this is really useful. thank you Mel. I had no idea there was a clone button in procreate.

[@MelArmstrong]

I'm glad it was useful! Yes!! Love the clone tool. :-)

[@laraertl7911]

Thank you so much I was searching for how to do this!!

[@MelArmstrong]

You’re welcome! I’m glad it was useful!

@@MelArmstrong except it’s not actually working for me :( can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong but I just keep getting lines after repeating it again. I really want a seamless canvas or paper texture for a pattern, please help! Thank you so much!

[@laraertl7911]

I might’ve figured it out, sorry. I’m trying to delete my last comment but it won’t delete.

@@laraertl7911 All good Lara! I'm glad you worked it out. I can remove it if want?

Hi Mel. Is it possible to create a textured background for a half drop repeat? Thank you.

[@hansolo4908]

Nice job, thank you…

[@MelArmstrong]

You're Welcome!

🙏🙏🙏Tnq so much can u shoe how to do gemstone brushes plz

[@sarahfaber9786]

Thanks so much, Mel! I have tried this and am still getting lines when I use the texture in a half-drop pattern. Does this technique not work for half-drops? I'm also wondering if it matters in which order you move the layers into the corners? Thanks again, Mel!!

[@fabian4749]

Hey, I would like to ask what to do if you have made your texture using the Liquify tool. We cannot use a brush to clone it!! And also what if the pattern consists of multiple colors instead of just white and only one color?

[@zoeyd6558]

Would this work with a gradient background too?

[@eze3572]

Great video, I’m glad to have info like this. It’s very frustrating to have a long day at work then come home only to prolong the frustration bc I’m trying to make a pattern that keeps giving me hairlines! 😢😂. What size canvas do you use. Sometimes I notice it’s caused by a bad canvas size.

[@MelArmstrong]

Thanks for watching. I typically use a 10" x 10" or 3000px x 3000px, unless I'm doing something specific for a client.

Great result but I want less effort😅
