Learn how to create beautiful surface pattern designs by combining your Procreate art into Adobe Illustrator repeating patterns, and still retain the wonderful texture from your original art.

Procreate has become one of the most popular apps for creating art. And for good reason! With the vast array of brushes available and the mobile nature of the medium, it the perfect tool for surface pattern designers.

On the other hand there’s no denying that Adobe Illustrator’s Pattern Tool and Image Trace function still remains an effective tool when creating repeating patterns.

In this class you'll learn how to combine these two powerful apps and harness their strengths to build gorgeous designs ready to sell!

I walk you through workflows that combine the best of both worlds. You’ll learn how to incorporate your much loved, texture-rich, Procreate illustration into your patterns designs directly in Adobe Illustrator.

This comprehensive class includes three projects, each presenting different approaches, giving you various workflows you can incorporate into your own process.

YOU'LL LEARN HOW TO:

Prepare raster artwork for best results
Embed and recolour your raster illustrations directly in Adobe Illustrator
Combine vector and raster motifs to produce unique results
Build and test your patterns, using both traditional methods and the Pattern Tool
Export your artwork ready for licensing (including the technical stuff like resolution and size)

Plus I’ll be sharing many tips along the way to help speed up your art making process.

iPad with Procreate installed
Desktop version of Adobe Illustrator
