Learn how to add texture to an Illustrator pattern swatch and to save it all as a new seamless repeating pattern swatch. I'll show you where to locate free downloadable vector textures to use and how to make these work as textures for your patterns. You will learn how to get a swatch out of the Swatches palette to work with. How to clip it and then add your texture as a transparency mask. Once that is done, I'll show you how to place the new textured swatch in the Swatches so you can use it. I will also explain what textures and patterns will work best with this approach without you needing to do much work with the texture to prepare it for use.
