Typographic Pattern Design in Procreate

Did you know you can make seamless, repeating patterns in Procreate? I’ll show you how!
With this start-to-finish tutorial, you will create a high-resolution pattern swatch, then turn it into a seamless, repeating pattern. I’ll be demonstrating the technique using a simple, hand-lettered design, but you can follow along with any illustration style – it doesn’t have to be typographic!

I’ll show you three methods for exporting your finished swatch as a seamless, repeating pattern. By the end of class, you will have:

1. a Procreate pattern brush, so you can draw your pattern on any canvas size, at any scale, then export your design for print;
2. an industry-standard pattern fill swatch in Adobe Photoshop and the skills to apply it to a product mockup;
3. a vectorized fill swatch in Adobe Illustrator, for a repeating pattern that is easily recolorable and scalable.
