How to Make a Seamless Pattern in Procreate | Learn The Diamond Method with the Pattern Maker Canvas
Learn how to create seamless diamond repeat patterns in Procreate using my Pattern Maker Canvas and Brush Set! In this step-by-step tutorial, I’ll show you how to sketch, refine and illustrate your motifs to create beautiful repeating patterns with ease. Perfect for surface pattern designers and Procreate users of all levels.
Learn how to adjust colours, shading, and shadows using different blend modes to create unique designs with depth and dimension.
This tutorial uses my Pattern Maker Canvas and Brush Set which you can buy on Etsy, and it's the only way I ever make patterns now! You can still follow along and make a pattern without this set you would just need to draw the diamond layer in Procreate first.
