Thank you so much for another very helpful tutorial video Laura. I very much appreciate the time and energy you put into making and sharing your videos.

[@LauraCoyle]

You are so welcome Jody!

This was a pretty complex tutorial, however, since I’ve watched lots of your other pattern making tutorials through your membership, it makes total sense! I will definitely need to refer back to it multiple times, but this was a great video!

Hi Sarah!! I'm so glad you liked it, it is definitely on the more complex side of things. After I posted the new texture lessons in Illustrator Artistry, I wanted to see one of my image tracings through to the final product - this design took me a few tries to get right!

[@Helenjojoful]

it's very interesting and I am amazed of all these amazing tips. Thank you!

[@LauraCoyle]

You're so welcome!

Great Tutorial. Thank you Laura

[@LauraCoyle]

Thanks for watching!

Almost 20 min to make a seamless pattern - this is actually a great example, how outdated Illustrator and its workflow.

[@LauraCoyle]

Art and teaching take time, can't always blame Illustrator, although sometimes I do ;-)

Thank you for posting this! Does Spoonflower update their color map?

I don't know how often, you might want to check with them. The last time I checked it was the same.
