Learn Game-Changing Workflows for Creating Stunning Surface Pattern Designs
In this comprehensive course, you’ll gain technical knowledge and confidence in using your texture-rich Procreate artwork directly in Adobe Illustrator to produce professional pattern designs.
Master the art of combing both apps for stunning designs
Harness the strength of these two powerful apps
Procreate has become one of the most popular apps for creating art. And for good reason! With the vast array of brushes available, it’s the perfect tool for surface pattern designers wanting to produce hand crafted work bursting with texture.
On the other hand there’s no denying that Adobe Illustrator’s Pattern Tool and Image Trace function still remains an effective tool when creating repeating patterns.
In this class you’ll learn how to combine these two powerful apps and harness their strengths to build gorgeous designs ready to sell! All while maintaining that beautiful texture you created in Procreate.
I’ll teach you three transformative workflows to create texture-rich patterns!

Frequently asked questions
Who is this course for?
This course is for both beginners and seasoned pattern designers. Although I’ll be walking you through every step in Procreate and Adobe Illustrator, basic knowledge of these apps is recommended.
However, if you’re new to these apps and eager to dive into learning I’m confident you’ll find all the lessons easy to follow. And don’t forget I’m an email away should you have any questions.
Do I need any supplies or special software to take this course?
Yes, you’ll need an iPad with Procreate installed. An Apple Pencil to get the most out of the brushes. And the full desktop version of Adobe Illustrator.
It’s important to used the desktop version of Adobe Illustrator due to the mobile iPad version missing some feature we use in class.

As a licensing artist I’m always on the hunt for finding ways to speed up my art-making process without compromising my style. Finding workflows to retain the texture that is pivotal to my artwork is an important part to making art for a living.
These workflows have been a game-changer for me and allows flexibilty while still producing prefessional work I’m proud to license. I’m thrilled to be able to share these techniques with you and help you produce work ready to license or sell!
