Illustrator - Curved Fan Pattern

[@lucyconway3535]

Helen - you are a star! You're right - I would never have thought of this way to create this pattern. Thank you!

[@HelenBradley]

I am very glad this video was useful to you! Thanks for checking out my channel.

Excellent. I learned so much from that, in such a short time. Truly a no-nonsense expert video.

[@HelenBradley]

Great to hear!

Thanks Helen for this lovely tutorial. I've created a wonderful purple fan with it.

[@HelenBradley]

I am happy to hear about the fan! Thank you for checking out my channel.

Hello Ms. Bradley. I wanted to know if you have a tutorial of this fan shape (scallop) which I can integrate flowers into the shape and not lines as you have them. Love this I just am looking to integrate my flowers into scallop shapes.thank you!

Wow. That was amazing. I’ve been struggling to get a decent looking, stylized, abstract, fish scale pattern and this lovely fan shape pattern is a great learning tool and jumping-off point. My previous attempts (but utilizing a diamond-shaped version for the abstract fish scale pattern), were hideous. I tried at least 3 different methods and none of them looked good enough. (I also wanted that slight overlap you created with this fan shape pattern, so I couldn’t use a regular diamond repeating pattern). The finished pattern will also have to be warped slightly to fit into a wide, rectangular decorative shape, (as in your tutorial about applying a pattern to a real world object). I think I can see light at the end of this design tunnel. Thanks Helen!

[@HelenBradley]

Awesome news Pat. I am so glad that this pattern helped you see a way to solving your own design dilemma. If you ever need help just give me a shout and I'll see what I can do.

Helen Bradley Thanks Helen, I do have a few questions about some AI things I’m having trouble with. I always refer back to your videos if it’s something that I think was covered already and try to figure it out on my own, but I am unsure how to progress with some smaller parts of a larger design. Definitely a “Design Dilemma”!

[@HelenBradley]

Design dilemmas can be challenging! Best of luck solving yours.

You're very welcome!

Ms Bradley I tried this pattern and it looks great. I scaled it to check for any discrepancies and there were none. Somehow when I exported to Spoonflower, there was a break in the pattern as though the edges overlapped at the boundaries. Any help or advice would be great! Thanks!

[@HelenBradley]

How did you export the pattern for Spoonflower? Did you simply take a document filled with the pattern or did you actually export the pattern swatch itself. It’s really important to use the pattern swatch. For that check out my other videos. I have videos on exporting patterns from illustrator to Spoonflower. They should point you in the right direction.
