Easy Geometric Patterns in Procreate

What You Will Learn?

• This class, Easy Geometric Patterns in Procreate, will demonstrate some of my pattern design methodology, and quick and easy ways to create two simple geometric patterns. In the class, I take you from start to finish in creating full seamless repeat patterns, notably using either a square or a circle to start. And, I have techniques to save the pattern in many iterations and colors, as well as the added bonus of producing a pattern brush. I use a specific 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..
• In this class I’ll walk you through:.
•  .
• 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 pattern coordinates and collections and methods to improve efficiency..
• The key concepts I will include:.
• This is an ideal class for you, even if you are not sure what you will use the pattern for, whether it be for fabric design for sites like Spoonflower, scrapbooking paper, custom web graphics, or whatever! Learning new Procreate workflows is always desirable. I guarantee you will create something really appealing, and it’s so much fun, once you get the hang of it!.
• Intro to Easy Geometric Patterns in Procreate.
• This short intro will give you an overview of the class..
• Lesson 1: Starting the Triangular Pattern.
• In this lesson, I will show you the objectives for class and explain the set-up of the initial triangular pattern. I discuss snapping and magnetics and the canvas guides I use as well as explaining blending modes and opacity as it applies in this scenario..
• Lesson 2: Expanding on the Design for Variety.
• In this lesson, I will break down the complete process of creating the initial single pattern repeat. We experiment with opacity and recoloring some of the components as well as talking about snapping and magnetics and flipping the layers..
• Lesson 3: Strategies in Planning Your Pattern .
• In this lesson, I will explain creating a full pattern repeat from what we have created. I talk about the advantage of grouping layers for easy duplication. I also take the time to create a brush to further test out how well our values have worked..
• Lesson 4: Setting Up the Circular Pattern.
• We will set up the circular pattern in this lesson and I give you tons of tips and tricks for making the process simple and quick. Layering is going to be important here to achieve the results we desire in the next lesson, so I show you how to make all the parts individual so they can be moved to a different order in the layer’s palette..
• Lesson 5: Finalizing the Circular Components.
• In this lesson, we finalize the layout of the circular pattern. I discuss a few methods..
• Lesson 6: Circular Design Color Experiments.
• At this stage, we pull our layout together, and I will experiment with different color combinations. We play with the colors while keeping it monochromatic. I also explain, in this lesson, why you might sometimes experience gaps in your design and what to do to alleviate the issue..
• Lesson 7: Testing the Pattern on Mock Ups.
• In this lesson I will take you through the process of testing the patterns on mock-ups. I show you a great variety and explain why I find it so useful to test my patterns in this way..
• Lesson 8: Conclusion and Wrap Up.
• We will conclude everything in this lesson. I show you a couple of quick mock-ups with the pattern and we end with a chat about next steps..
• Concepts covered:.
• Concepts covered include but are not limited to Procreate pattern design, layering, transparency and opacity, Procreate brush stamps, Procreate canvas settings, Procreate snapping and guides, art licensing, flipping components, tone and value of colors, creating original brush stamps in Procreate, the Brush Studio in Procreate, adjusting Procreate brushes, sizing of documents and brushes, workflow best practices, painting best practice, Procreate composites, techniques with paints and blending, and much more..
