Hi Lisa! Thanks a lot for sharing the tester with us, it’s a life-changer! Can you tell me, please, what is the best way to save artworks made of repeating patterns? Do you simply make a screenshot of the tester page or do you save the Procreate file in a certain way, in order to see the pattern at a smaller scale?

[@BardotBrush]

If you need a version of your pattern repeated, the best way to do this would be using the transform tool. Shrink the pattern block down to 1/4 of it's size (snapping will help you do this perfectly). Then duplicate it three times and tile them to fill the entire canvas. Hopefully that explains it! I hope to make another pattern video one day about advanced techniques for making patterns in Procreate.

[@teodoravasile7126]

@@BardotBrush Thanks for the reply! This is how I’ve done it and I’m happy with the image quality. And once again, your tester makes the process a lot easier 😊

[@guacamollie2460]

Thanks you so much for all of your tutorials ! It helped me a lot to understand all of the possibility of Procreate as a photoshop / paint tool Sao user!

[@mooncake93]

@@BardotBrush Hi Lisa! Thank you for your tutorial and your great tester! I shrank the pattern I made into ¼ of its size with snapping on, and then did the duplication and tiling. However, when I did that, even though everything was snapping and lining up perfectly (according to the grid), white lines appeared across my pattern where the images met. Do you have a solution for this?

[@lrr9784]

@@mooncake93 I have this problem all the time too!

[@SeaLemonDIY]

The pattern tester you made is brilliant!

[@eze3572]

Thank you so much! Ill never understand why people as intelligent as you are willing to freely share your knowledge but just want you to know its life changing for some of us and there’s a special place in heaven for you! ❤

[@eligrahams]

As an artist I was so excited when I finally got my iPad, apple pencil and procreate combo! But quickly got overwhelmed with its amazingness. Your tutorials are helping me so so much. I'm excited to pick up my iPad now and create. Thank you!!

[@29mirstudio]

This pattern tester has officially made you The Queen of Procreate. You are awesome!

[@BardotBrush]

Oh thank you!

[@Christina-tp4mo]

That fact that you actually made a pattern tester for people to use ... and you named a pallet "Yam I Am" speaks volumes of you, and ma'am, you are the high priestess! 🙌

[@BardotBrush]

Hahah glad you like my color palette name. I had fun naming them!

[@aniketvp]

The editing is on a whole another level in this video 🤯

[@BardotBrush]

Means a lot. Thank you.

[@firebutterfly]

The paper demonstration is what did it for me. The best example I've seen so far. The black layer was really great for supporting the visual too. Great video.

[@elsacarrillo3361]

I was actually going to ask about the black layer, what was the point of it? Do you actually need it? Or was it just to help visualize the pattern better when working with it?

[@krishashah2405]

Hello, Just wanted to let you know that you have literally helped me learn how to make repeating patterns in 10 mins that I have been trying to figure out for months. Thank you so very much. Can’t thank you enough,really.😊😊

[@candicecrawford3725]

GIRLLLL YOU’RE A LIFESAVER! This video is so helpful! 🫶🏼

[@deborahcorreale352]

WOW!!! The beginning when you gave the example with the stamps was AMAZING and made so much sense. Thank you so much

[@khart1825]

This is perfect, I was just scouring KZbin this very minute for something like this!

[@BardotBrush]

Glad I can help!

[@DonnaMaryam]

Thanks Lisa! This was a little tricky for me, but I kept backing up and rewatching and redoing sections. It was great fun! I'm so glad you showed your designs on products like the fabric. I never thought of that! Every time I watch your tutorials I'm more inspired to try new things.

[@lisaglassberg9541]

One other thing you can do is when you go to “Copy All”, turn your background layer off. That way your pattern will have a transparent background and you can then play with trying different background colors (darker vs lighter, etc). Nice tutorial, BTW. Your pattern repeat tester is very handy.

[@BardotBrush]

Yep, that is another way to do it! If you do it this way, you will need to create a guide layer as I did in the strawberry example, otherwise, your artwork may not snap properly.

[@kerrymitchell3982]

I was just about to ask if this would work ! Thank you

[@geenatron]

This video was such a gift. You’re an engaging teacher. And I *am* excited to make a pattern now! Thank you Lisa!

[@danielbrylka2228]

Thank you Lisa for sharing your art and techniques with us! 🙏🤗

Thank you!

[@marnibowen7286]

The example of how to make the repeat with the 4 pieces of paper is priceless!!! not to mention the rest of the video. Thank you for explaining it in an easy to understand way.

[@BardotBrush]

Glad it was helpful!

[@freebeerishere]

This is such a clever way to work WITH a repeating pattern rather than just making one. Awesome

[@nancyloomis3046]

You’re AMAZING Lisa! Thanks so much for showing us all these great things we can do with Procreate. I’m definitely going to be doing this pattern technique!

[@Beffinee]

Your tutorials are always so helpful and clear, thank you so much! 💜

[@comicspasta]

This is SO helpful! I always wondered how people did this and now I'm feeling so inspired!!! No longer is my chicken astronaut bedsheet pattern dream out of reach....

[@maraschinocherries1036]

And you can print it on fabric on Spoonflower!

[@joandrade6518]

[@NikoleHorkin]

You’ve done it AGAIN! You solved yet another problem I was having and simplified it in a way that makes it easy for someone like me who is not tech savvy. Thank you so much. I’m excited to now tackle all my dream projects I have put off because I couldn’t understand how to achieve it before. ❤️🥰🙏🏻
