This is my first repeat pattern on Procreate, even though I learned it on Adobe Illustrator with Bonnie Christine. Designing has become easier. Thank you.

I've watched so many of these, and your tutorial is by far the best! Thank you! I have practiced along with it a few times, and I finally feel like I have a good handle on the process!

[marypoppins]

You’re the best teacher ever! Only because of your video I managed to finally understand and even to make my first pattern. It was really hard to me with all of those functions like layers, flatten, copy, etc. But you perfectly in details explains how to do those things that eventually I finally did it! Thank you!

I tried this a while ago and couldn't get it to work. Opened it again today, realized what my issue was, and so I was able to complete it successfully. So exciting! Thank you!! :)

Ok I figured out that if I add two tiny little marks at the corners of the canvas, so bottom left and top right. The select tool recognises the whole canvas and selects it all, not just the drawing in the middle. Just in case this issue crops up for anyone else. Thanks again Mel for the tutorial x

[aastrom]

you lost me at some pont. So many layers without names is confusing. And at some point you forgot to say what you did and I will just try agin and again😉 Rewind is the solution.

[lyndadiamond]

Hi Great Video but I am getting lost when you are grouping the different layers together. You are doing it soooo fast that I am not seeing exactly what you are doing. Thanks, Procreate newbie!

[LittlePinn]

Thank you so much, you are the best teacher because I can understand easily.
