Ditsy patterns incorporate very closely arranged elements where the pattern repeat is very difficult to see. In this class you'll learn techniques for creating your own ditsy patterns including how to design in grayscale to make recoloring a pattern easy to do.

You will learn to make two ditsy patterns. The first uses just one element - a flower - for the design. It will be designed to be easy to recolor so you can make one pattern and then recolor it as many times as you like.

The second ditsy pattern uses elements downloaded from Vecteezy so you won't waste time making the design elements and so you can spend the time making the actual pattern.

Both designs use the Pattern Make tool in Illustrator CC and CS6 - this means the class is, unfortunately, unsuitable for users of other earlier versions of Illustrator. I am using Illustrator CC 2019 for this class.
