In this class, we’ll bring your artwork to life by adding depth, texture, and character using a fun hybrid workflow in Affinity Designer and Adobe Fresco (optional). No subscriptions required, just the tools you already have.

We’ll create a seamless repeat pattern from start to finish, exploring how to combine vector brushes, pixel persona textures, and custom assets to build layered, expressive designs that feel rich.

This class also comes with unique free resources:

• special texture assets
• curated color palettes
• a diamond repeat automated template

This is what you'll be learning in the class:

How to sketch, build, and arrange your pattern elements
How to harness Adobe Fresco and its vector jittery brushes for more interest in your patterns
How to use Affinity’s Pixel Persona to add natural depth and shading
How to enhance your pattern designs with vector brushes in Affinity Designer
How to efficiently create multiple pattern variations with both vector and pixel elements

WHO IS THIS CLASS FOR
