First time I’ve even got a pattern to line up properly in procreate after many painful attempts! Thank you 🙏🏼

[@MelArmstrong]

Oh yay! That’s awesome! I’m so glad I could help!

[@Kayleighx30stm]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I finally got my pattern right after hours of trying with a different method. So I decided to search for another method and I found yours. After that, it was a quick fix. I am so grateful ❤

[@MelArmstrong]

Oh yay! This makes my day! Thank you so much for watching. I'm so glad it helped you!

I just found your beautiful and useful page and going through all these videos one by one. It is a nice of you teaching all these tips one by one ❤ I even purchased your brushed. I love them, they are perfect if you want to add lovely texture to your art and make them more unique and alive. I’ve never drawn anything before and just started drawing and I made my very first patterns. Really like to be a surface pattern designer one day but I don’t know the clear way to become a professional someday. I don’t know how to make a portfolio or anything else, I would be appreciated if you could help me with that.I really like to share my patterns with you and have your feedback about them or if you have any course which is useful for me I really like to know about them ❤

[@TinyWorldsinFabric]

Hello, and first of all, I wanted to thank you so much for your generous videos, I have learned so much from you. I have a question and I know you are busy, but if you have a chance I would love your suggestion. I have made a stamp brush before, and had no problem, but when I make the drawing for the fan template, and paste it, it pastes on a black background instead of the white, and the drawing is super light grey and I can't see it. when I tap to reverse the image so that the background is white , my drawing is super light grey instead of black. I tried to export it into photos and import from there, and that worked but it also was super light grey. I'm sure I must have changed a setting somewhere without realizing it, because I did the exact same thing for another brush stamp a few weeks ago and it worked great. If you have any insights that you can share I would be so grateful.

Hi Mel, I loved this tutorial SO much! It makes designing beautiful seamless patterns easy. However, it must be me, but I'm having a problem getting everything to snap in correctly. I have magnetic and snapping turned on and the distance and velocity set to the max. Do you have any suggestions as to why this is being so tricky for me?

[@MelArmstrong]

Hey Julie, yes it can be tricky to get it to snap to the correct place and takes a bit of practice and patience. One tip is to use your other finger to release the selection by clicking on the move tool (arrow) to deselect. I find my hand with the apple pencil sometimes nudges it when I release it.

[@juliefutoran-ulsted3293]

Thank you so much Mel, this is exactly what I needed and makes all the difference! Another thing I noticed is that I think the snapping has an even harder time when working on canvases bigger than what you show in your example. Using a 27x27 px canvas was even more tricky, but with your tip I got it to work! What a relief!!🙂@@MelArmstrong

Mam procreate is app or software? I want to learnt if and download it. Plz reply

[@MelArmstrong]

[@stephaniek2913]

Around 4:34, you start duplicating Layer two but then you stop talking. What is the last action you do after consolidating the multiple Layer 2's before you test the pattern? I have slowed it down to .25 on repeat & can't see what you are doing. Thanks! 100% new to this.

[@MelArmstrong]

Thanks for watching and reaching out to ask your question. I actually just duplicated and then merged the layers to make the pencil line stand out a bit more. This is not a step you need to do, so you can completely ignore it. 🙂

[@stephaniek2913]

@@MelArmstrong OK, thank you. Somewhere I went wrong as my pattern did not align so I'll have to try again.

[@stephaniek2913]

@@MelArmstrong Also, thank you for your swift reply! Very kind of you.

[@MelArmstrong]

@stephaniek2913 It can be a bit tricky when you are starting out, but once you get the hang of it, you'll be addicted!! 😁
