How to Make a Repeat Pattern by Hand / Create a Pattern Tile / Seamless Pattern / Making Repeats

I want to share with you my favorite method of making repeats using traditional media. All you need for this method is paper and any tool for drawing. You don't need to cut anything!

So very useful and inspiring. This is the first time I saw this technique. I am a painter who knows little about patterns and surface design but like looking at them as they are fascinating and your work is so gorgeous. Thank you for sharing.🙏🏼🤩😎❤️

so good! thank you for sharing. Your art is wonderful and your voice is so soothing!

[@polinaoshu]

Thank you so much!

[@jasmarr]

Thank you so much for teaching this method. So helpful and easy. And yes can you also please make a video how to do the cutting method? I think you should teach at Skillshare. I have been learning from a teacher there and I did not get her methods at all. So complicated. You explain beautifully and easy to understand.

[@barbaracimini1447]

Genius!❤️

[@polinaoshu]

Barbara, thank you so much! ❤️

[@danielaexner]

yes would be nice if you film the other aswell! thx for sharing!

[@marthacampbell6188]

This was great 😊 I'm curious to know the next stage now

[@polinaoshu]

Thank you so much! 💖 Yes, the next stage is really interesting and a bit more complicated 🤓

[@maherocha]

Amazing! Thank you for sharing your art with us!

[@user-po9pv7rw1g]

omg, as a pattern design newbie, this is so helpful-thank you so much! 😊 do you happen to know if there's a similar way to make seamless half-drop repeats by hand?

[@UTPALRAHMAN]

🙏🙏🙏😍😍😍..... Love this.......

[@jette7777]

Awesome 👌 I want to work on patterns ... please post more Polina well done

[@polinaoshu]

Thank you very much for your feedback! 🙏❤️

[@Tanya_navsegda]

Круто! Обязательно попробую такой способ 😀

[@polinaoshu]

Здорово! ☺️ Я так порой делаю эскизы :)

[@Tanya_navsegda]

@@polinaoshu да, классная мысль, хотя бы эскизы так делать. У меня "живой" эскиз в итоге как-то симпатичнее получается, мне кажется)

[@polinaoshu]

У меня бывает такая сложность перенести всю живость эскиза на финальную работу)) Но этот метод я скорее использую для «эскизного конструирования», если можно так сказать 😅 продумываю на нём расположение и размер элементов

[@patriciachavez457]

please make a video on how to digitize it!! i'll lover it THANKS

[@lilianamentasti3872]

Hermoso

[@andrea859]

Thank you so much. I've been wondering how to make a repeat pattern. I do have Adobe CC.

[@polinaoshu]

Welcome 🤗❤️ This method is for creating pattern with traditional media. It's also not too complicated to do it with Photoshop. Select an area to use as a pattern. Then choose Edit > Define Pattern. I’ll try to make a video about this too :)

[@ElenaAst-bk7eo]

Хочется поставить 10 лайков 😍 я знала про другой способ, он не такой удобный, а этот мне очень понравился! Пойду пробовать, спасибо ☺️

[@polinaoshu]

Спасибо!!! 💖💖💖 Классно, что что-то полезное ☺️🙌✨

[@rhijay4226]

I've recently discovered your work and I adore it. Also been finding your videos incredibly helpful - thank you 😊 🙏

[@dorcassanya]

Thankyou for the great video. do you also teach on skillshare?

[@bduranribera]

Absolutely loved the tutorial! I've been following you on Instagram for some time now and I didn't know you also had a KZbin channel! Very happy to see more of you :) I love making prints so the more you share the more I'll watch :) Thank you Polina!

[@polinaoshu]

Blanca, thank you so much! ❤️🙏 I’m very new to KZbin. I’m only just learning 😄 So thank you so much for your support!!! 🥰

[@ReensaraiArtbyReenaS]

wow

[@punkisl989]

This method is WAY better than the paper cutting method! Never seen anyone done this way and thank you for sharing! This help me with the beginning process because it is so hard to thing what motifs to draw to make things work! You are an amazing teacher! Are u on Skillshare or any teaching platform??

[@renatafmh7174]

Can i do in Illustrator? What is a Mockup? How do you do in Photoshop or Illustrator? The way you design are wow!

[@AT-mk4bs]

This is great thank you! You really insipired me to make some of my own patterns :) I love your art

[@polinaoshu]

Thank you so much! I’m so happy to read that you are inspired to create patterns! ❤️ Good luck! 🙌✨✨✨

[@gitelplatvoet2808]

I just discovered you, amazed how simple you teachings are. Want really to try and fell in love with pattern design, I never did it before. Thank you so much for the inspiration💝

[@Heatherhigleydrums]

Do you have any videos about how to make patterns that flow over the edge of the page? Or is it only done with a computer? I don't have photoshop access...too expensive these days :(

[@sunnyseason6543]

Do you have a skillshare class?

[@gwynnethvanjaarsveld7030]

Hey I have a question :Do you have any trouble with the folds in the paper showing up when you scan the artwork?

[@barbaraphilleo5495]

What kind of colored paper do you use?

[@TheLauryflo]

How do you digitalize your art using Photoshop??

[@galacticgummybearzzz]

Hi Polina, you're work is so vibrant and beautiful :) I just wondered; are your sketchbook patterns seamless/repeat or do you turn some of them into seamless patterns after scanning and editing digitally?

[@PlumeMarqueur]

Can you share the link to your canon printer please?

[@svetlanaakhmadyshina2835]

I have found your course on Domestica, it's in English. Are there any course in Russian? Thank you.

[@keiralionel]

Do you have certain technique thats applicable in digital pattern making?

[@polinaoshu]

The most convenient option for me to make a pattern digitally is “Pattern >Make” in Adobe Illustrator 🙌🌸

[@mitalikrishna61]

This will come under camouflage ??

[@opeyemiodewale793]

How can I get coloured marker or pen

[@TheBici47]

They’re posca pens. I ordered some from Amazon. Hope you find them easily!

[@uusha357]

Hello mam my name is Uusha S. I want to ask u that i draw textile designs only on page not digitally i want to sell it or i want to sell it or i want a job. But i do not know where to sell it or to whom i can contact? So can u tell me what should I do?

[@KarenLeanneCreates2024]

I appreciate your tutorials, however even with both volume toggles all the way up, I can barely hear you. Please check your end. Meanwhile, I am anxious to learn this skill! Thanks so much!

[@chloea2254]
