Step-by-Step Mini Tutorial:
Step 1: Create the background
Open Procreate and set your canvas size. I usually use 3000px in width and height. (And I start with the Pattern Perfect Template, which is free for Pattern Rebel members).
Draw strokes in different colors with the Monoline brush.
Step 2: Make the gradient
Use the adjustments tool in Procreate to blend the strokes and create a gradient.
Step 3: Add clouds
Use the Clouds brush to add motifs on your sunset.
Step 4: Create the pattern
Finally flip the edges of your pattern tile to the center both horizontally and vertically and adjust the gradient so that the pattern become seamless.
Step 6: Test the Pattern:
Copy you canvas + paste it so that you’ll get a flattened image of your pattern tile.
Test your pattern tile in my free Pattern Tester here on my website.
