How to create a Repeating PATTERN using the SYMMETRY tool in PROCREATE

[@PetraHartzog]

Mel, you are the best instructor with the most tasteful patterns!

[@MelArmstrong]

Thanks so much Petra! 😊

[@sheverleyclacken3676]

Lovely pattern. I’d have to watch a couple of times to really grasp.

[@MelArmstrong]

Thank you! Once you get the hang of it you won’t be able to stop! It’s so addictive!

[@DonnaHawkTx]

I'm just getting started with Procreate and you made this so easy! Thank you!

ok - quadrant is … genius ! 😃 awesome tip 🥰 Mel - just fyi - when I did a diamond lately and did the rotate and fit 45 - I actually used the contextual menu buttons ‘rotate arrow 45” and ‘fit to canvas’ - snapping on - just wondering if you have used those ? or found issues thanks for all you do 🥰

[@MelArmstrong]

Yes I have used those and had no issues! 😀

[@AnaNeagu]

A great tutorial, Mel ! Can I create this repeat in Photoshop ?

[@MelArmstrong]

Yes, you can! Photoshop has a similar Symmetry tool. When you click on a brush, you'll see a little butterfly icon on the tool bar which you can use to select the symmetry option. I will put on my list of tutorials to make!

[@AnaNeagu]

Thank you so much! I can wait !!! @@MelArmstrong

Good Job

[@ellenodonohue4511]

Your explanations are so helpful!

[@MelArmstrong]

Glad you think so! Thank you!

[@anupamavuppala9696]

Could u go on to show further how to make a brush with the same pattern

[@Vanajaschannel]

Beautiful tutorial thank you. How do you stop the canvas from shaking whenever the hand is placed on the screen for drawing?. It happens to me every time. It might be a setting.

[@MelArmstrong]

Thank you! Go to Actions -> Preferences -> Gesture Controls -> General then disable the "Enable painting with finger" option. That should hopefully stop it moving!

[@sleepytimedoggo]

Mel, thank you for making such a helpful, clear and concise tutorial! I have been looking all over for someone to explain how to make them, and I just found your video and am ready to make my first pattern! I appreciate the time you put into making this :D

[@MelArmstrong]

I'm so glad it was helpful! 😊

[@carolinamoncada4567]

Estuve buscando esto por mucho tiempo, todos mostraban como lo hacían pero no explicaban desde 0 como tú lo has hecho. Gracias mel! Ahora sí usare mi iPad seguido para hacer estampados y dibujos bonitos :3

[@MelArmstrong]

I'm so happy it was helpful.

[@NATALIEGRIFFEY]

Can you explain why you turn the layer to multiply when setting up your original diamond pattern @2:45?

[@MelArmstrong]

To be honest, it's not a necessary step. You could just lower the opacity. It's just a habit of mine to change it to the Multiple blending mode.

[@franziskan.78]

Thank you for the tip to paint the edges. The wrong size of the pattern made me crazy 🙈

[@MelArmstrong]

Yes, very important step!

[@karenanderson7306]

I love your teaching style. And love this pattern

[@MelArmstrong]

Awww thanks!
