In this class, I’m going to show how I use Procreate to create surface pattern designs for licensing. You’ll see my whole process from finding inspiration, creating motifs and finally designing a pattern. Along the way, you’ll learn bonus tips and tricks that will help you create stunning designs.

This class is mostly taught in Procreate, but the techniques can be used in Photoshop as well. I include a bonus video of how to create a simple pattern in Photoshop.
