    Hello Mel! I just have recently came across your videos and they are so inspirational! I graduated last year in graphic design and I wanted to get into pattern making! I have done it before and I enjoy it so much! I was wondering if you have a video or content that shares how you use procreate and illustrator hand and hand to make patterns. If so I would appreciate if you could point me to that content. Also, just wanted to share that you are very talented! You have a God-given talent my friend! Jesus loves you! ☺️

    Got to minute 15 and gave up, I got the snapping understood but once you started with the grouping of layers again I was overwhelmed and it felt too hard to follow for me rn even with pausing. Maybe naming your layers would help us follow along. I’m gonna search for a more beginner friendly one then try to come back and finish this one!

    Hi-im new to this - do you use RGB colours or cymk if working on procreate? I don't have procreate yet .! Thx

    • @MelArmstrong
      @MelArmstrong 7 днів тому

      I work in either RGB or CYMK depending on what I'm creating for. Children's books are generally CMYK, whereas if I'm creating a pattern collection for Spoonflower, it's RGB.

    I like how the transparent linen texture changes color as it is laid over the colors below it. (e.g. it become a darker pink over the pink, a darker teal over the teal, etc.) Is it possible to get this same look in a vector format?)

    • @MelArmstrong
      @MelArmstrong 12 днів тому

      I haven't been very successful in creating a brush that will do this in Illustrator like I do it in Photoshop, but you can do it using filters. I will be doing a tutorial on how to do that.

      It's really up to you and also what you're printing it on. You may not want this texture if you're printing on Linen fabric for example. But I use it in a lot of my designs and it prints well on a lot of fabric and art prints.
