In this intermediate course on pattern making, students will learn how to use Adobe Photoshop to create three surface pattern designs of varying difficulty. 
Hey! I'm Dylan Mierzwinski, an illustrator who's had the great joy of working with brands like Martha Stewart, Anthropologie, Magnolia, and more! High-quality surface pattern designs are in-demand in lots of industries, and this Skillshare class breaks down my approach to creating accurate and awesome pattern designs in Adobe Photoshop.
