Step-by-Step Guide to Repeating Patterns: HALLOWEEN EDITION

[@annac9534]

Only thing I love more than Halloween is all things vintage Halloween. Thanks for this- it’s truly marvelous.

[@chris-piascik]

Thank you!

[@detagustin]

YOU ARE MY FRESCO HERO! (or all things digital drawing 🤓) I’ve incorporated many of your techniques and processes. They just make so much sense in how I draw. Thank you for teaching me so much!

[@chris-piascik]

You are so welcome! Glad to hear!

[@revengeofcoco]

your art makes me so happy as an artist

[@chris-piascik]

Thank you so much!

[@Realname251]

Oh man, that's gold knowledge. Thank you😊

[@letitgogh01]

Thank you so much for such an incredibly educational and FUN video Chris!!! 🎉❤ You are such an inspiration for me and you’ve got so much amazing talent - thank you so much for taking the time to show the world (and for making our lives easier lol) YOU ROCK!

[@chris-piascik]

Thanks so much! So glad you liked it and found it helpful!

[@mariacruse6195]

Thanks for making everything so fun! I’m drawing again thanks to you!

[@chris-piascik]

I'm so glad!

[@aubreyzaragoza2095]

You made my day! Now I can try making patterns myself I'm excited!

[@chris-piascik]

So glad to hear! Have fun!

[@herogear_art]

I love this tutorial, especially since I first learned how to make patterns in Illustrator, before their pattern tool existed! I didn’t know raster graphics could end up looking so clean as a pattern too!

[@chris-piascik]

Thanks! 🙏

[@dillongentry]

Great video. There is some really great stuff here!

[@chris-piascik]

Glad you think so!

[@cheramontero9822]

Awesome as usual!, thanks so much

[@chris-piascik]

My pleasure!

[@jasonv1864]

Awesome tutorial! Please tell me you made stickers for those vintage Halloween characters! They are dope!

[@rdendelacruz4332]

Wow.....i will follow your tutorial making patterns

[@BradAboutYou]

I’m missing something at 13:54 ish! It goes from all together to split vertically!

[@notuppence]

Same

[@BradAboutYou]

@@notuppence essentially though, it’s the same thing he does, but vertical.

[@chris-piascik]

I just made the selection and chose cut from the layer menu.

[@notuppence]

Thanks for shining some light. I guess the bit I'm stuck on is how you get both parts to be on the correct y position. Although you can lock the x and y position when moving the selection there doesn't appear to be a way in Fresco to set the x and y position precisely like you could in photoshop/illustrator so that the pattern follows on. Do you just move it until it looks right or is there a way to enter the specific x and y coordinates?

[@notuppence]

When I gave it ago, even with the snapping on it seems to snap when I move it one way but it doesn't the other so then when I bring it all together there's bound to be a tiny gap or tiny overlap. Hope I'm making sense! Probably just me being a plum as per

[@jennacallahan1]

I thought you were going to say “the candy corn is saying I HATE YOU TOO” 😂 love it. Haha.

[@robertsinzieri7464]

This is awesome. Love the candy corn. Can you please make a “boy, howdy” t-shirt design.

[@chris-piascik]

Lol, maybe! Glad you liked the video.

[@nichadaye1007]

Thanks for doing a new repeating pattern. I’ll have to watch it again. I’m learning fresco and this time you did it all in fresco. I have photoshop and capture options.

[@chris-piascik]

No worries! The last one was a bit early into me making youtube videos so I figured it was time for an update.

[@nichadaye1007]

@@chris-piascik I’m re-watching the introduction to Fresco videos. I’m not good at doing photoshop especially they updated it and I’m confused at doing photoshop. I learned in school but how to use it but they changed it. I like that you did it in fresco and it jumped into photoshop. The connection between the two.

[@ChaosOrZen]

I love capture. Under hyped app. Love it for pulling colors from objects as well as pattern work. Great way to get a black and white image to export as svg for vinyl designs.

[@chris-piascik]

Agreed. I use it to create all kinds of shapes libraries that I can create vector art with in Fresco.

[@GenZAdvice]

and also any alternatives for airbrush in Adobe fresco? (in the free edition:)

[@sadepennbrook]

Why aren’t you using the pattern preview in Photoshop? No need to offset things. View > Pattern preview

[@JazAcrossTheWorld]

3:05 People born 1997 and younger have no BEEF with Candycorn. Most of us like it!

[@AJMcKraken]

I bet you’re really good at Tetris 😂 I need to practice getting several doodles to fit together like a puzzle. Mine are frequently loosey goosey

[@P-Funk69]

Really helpful thanks

[@cms4Lena]

Why Fresco engineers have not yet added the pattern maker right on Fresco?! 3D? And many other great tools needed in doing easily animation… We are waiting for! Thanks a lot to, Piascik!

[@chris-piascik]

It’s a pretty small team, but they’ve been adding things quickly.

[@rockboy.]

You're awesome! I was wondering if you are anybody here knew a website where I can get some fabric printed? thanks!

[@bekindrewindd9256]

This is great. Many thanks! I am wondering, what company did you use to have your personalized desk mat made?

[@lambo_drives]

2:52 (I’ll bite) Optic Nerves 😊

[@chris-piascik]

haha awesome thank you!

[@TheOriginalOrkdoop]

I am curious what the benefit of doing the tiling manually or with offset .vs. pattern preview in photoshop? Is it better to do it manually? Let me know!

[@cliffmello]

Would you do commission work for my business my wife and I are starting?

[@mch2359]

Hey Chris, just a quick Fresco question. Consider Adobe as a big cutting edge passenger ship like the pre-crash Titanic was. Most of the passengers are out and about in the fine dining areas, let's call them the Apple class. Other less fortunate ones on Adobe's ship are in the lower sections, the stowage, locked behind the luggage. These are the Windows class. My question is how do the Windows class, use the Symmetry tools in Frisco?

[@kilycba007]

Hello Chris, I’m following your tutorial. When assembling the pattern, I see a thin white line at the seams. How can I fix it? I’m using snapping, and I understand everything should be exact.

[@maketime4art]

This is a great video! Now all I need to do is come up with a reason as to why I need a pattern! Tiny wallpaper? Wrapping paper for tiny gifts?.... That's it, I'm out 😆 feel free to make suggestions 😁

[@chris-piascik]

All over print shirt? Custom desk mat? Sheets? Curtains?

[@chris-piascik]

And thank you!

[@lexyrae28]

Where did you get this shirt?!? It’s amazing

[@chris-piascik]

My pal Josh LaFayette made it.

[@GenZAdvice]

hey I wanted to ask that what are the tools which I should be aware of as a beginner in Adobe fresco? LOVE YOUR CONTENT THO ITS PERFECT🎀🎀

[@chris-piascik]

Thanks! I actually have an intro to fresco playlist that goes through some of the main categories.

[@GenZAdvice]

@@chris-piascik THANKYOU FOR REPLYING! SURE

[@herogear_art]

What do you call a vampire lollipop? A sucker!

[@chris-piascik]

lol perfect

[@jeanclaudevomdeich4234]

Candy corn got two left hands

[@chris-piascik]

Whoops

[@dianalisarobinson3714]

Yes I wondered lol I conquered Riso. I can do this :)😂

[@chris-piascik]

Yes you can!

[@lambo_drives]

Good luck - I need to conquer “Time” it seems to escape me more and more… I should probably level up on “Planning” first …. Omg 😳 life really is just on Role Play game… here I’ve treated it as a Shakespearean Tragedy up to this point. Wait is all this out loud…. Oh my… who turned me into a Troll… I’m going back to the theater! 🎭

[@MargrietBossink]

I discovered that when I make patterns with the patternmaker of Capture, there was a color difference on the borders of the pattern tile, so it was worthless to make it this way. Hope this bug will be solved soon. 😢

[@Jjvv556]

Great videoo

[@deanharrison7740]

Love your videos man! But please fix the hand on your candy corn. You’ve got his left hand on his right arm, if we are seeing the back of his hand the thumb should be on the other side. Did I mention I love your videos

[@chris-piascik]

Thanks. Sorry about the hand. It gets confusing sometimes. But if you think about it, how do you even know what the back of candy corn’s hand looks like? They don’t even have hands!

[@AlwaysStayGeeky]

But one thing, they arent really continues. I see them being cut off at the first example you show. The pizza is cut off and in front of it is a donut? Which is also cut off. So tech is does not repeat...It's just the same tile over and over with cut of vectors on the ends...

[@chris-piascik]

They are continuous, sounds like maybe I messed something up showing it. Where are you seeing this?

[@ArpLaszlo]

The optic nerve

[@sylviehart]

Spiders. I hate them. I don't draw them. :P Thankful my design jobs have nothing to do with them... yet. I would probably refuse that job unless they pay me five figures. Thanks for the video as always! Fun stuff

[@chris-piascik]

Hah spiders don't bother me that much, but I get it. Although my fear doesn't effect me drawing rodents, I actually like to do that.

[@KingrichardDesigns]

Bats and Spiders for me. ABSOLUTELY NOT …..lol
