I really love how you explain the step by step... I'm currently working on a project that requires me to make patterns, and this video is really helpful! Thanks man!

[@emilysesso5134]

I learned so much more than how to make a geometric pattern in this. Loved it. Thank you!

[@Lauravillareal-ce5de]

Thank you for this tutorial!!! Seriously you’re the only one that really explain it from scratch. 👏

[@CatalinGulan]

Martin, as usually an awesome tutorial you shared with all of us!!!❤ Thank you very much indeed! Great work !

[@jadimihir7893]

Thank You, Sir! I got to know many new techniques of Adobe illustrator!

[@elmonterrosa]

I've been creating patterns for a few years now, more scattered ones--the geometric ones can be a little tough to get completely perfect depending on the intricacies - this was wow! Thanks for sharing!

[@David-te5qx]

Champion ! J'adore cette manip. ! Merci !

[@shahidbelawala]

There is no reason to unlike any of your videos. Your videos are always helpful.

[@joymwihia]

I love how you are visible at the bottom there. Great tutor, you are.

[@wiewiorka_ojoj4167]

Great tutorial, I’ve learned a lot from you, thank you Martin! I have a question also: do you have maybe a tutorial about “how to prepare the file to print”? I mean not only in which format or size/resolution is the best to save it but also some useful tips like: if we use the raster image it should be embedded or transparency should be flatten, or some other things. It would be great if you could explain some “technical” things on “how to prepare the file before printing to get the best result :) thank you in advance for your answer, have a great day!

Super useful video thanks for sharing

[@graphicgalaxystudio4864]

very useful thank you

[@mandynelson4073]

Hi Martin, great video thank you. I'm very new to Illustrator-- if you were to create a cube shape out of this by matching the anchor points instead of leaving them as arrows, if you then created a cube pattern out of it, is it possible to edit the fill of individual cubes after the pattern has been created?

[@fayssalfayssal3347]

thank you my friend

[@user-di2xq6kr3p]

You are the illustrator equivalent of umesh from pixemperfect

[@YesImaDesigner]

99 99 he is great and it's nice to be compared to him 👍

[@aminoamino3709]

Pixemperfect is very friendly and gentle tutorial but Yes I'm a Designer is so precise and technical ...

DONE subscribed. Thank a lot and very helpful tutorial 💚💙

[@aminoamino3709]

So Pro. tutorial ... You are good

[@hertzdesigns9166]

🔥🔥🔥

[@JaiSequoia]

Such a great video thank you! Your courses look excellent too. I have a question that was sparked when you were showing us how moving handles moves all of them (I've honestly never seen that in illustrator and wonder if there's a setting or something I'm missing)... anyway I digress... I have a client whose logo is a fairly simple illustration of a horse, but when scaled down becomes too fine (the lines). I'd like to thicken it up for them but I"m not sure how? Last I knew you needed a plugin for illustrator to do that? If you could point me in the right place I'd be so grateful!

[@OwolabiEsther]

you're such an inspiration to me , it seems you don't know how much you've helped me , also in my youtube channel

[@sachinkushwah190]

very interesting tricks 😍😍🔥🔥

[@hectordemiguel1078]

[@daniel4chizzy]

Hiiii, how did you go back to your main design at 14:07 till 14:21 to adjust the node '''cos I can't seem to be able to do that. Thanks.

[@bigdhav]

Looks like the Unity logo!

[@nontrickpony]

Learned more in the first 3 mins of this video than I did in 4 years at university.

[@karmapolice6783]

Hello! Thank you for this video! BUT How to change this pattern to Vector???

[@skidicp]

where can i set the option that i can see the pink lines when i hover over the object??????

[@JayJacks0n]

And how do I get a separate tile from this pattern?

[@TheValkoooo]

Hei! Its good tutor but somehow the effect dosnt work on my computer :( The Cap in stroke menu is not round(first icon), but on the artbord lines caps are rounded

[@tuvshinbatsundui837]

i using cs6 is it differnet>? i hava difficulty?

[@kellyfeger]

Hi thanks for the tutorial! But towards the end, when I am changing the pattern's colors in the Pattern Options menu, everything works just like you showed EXCEPT my patterns are black at the tips/points of each line. So the arrows are the colors I set but the tip of each line is black. It's really weird. I wish I could attach and image to show you what I mean.

[@4kCloudGamer]

I saw several times, and I think the key is "Group"before applying "Transform“Effect.In the Layer panel ,Drag the line into the Group!And you will make the whole pattern .

[@texsohag]

someone, please help me, when i short/reduce the line after made transform its not short others 2 line in the same time. i mean its shorter when I release the anchor point. If you want a video screen then I can provide anyone. please help.

[@andrewkidd311]

Make sure Real-Time Drawing and Editing is selected under Performance in the System Preferences.

[@jasonwidney]

Where did you get your shirt?

[@neilthornely9713]

That bit at around 3:00 where he 'accidentally' creates the Abstergo logo. Coincidence? I think not.

[@subairkm5712]

How will I get ideas to create a professional logos? Sir can you please help me ? (I'm a beginner)

[@sagharkhan4275]

SORYY I M UNABLE TO UNDERSTAND, THE POINT AFTER DELETION GRAPHICS STYLE , WHAT DID YOU DO OR SAID? AT WHICH LOCATION?

[@eduardomaia2154]

When I move things, it doesn't preview like in the video. Can someone help?

[@sayyidmaizar2153]

Is this effect only on Ai 2020??

[@wiewiorka_ojoj4167]

Is there an option in Illustrator “place a pattern along the path” (created with the pen tool for example) like in the photoshop? I really need this option :)

[@YesImaDesigner]

You need to create a Pattern Brush for that. Drag the design you want to use into the Brushes panel and choose Pattern Brush. I have a few videos on the channel on how to use them, make sure to check them out.

[@wiewiorka_ojoj4167]

Thank U for the advice, I have to check the recommended tutorials then :)

[@AroundTheWorld-tg1le]

Im not intrested i just love it😗

[@fallenangel9853]

How to colour the background of a pattern ?

Mansur Cham certainly, I used this technique many times in client work.

[@mansurcham1117]

[@amitdnath4776]

[@maesterchi]

Bro casually made the Unity Logo

[@avramoana2787]

I just dont understand how you moved the pattern to the artboard, it is really frustrating.

[@hahahahahahaxdd4022]

kurwa co to jest nic nie rozumiem

[@CheetosRun]

jebac cie bez mozgu

[@menofmayhemmm]

Jesus Christ next time tell us how to PASTE the swatches into the artboard, clicking done and it disappeared

[@sagharkhan4275]

I THINK , YOU HAVE WASTED MY TIME , BY NOT CLEARLY EXPLAIN,THE TURNING POINT
