What you'll learn
Learn step-by-step method for inking flowers with "see-through" interior lines.
Get tips for creating compositions for a new iteration of a pattern.
Learn the workflow for auto-tracing and creating the initial SVG file.
Learn about adjusting colors until satisfied with a color scheme and keeping it simple enough to edit later.
Requirements
Procreate experience is an asset; prerequisite of the other AD classes I teach in sequence
Description
About This ClassI am always trying to figure out ways to increase my productivity. It is absolutely necessary when you are a one-person operation and you need to keep cranking out content! While producing classes for the school, I am also keeping my toes dipped into the surface pattern design and illustration I do for art licensing.This class, Advanced Floral Pattern Design Raster to Vector, will show you some of my illustration and pattern design methodology, and an all new technique I am using to create inner lines on my motifs that show through to the background color. I want the inner lines to essentially be transparent. There is definitely more than one way to accomplish this, but I think I have figured out the fastest! In the class, I take you from start to finish in creating a full seamless repeat pattern, notably with the inner lines I have just described. I find it gives the over-all pattern consistency. With these techniques I will be able to save the pattern in another iteration. I make sure the pattern swatch we'll be creating is completely editable and colors can be changed easily. One of my goals is to show you how we'll be able to recolor it once the pattern is complete and add textures, which are two things I will do in follow-up classes.Many of the Affinity Designer skills you have already learned will be reinforced. Each time I do a pattern design class for Affinity Designer, new opportunities present themselves for teaching you new skills and efficiency strategies. And I try to always do things in a way that makes it fun and attainable.In this class I'll walk you through:my step-by-step method for inking flowers with "see-through" interior linestips for creating compositions for a new iteration of a patternmy workflow for auto-tracing and creating the initial SVG fileadjusting colors until satisfied with a color scheme and keeping it simple enough to edit latermethods for keeping the art fully editable for later adjustmentsThis is a real-world example of how a surface pattern designer works. Creating collections is imperative to being an artist whose work is saleable. With these pattern design classes, I am creating a continuum of learning that, once complete, will give you the skills necessary to pursue this as one of your possible divergent income streams.The key concepts I will include:review of pattern design methodology specific to Affinity Designerhow decisions are made with placement of motifs and color choices to produce a beautiful finished patternapproaches you can take moving forward with your surface pattern design careerThis class takes you from Procreate, to auto-tracing in the program of your choice, and into Affinity Designer for finishing. This workflow may be different for you if you use other software, but all the concepts are applicable for you in the future. If you've used Procreate and Affinity Designer before, you will feel comfortable with all the steps.Intro to Advanced Floral Pattern Design Raster to VectorThis short intro will give you an overview of the class.Lesson 1: lnking the Florals in ProcreateIn this lesson, I will show you my new method for inking florals with reversed-out lines. What we will end up with is a solid floral with clear outlines that show through to the background or anything underneath. I show you how I increased my productivity and accuracy and explain the technique in detail. The flower will now be ready for tracing in your favorite vectorizer. I will be using Adobe Illustrator on the iPad.Lesson 2: Auto Tracing in Adobe Illustrator for iPadIn this lesson, I will break down the complete process of choosing what brushes to use as well as showing you how to do a quick sketch of flower shapes. After completing the flower inking, I import into Adobe Illustrator to do the auto-tracing. I explain all the settings of the auto-trace function.Lesson 3: Importing the SVG FileIn this lesson, I will be showing you the importing of the SVG file and the set up for the rest of the pattern.Lesson 4: Creating an Alternate Color SchemeThis is the lesson in which I teach you about creating a new color scheme and an alternate color category for swatches. I show you how to import an image and sample colors from it. I go through an initial coloring of the pattern and make a few adjustments along the way.Lesson 5: Filling Out and ArrangingIn this lesson, we start getting to the nitty gritty of the final artwork. I will be finalizing all the leaves and that will include creating a mask to get rid of unwanted details peeking through the flowers. We are one step closer to finalizing our design now.Lesson 6: Correcting and Intricate FittingWe are getting to the point of really seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. In this lesson, I do procedures like extracting a set of leaves or buds from one location and retrofitting it to work in another location. I continue adjusting the layout and even make some more changes with the color.Lesson 7: Adjusting Pattern ComponentsAdding all the finishing touches is the focus of this lesson. I will be adding all the background textures into the piece and then further enhancing all the foreground items with a combination of the color mop brushes as well as textures such as spatters.Lesson 8: Finishing Touches Before CompletionWe will conclude everything in this lesson. This lesson shows you the additional steps I take to make the artwork more dimensional. I speak to the color swatch selection, explaining the importance of keeping the number of colors to a reasonable amount.Lesson 9: Conclusion and Wrap UpI show you a couple of quick mock-ups with the pattern and we end with a chat about next steps.Concepts covered:Concepts covered include but are not limited to Procreate inking techniques, Amaziograph inking methods, arrangement of motifs into a pattern, adjusting motifs, scatter brushes, how pressure can affect a brush, stamp brushes, and much more.You will get.1 hour and 20 minutes of direction from an instructor who has been in graphic design business and education for over 40 yearsknowledge of multiple ways to solve each design challengean outline which you can print and add to your course binderProject DescriptionIf possible, photograph a bunch of flowers you which you wish to base your pattern on. If that is not possible, collect a few pics from a royalty free supplier like unSplash or Pexels. You will be making plenty of changes to these photos. Start with a rough sketch in Procreate. Follow my instructions for the inking, using white for any of the lines you want to have "see-through". Now carry through with the auto-tracing of each layer or flower and export as an SVG file. If the software or service you use doesn't allow for layered files, output each layer as a separate jpeg or png and individually trace these. Once you have all the SVG's necessary, open and compile them in Affinity Designer. Follow all the lessons to make as attractive a pattern as possible! Have fun at this stage. It is like solving a puzzle!
