1. Introduction: Looking at all these
beautiful patterns, unique, chaotic, see
interesting patterns, transformations from art. Experimentation is
the cornerstone of most beautiful in nature. We are all born with curiosity
and a way to explain it. But what stops us failure? It stops us from trying and creating things in
the first place. Let's be fearless
imply something that's unknown and
yet to be created. Hi, My name is Bruno. I'm an artist, designer and
an illustrator from India. I put up my imperfections
in the form of shapes, colors, and patterns. I've created art books that have been exhibited around the world. And my last Skillshare
class was about transforming everyday
objects into art pieces. What do your own uniqueness and point of view in your work is the most important thing
that you can do to stand out. And that can happen when
you're comfortable in your own unique visual language. So in this course, through step-by-step
process, we go further to experiment with art. Right? From getting the inspiration
to executing it, documenting it,
and presenting and finally to the audience. I will share my process
with you to find the right kind of
inspiration and tools that are required to transform into unique and
wonderful patterns. We will go through
the entire process from the stretch
to the execution in a step-by-step manner in
creating patterns from RD. Not only that, you will also
learn how to document and executed to present it to your audience as
a final product. So this course might be for anyone who has got
the basic tools, basic ideas, and it's trying
to express through art. You need not be an artist or a designer to
take this course. Or you can meet
anywhere and even date anyone else's
art to begin with and get into the process
of experimentation and later develop your own style
and experiment with it. Include wonderful patterns. Let's Be fearless
and try to create something that is
yet to be created.
2. Class Overview: So today we are going to learn how to create patterns
from your art. In the end, you will be able to learn how to find inspiration, what kind of tools to use, what kind of art you have to choose to make patterns from. And a step-by-step process in bite-sized classes
from start to finish, where we learn how to create patterns from the scratch
from an art piece. You will realize that all the
tools you need to create, the art patterns are all around you and you don't
need to go anywhere. You can create your
own patterns from wherever you are after
doing this course. So I hope to inspire
you to create Benton's by covering
all these topics. How to make patterns
for your art. On choosing the right kind
of part for making patterns. What tools to use
for creating art? What other things you can await, and how can you go into
an experimentation mode? Work in progress scenes of
my previous transformations. Documenting art with
your existing form in depths to package
the art Iranians. I'm going to show you a seamless transformation of art into an odd
pattern. In this class. I'll take you through
the fun process from the scratch to the
finish to transform the art around you on your own art into
beautiful patterns. So let's get the creative juices flowing and jump
right into the class.
3. Tools You Need: So I use very basic tools to
make my art wherever I go. Because I like to
keep it very simple, uncluttered, straight
forward, and I like to keep my
tools very handy. One arm distance so that
whenever the patient strikes, I should be able to create
something very quickly. It really gives me
the comfort and the MySpace to create
anywhere in any time. So here are some of the tools
that I use to make my art. A phone or an iPad with
Adobe Capture app installed, a working camera device. You're choosing
iPhone or an iPad to document and package your
creation for an audience. Tripod or a stand to document. These are some of the basic, basic tools that I use to
create art and document heart. And like I said, I tried to
keep them very nearby and if one understands so that whenever I want
to clear something, I should be able to do it quickly and move on
to the next project. But you can totally use your tools as per
your art practice, but do make sure that
they don't become a hindrance in the
process of creation.
4. Finding The Right Art: So in this class we will learn
how to find the right kind of art to transform
it into a pattern. And you do not have to worry. If you're not an
artist or a designer, you can just choose
whatever is around you or any other artists work
to create patterns. The idea is to go full, experiment, more, goes zigzag, explore, and see
what can be created, what has not been created yet. So number one is line drawings. Line drawings make for a great order to make
patterns because they ask for a
symmetrical treatment to begin with symmetry. And you can go from abstract to minimal or something that is just created
with few strokes. Every dime. It'll give you a unique
and have different result. And it's so much fun to
work with line drawings. They can be made from benzyl, from Ben, from sketch
pens, from anything. But every day, like I said, it will give you an
interesting desert. So do try out if you're not an artist or
designer to pick up something that is made with just lines and see what
pattern you can create. The next is watercolor. Different kinds of
textures give you a different kind of
texture, patterns. And watercolor is one of my favorite things to
use for patterns because it gives you that extra human does you can see
the water extra, and then the resulting pattern, you see it has that texture. Then it is very
delightful to see. The watercolor paintings are one of the most interesting
ways you can create buttons because it was created on a textured paper
to begin with, or on some kind of a
special art paper. Extra gets transformed into
your final pattern and it's a very magical way to
see your final results. So do try out something that is made from watercolors
to make patterns. Because things like
the density or pink, the kind of paper texture, the kind of colors use, the density of columns, the intensity of colors will give all different
kinds of prisms. And the next is my favorite, which is digital drawing. I do a lot of digital drawings
and also analog drawings, which could be the line
drawings or the watercolors. That's why I've picked these
three broad categories. Of course, if you have
your own art style, you can pick and choose from your own
existing are standing. There could be anything, but these are just
the broad directions. If you don't have
anything to start with, you can pick any of
those three categories. So coming back to the
digital drawings, they're the most
interesting ways to create patterns because one, you can have the
ability to take them everywhere and anywhere you want because of
their portability, you can just scan
them into your iPad, open the app and create
something and have fun with it. And also, they give you the flexibility to create
patterns that are scalable. Because if you have
something that is created as a vector
or to begin with, if you transform
them into patterns, it will give you that
option of scalability. And later if you want to have a merchandise collection
or paper route, or some kind of a physical
manifestation of your design. The digital drawing gives you the maximum flexibility
in terms of the quality of the final outcome that is printable as well. Again, as I said, nor an
artist or a designer, just don't worry, big
anything that is around you. It could be also be local or it could be just anything
in Pig, anything. It could be a beach from
your favorite book and that also gets them
into the battery. The idea to begin with
insulin, have fun, experiment, and then need to create
your own style into your practice to
have consistency in. So don't worry about yellow. If you're not an artist. Where to find art form, you can just pick anything
and create fantastic results.
5. The Process: So welcome to the
part of the class where we will
discuss the process. The process is everything. And it can be different
for every individual. For some, it starts
with a visual. For others, it can
start with the words. There are unlimited ways
of doing the same thing. So I will share some tips with you that will make
your process smooth. Number one, we all know that all creative
individuals suffer from procrastination in
one way or the other. But the bad news is, procrastination doesn't
get any work done. You can just drill into
the thought of doing that small project or
the big project on that installation idea
or some other thing. But it will always
remain in your head. Then you procrastinated
and just take them up. So don't pink and just begin. Discipline always works. In a fast-paced
environment where we are constantly distracted with
notifications on the corners, messages, social media,
and everything else. It becomes all the
more important to put your work discipline so that
your art does not suffer. Because without discipline,
forget finishing the project. Might not be able
to even started. Forget perfection. The number one way of delaying your work and
the number one way of North study is by thinking that your
work will be perfect. Many people remain
uninitiated because it takes their work should be ten
out of ten to start with. Or even worse, they start
comparing their work with their favorite designer or an artist even before
this time themselves. So when we start, perfection should be the last
thing we should be thinking of because it will hinder your process
at every stage. So the idea is to phase out
perfection slowly so that you are just in the state of creating without
over analyzing it. Building the right kind
of audience takes time. You can think that you
will share your work and thousands of people will start liking it and sharing it. It will be the fastest recipe
to disappoint yourself. The audience that
is required for your buck is the right kind
of audience for your work will take time and it needs patients to build that
kind of audience. So when you're creating, don't think about
bending your audience. That should be the byproduct
of your consistent work. Which brings me
to my next point, which is consistency,
prints rewards. Doing it once in a
while and expecting great prisms is again a recipe
to disappoint yourself. You have to show up
and putting the work every single day so that
over a period of time, it builds up and it will
reap you long-term benefits. And last but not the
least, have fun. If you're not having
fun, become a task. Then it becomes a task. Will take before doing it and render your
thing before doing it. You might not be in a
constant state of flow, constant state of creating
in cost of state of fun. So it's a very, very
important that you do your practice with
a lot of fun quotient. So now that we know the ingredients to make
your process smoother, I will show you how I go
about my own process. Begins with an eyepiece. Just pick up any of your RBCs. Or if you're an
artist or a painter, pick up any art and
start making things. Sometimes just doing
this will give you enough ideas to make
something unique. Three omega, let lose your mind so that there
are no boundaries, no endpoints and objectives. Try to tap the subconscious mind and let the magic happen. Let your mind wander. Use all the options. Then making anything digital, it's important to use all options available
to you in a software. Oftentimes, there are features, options that he does
to grade things. Why I said anybody
embrace experimentation? Experimentation
is the holy grail of producing something
that's never been. So don't be afraid of it and see experimentation at every step. There should be no end to it. Know when to stop. Last but not least, no way to stop the process
and make your credential. So that was an in-depth
peek into my process. I hope it has
helped you and help your process in terms
of providing value so that you can gain all
the things that apply to make your process has been much more richer and smaller.
6. Documenting 1: Why making art has its own fun question
presented to the viewer, is the final destination and no part is complete
without the viewer. Hence, presenting it to the audience must
be a very good job. And that begins
with documentation. I generally document
my art with very, very basic equipments that are going to be
generally use default. You don't have to acquire or buy new stuff just to
document your app, you can actually do it. But the basic form that
is available to you, the idea is not a documented in a
perfectly studio finish, but the idea is to show the
process to your audience.
7. Documenting 2: You can have any form with
a decent working camera and enough memory space to
record a high-quality video. You can document the
process in different ways and you can mix and match
for different platforms. Let's talk about each of
the techniques in detail. Time-lapse is a
very effective way to document a piece of work that needs to represent a long process capsule in
a short amount of time. This technique you
can use rocky mantle, entire process from
start to finish. Slow motion should be
definitely used often as it captures the finer
nuances of pure art, like strokes, textures,
colors, light, etc. A macro view arthropod process in an interesting execution. It keep the audience engaged. As oftentimes, it's
intriguing to watch a French. Here's a tip you can use while you're making
your slow motion, slow motion capture to
happen effectively, you need to be in a
decent natural light. Otherwise the flickers and
you won't get the right. Video. Number three is that a static frames are generally an old-school
capture technique. It does not apply to any
special stage of the process, but you can capture that point
in time of your database. Again, you can take
hyper close-ups, right angles to show
you a workspace. Perspectives, blurred shorts,
and so on and so forth. Static shots are the most
effective way to document, without a doubt, the last
finished shot as well. So these are some of the
basic techniques that you can use to document your process
and document your art. I generally try to keep
it very straightforward, need an uncluttered as I use my tools wherever I need
and I keep them handy. Now we have learned
a great deal of documentation and document
in your artworks. Perfection is equally important
unnecessarily to edit the parts that are not
required or there are unnecessary to present it
to your final audience. And that's exactly what we're going to learn
in our next class, which is about editing
your work so that you can get that perfect shot that can be shared
with your audience. So let's move to the next
class and learn how to make your videos and photos that you've documented for your art. Make hundred percent finished.
8. Editing Your Work: So as we discussed
in the last chapter, just documenting your
art is not enough. Presenting it to the
right audience requires a finite amount of editing. Whether it's linked,
cropping the frame to the just very short, or adjusting the contrast or
saturation or brightness. It will just make
your artwork much more presentable to
your final audience. So when it comes to video, I did the video in
my phone itself, in the basic default editor. That makes it quick and
instant as per my requirement. The orphan record the parts in the building at the
end of the video when we are documenting that
are extra and not require. So it's good to cut them
off for the final audience. Comes to static shots, we must adjust the sharpening, the correct framing as per
the composition of the shock. Specifically in the
case of patterns, we want to make sure
that what part of the pattern we want to
show you to the audience. Sometimes we want to
show that these are, in which case that would
be a much more macro, one part of the
pattern kind of short. And sometimes we want to
show the full battery, which will be the full
shortly before loading. It all depends on the kind of crop that you want
to give and how you want to present it to
the final audience depending on what kind
of stage your arc. The art pattern isn't. So after you're done with the basic editing and
adjusting the contrast or the saturation or the
cropping off your bed and you're finally ready to
showcase to your audience. In my case, it is
generally on Instagram.
9. Final Thoughts : So that was amazing. We learn everything, right
from finding the inspiration, right kind of tools, right kind of art for
your patterns and creating patterns in a
step-by-step bite-sized classes. Now you have all the
ingredients to be comfortable in your own style
and experiment with it. I really hope this
class leaves you with the confidence to be
comfortable your own art, style and experiment, but more
importantly, grow with it. I want to see what you
come up during the course. So please do share it in
the form of the project. I'm here to see those
wonderful creations and patterns from your art. I wish you all the best for the future and I'll see
you around in your work. Thank you so much.
