ABOUT THIS VIDEO
In todays video, I explain my process for creating seamless pattern tiles in procreate. This is a really handy graphic design technique.

How do you paint watercolor in procreate?
By combining some special brushes and a watercolor paper texture, we can paint in this watercolor style. All the brushes, textures, and materials are linked below. They all come with video instruction on how to use them, so it's something your can use even if you are totally new to Procreate.

PRINT YOUR ARTWORK:
Here's the printer I use:
I prefer this one because it's just so easy to get amazing colors and rich, textured shading. This printer is not suitable for printing tiny stuff, like postage stamp size, because it's only going to do 150dpi. That's good enough for a greeting card or anything larger (I prefer to print larger stuff anyways).

Calvin, your technical videos are never boring, but loaded with great information! Thank you for doing all the hard background work and then explaining it so clearly.

[wonderwonder]

This tutorial was not boring at all! Love the longer more complicated videos, pushes me to learn something I wouldn’t have otherwise. Thank you!

[sillywilky]

i really learn a lot from you lastnight i painted my very own monstera plant and i am amazed with the outcome i played a bit with your free brushes.. its just wow! thank you so much❤️❤️❤️

[fdohqom]

this is the BEST seamless pattern tutorial I have seen. Thank you 😊

[Nikopup]

Wow! Thank you so much for this video! I’ve been struggling to make seamless repeat patterns on procreate that don’t include tiny white lines. Getting the images cut on the edges and having them come together perfectly with the other side when repeated is also a huge struggle. So this video covers both of those issues! Thank you! Btw I just bought the template along with some other items in your shop! ❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you for this tutorial. I am a beginner with procreate and also with photoshop. I have pretty much figured out how to do it. I'm going to practice to try to do what you did and understand how it works.

Thank you so much for your approach to repeat patterns. I always did mine with marks in each corner to trick the bounding box but some designs don't lend themselves to that. I tried doing a white box and then clearing it but that doesn't work. Your solution with the 1% white is PERFECT.

Fluent and very informative presentation. Thx a lot.

Wonderful tutorial, thank you so much 🙏🏻

[arianedebeukelaer]

Everything is just so clear when you explain it!
I would like to know if you could make a sangria (or any drink) in a pitcher? I'm having a hard time recreating glass bottles in digital watercolor

Hey Calvin! Thanks for this tutorial! Can you please make a tutorial on how to softproof the artwork? Can you tell us how you softproof artwork before printing? That'll be really helpful. 🙏🏻 And if you can do a tutorial of softproofing in affinity photo? As many people teach about Photoshop but none for affinity photo! Thanks from a fan! 🙏🏻😊👍🏻

How do I create visually-pleasing backgrounds? Plain color as background sometimes looks a bit plain to me personally...

[anthonytibbings]

Thank you so much Calvin for this tutorial. I'll buy the seamless background.
One more thing... is there any way to export artwork in PNG. Without any background, a transparent artwork for printing on Tshirt?

Hi, Calvin， can you help me how to get the quick pine tree brush kit?

[jeanblaaa]

How many times do you repeat the background in illustrator for the pattern? Also do we just repeat left then down?
