Illustrative Pattern 2

02.13.10 | Free Tutorials

I enjoy creating patterns. When I started developing the patterns for my book “Drip.Dot.Swirl” I became immersed in this art form for over two years solid. Every where I looked I would see inspiration for a new pattern.

When I was approached by the publishers of the “Adobe CS4 WOW!” book and asked to contribute to it I decided to create a new pattern to use as the background for my final artwork.

This tutorial documents this patterns creation and will show the fundamentals when it comes to creating a tiled pattern that you can seamlessly repeat. It’s fun, easy, and creatively addictive.

    Hello Von! Last week I took my kids to the library – they’re 3 and 4 and miracle upon miracles, they sat down and had a quiet time reading – so I popped stelathily over to the art section and the first thing I grabbed off teh shelf was your book. I have pored over every page and loved it – great job! BUT – the big WOW for me has been in finding this site! I have only just recently ‘discovered’ the idea of surface pattern and design (ok – I knew patterns and have loved Escher for years – but I had alight bulb moment when it occurred to me I could actually do it *duh*)!!! So I’ve bene scouring the net for some self help as I am unable to undergo any formal training – and so far, emailing designers has proved a dead end as no one has chosen to reply! So this site is like an answer to my prayers as I can now start to make some headway into getting out the designs from inside my head!!! I have CS3 Illustrator, PS and InDesign and am just now learning how to use them through some on-line tuts from Lynda.com. So… Thankyou for being so open and giving of your talent and skills – have an awesome week, and I’ll definitely be back! Cheers, from Donna
