How to recolour patterns in Illustrator

Are you a surface pattern designer struggling to easily recolour your patterns?

Let me show you how I easily recolour my patterns in just a few seconds!

In this tutorial I will show you

·         how to use the recolour tool in adobe illustrator

·         how to change colours using a colour palette

·         how to change colours without a colour palette

·         how to reduce the number of colours in your patter  - great for screen printing
·         how to auto save your newly coloured pattern swatch

This also works well for recolouring artwork in illustrator - it doesn’t have to be a pattern!

This is a basic tutorial which just covers making colour changes to patterns. I do not cover how to save the pattern tile. If you are new to patterns you may like to check out this tutorial here  - Adobe Illustrator Pattern Preview Tool.
