For your class project, all I’d like for you to do is…

Share a screenshot of your current body of work or a link to your website portfolio, Instagram, or Pinterest.
Share your next step(s)!

If you don’t have any work that you’d like to share yet, that’s okay. Feel free to simply pop in a sentence or two about your next steps. And remember, these steps can be as simple as sending an email, researching one company, or sketching for five minutes. Focus on the smaller, easier tasks that will eventually lead to your larger goals. :)

Don't forget to download the course PDFs on the right-hand side of this page under "Resources." <3

MY SKILLSHARE COURSES ON PATTERN DESIGN

>>>Pattern Collections and Portfolios: Dos, Don'ts, and Myths | Part 1<<<
Surface Design In Adobe Illustrator: A Beginner's Guide to Pattern Building - A comprehensive introduction to surface design in Adobe Illustrator.
Character Design Crash Course: Characters for Surface Pattern Design - I cover things to consider when designing characters specifically for patterns, regardless of which digital art program(s) you use. I also demonstrate my personal process for creating a repeat pattern tile in Adobe Photoshop, but that lesson is somewhat outdated unless you use an older version of Photoshop than CC, as it is updated and improved yearly.
