Besides introducing you to some cool artists, giving sneak peeks and before and afters of some friends homes, and sharing my favorite new product finds, I thought it would be nice to share some of the things I have learned along the way of being a illustrator/pattern designer. One of the questions I frequently get emailed is -how do you make a repeat pattern? I thought it would be fun today to do a little tutorial showing you how simple it is even with a very complex drawing.

And you don’t even need a computer! On a clean piece of paper draw a design in the middle of your paper without letting any of the drawing touch the edges- this is very important. Once you finish the middle space as much as you want you are going to cut your drawing in half- scary I know- but that’s why computers are helpful.

Create a new layer with noise on a gray background, blend mode screen. Advertisement Duplicate this layer, invert (Ctrl + I), displace by 1 pixel down, blend mode multiply. Reduce the opacity of both layers to 20% Then colorize it (color layer in soft light mode), you can do it twice You can brighten it if it is necessary (the layers in the soft light mode), insert the icons, buttons, text or whatever you have in your design. In addition: on the second step you should apply edit→define pattern and in further work use the pattern overlay in luminosity mode. 7inShare AndrewG. Urban Sketch Font. Untitled Document.
