For this class project, you’ll create a symmetric diamond pattern in Procreate.

I prepared a few templates that you can use as a starting point. You can find them and download them here in the class resources section. Of course, you can also make your own templates or change mine to fit with your project.

When it comes to the subject you’ll be illustrating for this pattern, that’s totally up to you. I personally like using botanical elements to make a lush and versatile pattern. But you can go totally geometric, abstract, or come up with something completely new and in your style. I also made a Pinterest board with some examples to spark your imagination, and you’ll find a link to that also here in the class resources section (just scroll down).

Not to forget, another thing I’m leaving for you in the resources is a downloadable Procreate file with prepared templates for the full drop custom actions which is something I’ll show you how to use throughout the class.

All in all, the best way to put your new skills to the test is to make something. So once you finish, click on the Create Project button and share your pattern design.

I can’t wait to see what you’ll make.
