Have you had a chance to take my other Procreate classes, including Watercolour Floral Abstracts with Procreate and Simple Brushes in Procreate for Quick Compositions? If you have, you’ve learned plenty about custom Procreate brushes, but I still have more info for you! I have a series of pattern design classes too. This is the first one in the series!

This new class, Easy Patterns in Procreate using Brushes, will show you some of my illustration and pattern design methodology, and ways to use brushes to create a pattern. In the class, I take you from start to finish in creating a full seamless repeat pattern, notably with a seamless realistic watercolour background. And, I have techniques to save the pattern in many iterations. I use this method to be sure the pattern swatch that we’ll be creating is completely editable. One of my goals is to show you how we’ll be able to recolor it once the pattern is complete. But the star of the show is definitely creating and using brushes to create these patterns.

In this class I’ll walk you through:

• my step-by-step methodical method for making seamless patterns in Procreate


• tips for creating compositions for a really varied and appealing pattern repeat using brushes


• my workflow for use of layers and other great features like snapping


• adjusting patterns to perfect the flow and adding elements in the second iteration of the design


• fully seamless watercolour background creation


• methods for keeping the swatch fully editable for later adjustments and recoloring 

If you’re an aspiring pattern designer with a good basic knowledge of Procreate, you’ll be able to go through all the steps. This class will benefit anyone who wishes to simplify creation of seamless patterns and methods to improve efficiency.
