Pattern Preview in Adobe Photoshop for surface pattern designers
Do you know how to easily create patterns in Photoshop?
Let me show you how I take my hand painted motifs and turn them into beautiful pattern in Photoshop using the pattern preview tool, no math needed!
In this class I will show you how to turn your motifs and illustrations into seamless repeating patterns using pattern preview in Adobe Photoshop. This is a beginner friendly class though some knowledge of Photoshop will be helpful.
We will go over
Organising your motifs
Creating a working file
Create smart objects
Setting up a pattern document
Creating a pattern
Changing the background colour
Saving and exporting the pattern
Pattern preview for sharing your work
This fun class is perfect for artists who hand paint traditionally on paper or create art on their iPad in procreate who want to learn how to turn their art into a pattern!
If you dont have any motifs ready to go, or don’t know how to take your art from paper to screen I suggest you check out this class on digitising your watercolours. It also works well for any hand painted motifs, not just watercolour.
I would love to know of you find this tutorial helpful and what other topics you would like me to cover in upcoming free tutorials.
