Having basic knowledge of Illustrator is an asset, but not required, as these may be tools you have never tried and can now learn in depth. Part of this skillset is learning about options for customizing brushes in real-world situations. I will clearly explain all the steps as we proceed.
Once your brushes are ready, you will create some unique motifs. Using the brushes and understanding how to control them when pattern-making is an important skill. Learning what to look for and how it's done is critical for you in your graphic design or surface pattern design career. It's easy to make a pattern, but to make a unique, original, interesting and well-designed pattern is what will set you apart! Observe my methods and you will learn plenty and get a full grasp of how a designer works! And the neat thing is, you will have a sweet pattern at the end that you can use for a pattern collection or for any number of cool projects.
