Learn to create super versatile Scallop Patterns on the iPad with the app Procreate.

Surface Pattern Design is just so much fun!

There's something truly magical about seeing your design come to life as a repeating pattern.

In this class, I’m going to walk you through my entire process for creating one of my absolute favourite types of pattern to create on the iPad - scallop patterns. Also known as fish scales, scallops are a super versatile type of pattern that look great on so many different products. Plus, they are seriously addictive to make!

Would you love to create gorgeous patterns from the cosy comfort of your couch? How about while hanging in the park or chilling by the pool?

I'm here to teach you how.

Hi, my name's Chelsea. I am a Surface Pattern Designer and Illustrator based in Brisbane, Australia.

I spend my days creating artwork and patterns which are then printed on a whole range of products including fabric, stationery, phone cases, and home décor.

Scallop patterns can seem a little intimidating at first, but I have been honing my own method for a few years now and I would love to share it with you.

In this class, I'll be teaching you my entire process which includes:

Making a custom actions template and scallop guide that you will be able to use any time you want to make a scallop pattern
Sketching your initial design using my favourite tool in Procreate - the symmetry tool
We will test, review and refine your design before moving forward with colouring
I will show you how to turn the full coloured design into a repeat pattern tile
And then you'll get to experience the magic of seeing your design turned into a repeating pattern!
Finally, we will use a super quick and easy process to recolour your pattern tile into a second colour way
Plus all along the way I'll be sharing a bunch of my favourite Procreate tips and tricks to help you get the most out of the program

This class is aimed at both beginners with very little Procreate experience and also intermediate students who might want expand their skillset.

Regardless of your experience level, I think you're going to find creating scallop patterns just as fun and addictive as I do.

So when you're ready, grab your iPad with the Procreate app and your Apple pencil...

And lets get started!
