As a self taught surface pattern designer I tend to expent a lot with my technical skills to get the best results in the smartest way possible. In this class I am going to share all the knowledge and work flow with you!

This course is designed for aspiring as well as experienced surface pattern designers who want to develop a workflow that not only will suit their style of art but also allow them to choose any layout and repeat type without worrying about the mathematical calculations.
