Mastering Seamless Repeat Patterns in Adobe Illustrator

Dive into the art of crafting seamless repeat patterns in Adobe Illustrator with me! This tutorial takes you through my hands-on approach, focusing on the artboard to overcome the limitations of Pattern Mode. Discover how to size the pattern tile and effectively use the Eraser tool for manually creating repeats, ensuring more control and precision in your designs.

Starting from artwork drawn in Adobe Fresco and vector-traced in Illustrator, I'll guide you through laying out your pattern in Pattern Mode before moving to the artboard for detailed editing and perfecting your repeat. Perfect for those seeking alternative methods to Pattern Mode, join me in mastering the seamless integration of abstract art into repeat patterns.

This was a pretty complex tutorial, however, since I’ve watched lots of your other pattern making tutorials through your membership, it makes total sense! I will definitely need to refer back to it multiple times, but this was a great video!

Almost 20 min to make a seamless pattern - this is actually a great example, how outdated Illustrator and its workflow.
