I'm writing to you this week from sunny Rome! I've been enjoying a couple of weeks soaking up all of the food, wine, and art history that Italy has to offer before my watercolor retreat in France kicks off at the end of the month. As I was thinking of this week's #CreateWithCatCoq challenge, I decided to go with one of my personal favorites - Seamless Patterns. |
|
As a surface designer, patterns are an essential part of my business. From wallpaper, to fabric, to bedding, seamless patterns have been a key part of my portfolio for years. Many of my top-selling print on demand product designs are seamless patterns, so it's a great skill to learn if you want to sell your artwork online. |

#CreateWithCatCoq - Create a Seamless Pattern in Procreate |
|
For new surface designers, seamless patterns can feel a little daunting. Believe me, I have totally been there! But this technique can actually be pretty simple once you get the hang of it. And it's even simpler when you design patterns in Procreate. |
|
Plus, they're just fun to make! I love doodling elements for patterns when I'm watching Netflix or on the phone with my mom (hi mom!). To help encourage those of you who may be new to this, I wanted to make this week's #CreateWithCatCoq challenge all about seamless patterns in Procreate. If you're brand new to seamless patterns, check out this blog post that will take you through the process step-by-step. |
