In this class I will show you how to make a hand-drawn, seamless pattern repeat with pen and paper, and then show you how to digitize it in Adobe Illustrator. If you’re new to or not used to work in Illustrator I’ve included a section in this class where I show you the basics so you’ll be able to follow along and do what I do.
After this class you will be able to create manual pattern repeats and also know how to make them digital and work with your pattern in Adobe Illustrator. You will learn how to convert your manual pattern in Adobe Illustrator’s pattern tool, how to change colors and add details and how to export your finished pattern for social media and online portfolios.
This class is for both beginners and more experienced designers.
Let’s have some pattern making fun!
