In this class, we’re going to engage both our artistic and analytical skills to create a complex half-drop pattern design using only Procreate. Instead of preparing our illustration elements and tossing them around, we’re going to plan out the whole pattern by sketching different parts depending on their importance when it comes to an overall pattern composition. Our goal will be to plan ahead, incorporate and connect pattern elements to make a visual flow in our final repeat. Also, I’ll show you an amazing trick for creating custom pattern actions that will give you the liberty to use Procreate as your favorite pattern-making machine without having trouble with hitting a layer limit.

This class is for intermediate and advanced levels, so before taking it you should already be familiar with pattern making whether you did in Procreate or some other program like Photoshop or Illustrator, and you should have a basic knowledge of Procreate.

By the end of this class, you’ll have a finished half-drop pattern that is not only a stunning piece of art but also a professional file that is layered and editable in case you need to make some future changes.

Main Takeaway Skills:

- How to create a balanced pattern composition and make an overall visual flow for your pattern repeat
- How to sketch and perfectly plan out a complex half-drop pattern in Procreate
- How to create and use custom pattern actions to have a faster and more reliable workflow while also solving a main Procreate pain point - layer limit
