this is how you create a seamless polka art patterns with multiple color variations of your choice, right? So how do we export it finally, okay? We'll actually create one more design like this. This is the first pattern tile which we have, just this color. We'll do one more with a two color variation with the white background itself, okay? So hide this particular design, create a new layer, duplicate the template. And place it on top of the empty layer. Empty layer can be white, so we'll fill the layer with white. Always don't rely on the background layer of the canvas. That is not the best way, so always create a new layer and drag and drop white. So you will see the entire background layer has become white. Now, go to the template layer, switch it on. Now we'll take the last color palette. We'll choose purple, dragon drop on top and bottom, and we'll choose yellow, dragon drop on the sides. Perfect. Now we'll combine both these things, rename it to design Now, we'll test it. But as I mentioned, we always have the base copy, and we'll hide the base copy. And we'll actually duplicate the one more, select both, reduce the size by half, select one layer, move it to the right, and continue the same process to create a seamless pattern. Right? It looks good. It looks different with a white background and a similar color pattern and a contrasting color pattern, so there's one more option. So in the next lesson as a bonus, we'll do multiple variations also. But before that, how do we export our pattern? That is very, very important, right? So ensure all the other layers are switched off. Okay. All the other layers are switched off, and only the pattern tile is on. Okay. Once the pattern tile, you can actually remove the layer, the kind of whole reference color also. So how do you do this? The two options that you can go to this particular same menu and switch off the reference, or you can tap the reference. And there's actually a cross or closed button on the top right hand corner. You can press that. Perfect. So now you have the first pattern tile or the second design which we have. Now, actually once you have ensured that that particular layer is selected, go to Actions, Share and export it as you can export it as PDF for the best quality or even JPP is good enough. I'll export as JP then save image. Perfect. So we'll do the same for the other design also the first design, ensure that ensure ensure that particular layer is on, and uh, kind of all the other layers are switched off. Background even switching of the background layer is actually helpful, right? Once that particular layer is active, go to Actions menu, share, export it as JPEG and save image. And that's it. So if you go to your gallery, you'll be able to see your patterns. So this is your color palette which you have created. This is your first pattern tile, and this is your second pattern tile, right? So you have something which you can create in a seamless fashion and the style of pol carts, right? Perfect. So in the next lesson, since you already have exported your design and you know how to create a polar seamless pattern, the next lesson as a bonus, we'll create multiple variations of this using the concept which you have already learned using, let's say, size, color, position, brushes, which you already tried, but we'll dig deeper into it, and then multiple combinations also, right? So I'll meet you in the next lesson. 6. Bonus: Creating Pattern Variations: So welcome to this lesson. We'll be talking in terms of adding more variations to the design which you've already done. Okay. So as I mentioned, we'll start off with creating variations in terms of, sorry. In terms of size and then in terms of color. You would have already seen certain aspects of this in the previous lessons, but in this lesson, we'll go into deep onto how we can create multiple variations of seamless polcar patterns using these actually bonus lessons. Then position of the dots. Yes. So we have looked into, let's say, creating offset and classic, but there are other aspects also which we can bring in, right? And then brushes. We have tried with brushes, but this lesson we'll go into deep into how to create, let's say, multiple brushes if you want to create or how to use multiple brushes which are already existing in Procreate as default to use them in your kind of polcart patterns, right? And then combinations. This is something very important because in the combinations, you'll include let's say different colors, different sizes, different position, and create a new design out of it. So that's the oral idea, right? So we'll start off with this. Firstly, I would want you to go to the same template file which you're using, where you have both template one and template two and even the basic circle which we drew on the first, right? Now, first, we'll start with the size, okay? Duplicate the base original layer which you had, take it to the top and hide all the other layers which you have, right? Now unhide the base original layer. So in terms of size when we say, it's important that first itself, you set the different sizes you want. So in my case, I'll start with three different sizes in the same polka dot pattern tile. Okay? So we'll duplicate it three times. Now we have three different designs, right? First one will reduce the size. We'll make it exactly half actually second one, we'll duplicate the same one and reduce it by half again. So we have two different polkar dots, which is there's actually one size, another one is half of it, right? And so I'll keep it separately, so it's easy for you to see, right? And then we'll have something smaller than that. So we'll duplicate that also. Bring it to the bottom, yeah. So we have three different sizes right now, right? So how we will plan out, it's important that we plan the design before executing it straight away, right? So we'll switch off all the three layers. We'll take a new layer, and we'll brainstorm how our pattern needs to be there. Okay? So we can have one big circle in center, that we can do. We can have smaller circles, which is the next size of the bigger circle in all the four corners, and the smallest one will be here. Right. Again, this is just a brainstorm. We have to uh we have to actually bring those design into this particular framework and then see how the overall pattern is, right? Now, this is the overall idea for this particular pattern where we are bringing in multiple sizes, okay? So we'll take it to the base, reduce the opacity. It's just for idea, we anyways kind of actually delete it after some time. Now we'll start with the smallest circle, right? Duplicate it just in case if you want to and move it to the corner first. Ensure it's in the corner, not necessarily going out of the canvas. And then you move the edge. It looks very small in the overall pattern, but that's totally fine. That's overall the idea for us where we can create multiple sizes of polka dot patterns. Now, duplicate this semicircle in a way or sorry, quarter circle, move it all the way to the bottom and flip it vertical. Perfect. Now combine both these things, duplicate them, and move it towards your left. And then flip it horizontally. Now you have this small dot, um, kind of repeat itself across the corner. So we have done that part, so we can do this. Combine can merge both those layers, rename it as, um, small dot or dot three. Okay. Perfect. Now we'll go for the second smallest. This will be in the center, right, top, bottom, right, and left. So we'll do the same thing again. Ensure you have chosen the right layer. Always ensure the snapping is on, duplicate it. Move it to the left all the way to the left and then flip it horizontally. Then combine both these things, duplicate them, and you rotate them by 45 degree option. Do it twice, so it becomes 90 degree. Perfect. We got that also. Now combine both these things and rename the layer as dot two. Perfect. Now we'll go for the original main circle. First bring it to the center. Perfect. Right in the center. So this is our new polkar dot seamless pattern which we have created just by changing the size of the dot. Okay? Now, we'll try the seamless nature. We'll combine we'll rename it to dot one. Combine all the three things, remove the template which is underneath. Duplicate it. Always remember, work on the working layer and always duplicate the main pattern tile. Now for the top layer, duplicate it once again, select both, reduce the size by half, and then select the second layer, take it to the left, combine both, duplicate it, and move it to the bottom. Perfect. No, can you see a difference there? It's not the same size dot moving across in different patterns. It's different sizes, right? Again, we'll do it once again to see a bigger picture. Same pattern on how to create a seamless pattern. You continue it, take it to the right, combine the both, duplicate it once again, and move it to the bottom. Perfect. Is it good enough for you? Right. So this is the first variation which we have done based on the size of the dots which we have. Imagine you increase the number of dots. Okay. Let's say you create one more small circle here. Possible, right? So it'll become a very filled up pattern. You can do that. Or you can create might be like a mandala, actually, how do you do mandala like this multiple dots you can bring in. There are so many variations you can do just by altering the overall size of the kind of the dot. This is for the size. Now, since we have this option, we can delete it off and change the uh thing name to size Okay. The, we'll close it now. We start we'll open a new layer again. Now the second one which we talked about is color. Okay? One is multicolor. Okay? In multicolor, it can be plain multicolor, or it can be a gradient. That is also possible. We'll explore both and there's something called monocolor also where it's just black and white, or it's just like green and dark green and light green, something like that, monochromatic. So we'll try that also. In this lesson, we'll try all the three different color variations which we can do. Okay? First, we we'll special switch on the template, duplicate it, and take it to the top. So this is a template. What we will do is we first have multi colored thing, we'll change it to red, and then green. We'll have a darker shade of green. When you duplicate this, All right. So this is the multicolor polka dot pattern. Okay. Now we'll go for monochrome or mono coolor. You would have seen the black and white, which is already common. Um, so we'll go with a different color shade. Okay? So we'll select, let's say, we'll go with the lavender or purplish color. We'll actually create a new layer underneath and fill that layer with this color. We'll make it a more lighter shade. Then we'll select the design which we have. We'll go with the same shade but a darker color. Perfect. Then combine both duplicate it once again to create a seamless pattern. Again, this process of seamless pattern, I'm just kind of skimming through since you already know, but you can always continue it. Perfect. So this is actually a monochrome style where the colors are just a difference of shade or even you can try out with opacity, which is far more beautiful, right? So this is the oral pattern of it. You can create of same colors. You can create something of contrasting colors with a different background, or you can just leave it black and white also. Or even you can play with gray and white or gray and black. So you can even see the small change in terms of the opacity and even in terms of the color depth, right? So this is one more design, we'll combine it. The third one which we talked about was for the color for gradient. Remember? Yes. So what we will do is, we'll duplicate the main template, which we'll duplicate the main template, bring it up to the top. Perfect. We have this template. Now, for gradient, it is important that we follow the seamless nature of it. That is very, very important, right? So what you can do is you can work on two aspects of gradients, either in the background or for the actual design. So first, we'll work with the background, kind of gradient, and then the next design will come for the gradient of the actual pattern, right? Perfect. So, um, so first background, create a particular color which you want, increase the brush size. You can go with airbrush. Airbrushing. Soft brush is good enough. You can increase the size of it. You have this color then now reduce the color. You're bringing some mild light color into center, increase the size. You have to do it very gently only then you'll be able to see that at the whole subtle change. If you want, you can use the Smudge tool also so that it's very convenient for you. Now the gradient is fine. You can reduce the shade also in the center a bit. It's far more brighter in the center. Perfect. Always go with trial and error. Don't try to conclude immediately if it's good or bad. Now we'll go with the darker shade and to the corners. And while we're doing for the corners, ensure that the drawing assist is on. The reason so is because it should be seamless, right? That's the idea. Ensure that drawing assist is symmetry and quadrant. Or even you can go with radial also. So it's easy. You can do just one side and all the sides are already taken care of, right? For darker shade, be very much aware of it because it'll create entire effect for you. As you go indoors, you need to have a slide gradient. Perfect. Now, we can combine both these things and see, but I would recommend make a duplicate layer for the main template, have a lighter shade and try to fill it up, see if there is any change. No. You can just leave it black also that's totally fine. Duplicate it once again and combine it and actually test for seamlessness now. Always when you're testing the seamless pattern, try to switch off the drawing assist. Because what will happen is you won't be able to see the actual pattern because the lines will be disturbing. O now you see a beautiful pattern here, which actually has a depth to it because of the gradient which you have given on the background. In a way, it seems like a tile design. I do agree with that. But again, it's a combination of a tile design and the polka patterns. This is the pattern which we got. If you want to increase the depth of it more, you can even bring in the highlights for the polka dots. Okay? How to do this. I'll actually show it to you right now. I'll just show for one particular thing. You can take this color, switch on the airbrush, go for a new layer, and reduce the size of it and you can create a slide highlight on the side. Okay. So it'll look like a three D effect. You can do that for every single tile individually, or the best would be go and do it for the actual template which you had, the main template which you already created, D for that where you can create a slight highlight. Then it'll just be seamlessly continued in every single pattern, right? Perfect now. Now for the fourth and the final thing, we will look for the gradient for the polkar dots itself, right? Perfect. We'll hide this, um design now, duplicate the template, switch Perfect. Now for this particular thing, switch on the drawing assist. So let's say if you draw in one place, it's been o no, go to layer, switch on the drawing assist. Now if you draw here, it'll it'll be shown in all the four sides. If you do this, perfect. Yeah. So what you can do is switch on the Alpha lock, which is two fingers wipe from left to right on that particular layer. What is the difference I'll show you? If you draw like this here now, you will see it'll be drawn in all the four corners but only in the shape. In this case, I'll change the drawing assist to quadrant over radial, so it doesn't seem like a symmetrical thing where if you draw like this, it'll be only on one side. Or you can go for the drawing assist. Go for radial, that's fine, but switch on the rotational symmetry. So that it feels like it's been continuing across. Perfect. Now we'll increase the size for our airbrush and we'll do it from one side. Now, we'll go for a darker shade now. We'll fill up the other part. Now go to Smudge tool, have a nice slide smudge. Perfect. Now duplicate it, remove the alpha lock for both, select both and reduce the size, select one layer, take it to the left. Duplicate it once again, you can take it to the bottom. Yes, and switch off the drawing assist, right? So this is kind of like a gradient which you can try for different mandala, uh sorry, different kind of polka dot designs, right? Now, for the brushes, which we have already looked for brushes now, but again, we'll go into it. And we'll try one more design with the brushes. Now we have the template with kind of minimal opacities so that we can draw on top of it. You can choose different brushes they are. Okay? Let's say if you choose kind of old brush like this. Now, it will create some kind of actually it'll create kind of texture which seems far more interesting than just a round pattern. Okay? Round pattern are good for certain uh let's say products or anything like that. But if you create a texture, those textures or those kind of seamless repeating textures can be used in so many kind of use cases, right? So we'll explore the brushes now. Can try the dry brush. Artistic brushes, Leather we have dried already. This looks good. We can reduce the size. Perfect. This is good. We'll switch on the drawing assist. We'll ensure it is only the whole rotational symmetry is off and we'll test it once. Yeah, perfect. We'll have this So kind of one thing to remember with the texture brushes, always lift your pencil while drawing and again continue because I'll tell you something. If you do this continuously, you'll just see a border. That's it. Okay? But if you just do like this, again, you'll see multiple layers of the whole texture into that particular drawing. Okay, rather than doing justice. So always, especially when you're doing texture brushes which has patches or greens, always try to lift your pencil and again, try to do the whole pattern, right? So we'll start off with, creating that or implementing that in our dot design template. You can change the pressure also so that there's actually a bit of, visual interest in your dots. Perfect. It looks good. We'll hide the template which is behind the layer underneath. Now we will alpha lock it. Then we'll choose the airbrush. We'll create different colors into it. We'll do a slight Yeah. I'm trying to create an overlap circle. When we do make it a seamless pattern, it resembles a Catie. That's the overall idea. Now we need to have a background also. We'll create something as a complimentary color. This is too harsh. Mm it's all about trial and error where you had to find which color suits the overall picture. If you go for black, will it suit, all these things you have to look at. Actually, we can do something. We can change to this layer and we can go for the white alpha lock the layer, and then change this p to white. Perfect. Now, combine both this layer, duplicate it, try for the seamless nature, how it is. Or instead of merging the layers, the black and the one which was there, you can just keep it aside. Just duplicate the pattern which you had, duplicate it, reduce the size, and try for the seamless nature. Again, combine them both, duplicate it, bring it down. It looks quite good, okay? Uh, at one stage it is horizontal, other stages it is vertical, so it gives a sense of a bit more drama to it in a way, or more texture or more variety into it. Yes, perfect. If you want, you can reduce the opacity of the background if it's needed, or you can just keep it like that. Right? Um. All right, so this is your overall pattern with textures. So the idea was polka dots, right? But we have added a bit of texture to it and a bit of interior design to it. So now it has become almost like a different pattern, but the foundation is polkar dots. Yes, that's very important. You're not transitioning from the polka dots philosophies or rules, but you're just playing with the rules and altering a few aspects so that you can create multiple designs. For example, for the same design, right? If you choose this layer, okay, and go for the adjustments, Okay. And let's say you have, you go to, uh, let's say, hue saturation and brightness, you can actually change the hue. So within a moment, the entire different color pattern you can achieve. Okay, this is greenish color. Okay, this is a light blue color shade. Right? So you can achieve different color palettes like this. Let's say pink or light blue. You can change the saturation points or you can change the brightness of the overall pattern, right? So by this, by playing with a lot of different colors, you can achieve different patterns within a short span of time just because you've already had a strong said template which you have created and the system to create patterns, right? So this was for the brushes. Perfect. Now, we'll combine different aspects of what we have already learned and try to create one pattern tile. Okay? Let's say what we have learned now, size, color, position, okay? And then brushes, right? Based on these things and based on these things, we'll create one pattern tile combining all of these things or at least majority of the aspects which we have learned, right? Perfect. Now, hide this duplicate the template which we already have. Or you can create a new layer altogether on the top, and we'll start off fresh with the base, circle, right? Take it all the way to the top. Perfect. We'll start off with that. Now before that, we have to brainstorm, right? So we'll brainstorm first. Go to the monoline brush for easy brainstorming. Now, first, we have to set the sizes and the position, right? So in this case, we will go with, um, three sizes. Okay, The sizes. Um, we will have a medium sized circle here. We'll have a big circle here. Okay. And then, um, okay, or else we can have inter merging circles, right? Kind of whole. It's kind of layered thing, right? So what we can do is there'll be a medium sized circle here. So this is medium, this is large, and this will be small. So the one which is in the center, it'll be a smaller circle. Or we'll have four circles also. So medium, large, small, and this will be extra small. Right? And if needed, we can add on also like this. It's all about your creativity. Okay? There is nothing stopping you. You can always combine multiple aspects of the designs. So this is just by positioning and size we are playing this, right. But eventually, you can even after creating the brainstorm thing which we have done and kind of positioning all the dots in this particular order, then we will go into, let's say, uh, creating different colors or color patterns of that particular size and by using different brushes. First, we have to create the basic background template for that. That's what we'll be doing right now. So we'll reduce the brightness of it or opacity of it. Create a base original circle, duplicate or first, as we mentioned, first, the bigger circle will be in all four corners, right? So we'll reduce the size by half and move it to the corner. Duplicate it, move it to the other corner and flip it horizontally. Combine both, duplicate it once again and actually rotate it by 90 degrees. We have the oral outer picture. Now what we will do is we will change the color of this to gray so that it's easy to identify. Sorry. Perfect. Now we'll be doing the medium size circle inside the large circle. That's overall idea for us now. Take it to the top, reduce the size by half. Reduce the size a bit more. This thing can be based on your choice. This size is good enough. Once you finalize the size, duplicate it once again, move it to the other corner, and flip it horizontally, combine the both, duplicate it once again, create a seamless nature out of it. That's the overall idea. Now, even the second layer is done, we'll go with the center small size circle. If this is the size, then it'll be good enough. Perfect, right? Now, we'll add a few more circles like that for the outdoors as we have seen, right? Okay. So how to get the same circle on the other spots also so that distance is very equal. How do you do that? First complete one single layer. First complete the main circle which we already done, which is a kind of small size, and then ces then kind of like a double X and kind the triplex, smaller size, the smallest size circle. First, you complete one line and then we'll copy and rotate it together, right? We'll do this. Duplicate the smallest circle as of now and then move it in this particular order, then reduce the size once again. You can always rearrange it based on your ner vision. Right? Perfect. So we'll remove the base template now. Since it's confusing and we're not able to see the actual pattern now. The distance between the middle and this circle is good, the second circle. Kind of second and third, kind of the whole distance is a bit more, so we can reduce that. Yeah, so we'll move this a bit closer to the closest piece. Perfect. This looks good. Now we'll go for the last layer, we'll bring that also a bit closer. And we can add one more smaller dot with an extremely small size. Perfect. Now what you do is, you create small dots on the four corners of this layer. Combine all these layers. Talking about the interior central part. Combine all these layers. For this layer, create a small dot on all the four corners. We're seeing that I'm drawing here, all the four corners, you'll be able to see this in gray color. I'm doing it in the same layer. Now duplicate this layer. Now flip it horizontally. You get it, it'll come in the same position. Now combine both these things, duplicate it once again and flip it vertically. Perfect. Now combine both these layers and choose the eraser tool and go and arrays the corner pieces which you have created for reference. It's easy way rather than just using the symmetry tool. There's actually a quicker way to do that. Okay? So in this regard, we have used different sizes. We have used different positioning, and we are about to use different brushes. Okay. Perfect. So now we have now we have three different layers. One is a central part, which is like this in X shape, and the other one is a gray zone, which is the bigger circle, and the other one is a smaller circle in between that. Okay. Perfect. Now, how do we color them? It's best not to combine all these things right away. Okay? You combine them only after creating your color patterns, okay? And then you bringing in your kind of actually the brush strokes. At last, you combine all the layers into one single layer and then try to create a seamless nature. Okay? Because it'll kind of reduce the confusion. But if you think that you want flexibility to change it, then you can group all those things and then try seamless nature with the group aspect. Okay? Perfect. So now we will do the group aspect which I was talking about. Select all the three layers, group them. And we'll work inside the group. Or we can duplicate it and work on the working group. So we can rename it as working group. Perfect. Open that group now, go to the base layer, um, and we'll choose be we'll choose this color. And in terms of brushes, we'll explore different brushes now. It's a very small brush with very less texture. So it won't be visible much, so we'll go with a different brush. As I mentioned, we'll go with oil paint can try that. This is good. So we'll choose a layer on top of it. Okay? And then ensure the drawing guide is on. And you see which one you're opting for. You can go for radial, that's totally fine. Go for the layer and ensure the drawing layer is switched on and then start drawing this. But This looks good. Actually, this looks a bit raw in nature, which I want to have in this design. Then we'll go the base layer again, the small circle. We'll go with a darker shade of the same color. Perfect. Now we will have layer with drawing assist on. Reduce the brush size. Again, guys, it's actually trial and error. You can't come up with something out of nowhere. You have to try out and see how things are. Again, as you see, these circles are not perfect and these are done consciously. It's not exactly how we are following the template. You have to have that small creative liberty which you have to have. Now in the center circle will increase the brush size. We'll have one more layer a lighter shade in center and then one more layer of a lighter shade in the central most core. Perfect. Now we will hide the base black and gray layers and even switch off the drawing guide, right? So this is a dot dot pattern. It doesn't seem so right. We'll add it will actually add a background also. It's a completely lighter shade of this, or we can add something like an yellowish tint also. Yeah, perfect. So this is our pattern right now. What we can do is we can duplicate it. It's important always duplicate it so that you can work on something which you have, let's say options for. Now, you delete all the black or the base layers which you had, and then combine all the top pattern elements and take it outside of the group. Now we'll test the seamlessness of this particular pattern. So duplicate it, select both, reduce the size by half. Now move it to the side. Duplicate it once again. Merge it and duplicate once again, take it to the bottom. You see, this is the pattern which you have created. I think we can do it once again to see a bigger picture of how the entire pattern is. Srect one layer, then move it to the side. Merge both, duplicate it once again, and move it to the bottom. Perfect. So this is a final pattern with incorporating all the bonus elements which we have learned. Let's say, size, color, position, and brushes, right? So it looks very raw in a way, and it's good. It won't feel like you had a base of polka dots. But again, you're taking the foundations of polka dot design and then implementing on top of it. Right? So that's the overall idea. In the next lesson, we will talk about how to create a seamless pattern brush and Procreate using the template which you have created in the first and second lessons with the offset patterns at the same time with the classic patterns. I'll meet you in the next lesson. 7. Bonus: Turning Your Design into a Seamless Brush: So welcome to this lesson on how to create a seamless pattern brush in Procreate. So as of now, you have learned quite a few things like how to create multiple variations of seamless's a polka dot patterns, right? Now, how to create a seamless brush so that you don't have to create the design or every time you don't have to copy and paste the pattern tile, okay? Now, how do we do it? You open the template which you've already done, which is the pattern tile template. Okay. And then using the three fingers, swipe down. Ensure all the other layers are switched off. Even if it's empty, ensure it's switched off. You can leave the background layer on. That's fine. Using the three fingers, swipe down. And then choose copy all. Once you have done this, go for the brush. You can choose any brush, actually, but I prefer going for the cigraphy monoline brush, duplicated. So you will get something called monoline two, right? Select that brush. If you double tap, you'll go to the property section. So in the property section, you will see multiple things like stroke path stabilization. As of now, you don't have to confuse with all of those things. We'll straightly go for the green. And for green source, tap the corner white color icon here and then tap import, and then paste. That's it. Okay? Now, in this case, using the two fingers, if you tap, it'll invert, right? Two fingers, if you tap, it'll invert the color. We'll create two brushes in this class by using one port inverted image, the other one with a classic normal image. So in this case, we are not kind of inverting the overall text or overall pattern green. So once you're done, tap check mark. And then ensure you switch on there, you opt for the texturized pattern, not the moving pattern. Then you can check the properties and you can check the materials and so on and so forth. You can test it. You can test it here in terms of what you're getting. Fine. You can increase the size also if it's necessary. Go to green and you can increase the scale of it. It's also possible in the pencil, you can see multiple options in terms of size can increase the size. There are so many options like this which you can browse through. Now, once you check mark, go for the black, choose the monoline brush which you have already selected, go for the new layer and try it out. So can you see this? The seamless pattern which you have created or pattern tile which you have created has become a brush for you. Okay. So for actually this particular brush, what are the advantages? It is actually a negative brush. So it'll only color the ones which are an opposite color. So let's say if you choose red color, okay? So it'll painted red. I'll paint the negative aspects. One advantage of this brush is you can change the background. So if you choose, let's say, yellow color in the background, do you see this? It'll feel like the dots are yellow, but actually the background is yellow and the negative part is red or green or whichever you want to choose. Let's say we choose green colour and draw these things. A darker shade also, right? We can choose multiple colors. I'm just kind of doing this to give you multiple options or to show you multiple options, right? So the dots are yellow in all the patterns. It's just that we are actually changing the color of the negative which we have, right? So this is one particular brush style. Right? We can combine these things, and choose a new layer. Now, in a similar fashion, we'll do the same thing, go to the brushes, duplicate the monoline brush. You can rename this brush also if it's required, or we'll just go ahead straightaway. Choose the monoline brush, go to the green. Import, paste. Now we have this. Now we will invert it now by using two fingers, tap invert. Perfect, and everything is same. You don't have to change anything. Now, press the tick mark of a black, increase the size for our visibility. Now if you draw, sorry, 1 second. Okay, so we will duplicate the original monoline layer. Only then we won't have any confusion, go to properties. Again, I would want to go to the template, the main template and copy and paste it. Using the three fingers wipe. Three fingers wipe from the bottom, from the top, copy all, then go to the brush again. Monoline three, which you have duplicated now and import the file. Check Mark and test it straightaway here. Oh, I'm sorry, you're changing it in the shape, right? That's a difference, right? You don't change it in the shape. You change it in the green. So duplicate once again, select it, go to green, and then change it in the green. That's important. All right. So if you test it here right now, So this is a negative brush, invert it now, increase the scale. Perfect. Now, create a new layer, go to a new layer. Now if you draw, you will see the positive aspects. The positive dots or positive sketch is your brush. Instead of the negative aspect which you have seen in the previous brush, right? So if you change the background layer right now, let's say you create a lavender color or a lighter shade of lavender. All right. So this is the second brush. We have two brushes right now. I'll demonstrate both the brushes for you in a new thing. So Monoline three brush is it will create the dots, right? And Monoline two brush is it'll create the negative space around the dots. Always, you can increase the size or scale of it so it can draw quickly. So do you see a difference now? So one brush draws the negative aspect, which is the spaces between the dots and the other brush draws the dots itself. Okay? So basically in this class, so basically in this lesson, you have created both these brushes. What you could do is you can even share the brushes. Okay? You can save it to files or you can even share it to other people also. Or you can copy and paste it and create a brush set together, which involves all the polka dot styles. Okay? So we have done this for one particular template, right, which is the off pattern. What if you do the same for the classic pattern? Okay, like typical top down. And moreover, you can do it for multiple patterns. You can do even for this pattern where there are three different sizes or the recent one which we have explored, right? The recent one which we have explored, um, which is this. Even for this, you can do a pattern, right? Or we can do a pattern brush. So you have any number of brushes to do and create it as a set so that you can continue, your creative endeavor and reduce the time spent in the future. 8. Class Project + Final Thoughts: Now, finally, I'm so excited. You have come to the last lesson, where you have learned every single aspect. So to have a small recap of everything we have learned, first, we have learned what a polka dot pattern is and how to create a seamless nature out of it and how the seamless pattern works. And we have created two templates. If you remember, it is one is let's say offset template, and the other one is a classic pattern template. And then we worked on the color scheme or we created a color scheme sheet. Yes. And then we brainstorm the idea for our polka dot pattern, and then we implemented it by creating or placing all the dots in a particular order. Then we have implemented the colors which we used in the color schema also. And then the next lesson, we went to variations where we looked at size, position, brush, colors, and even the combination of all these things to create multiple kind of pattern tiles of different variations. And then finally, we have created a seamless pattern brush, two brushes. One is a positive brush, second one is a negative brush of the seamless polcad dot patterns, right? I hope you enjoyed the class lessons and learned a thing or so. So as part of class project, what I would want you to do is at least you create two different pattern tile as you have seen here on the sheet on the screen, uh, I have shown four, right? In a similar fashion, you can do any two, let's say seamless pattern tile for polka dot designs. And then two variations you can implement. Okay? So you can implement size or different sizes or different colors or different positions or combination of all these things, right? Any two, and I would want you to upload in the project section, I'll be so excited to share to see your sharings and even all the other classmates will be excited to see how your creative aspects have been showcased in this creating the seamless polka art patterns, right? Thank you so much for taking this class and uh ensure that you post your amazing and beautiful designs in the project section. Thank you so much.
