In this class, Charming Pansy Brushes for Creating Sweet Illustrator Patterns, you will be guided step-by-step through the process of producing a sweet repeating pansy pattern design.

We will travel from initial brush creation and composition of the design, to creation of the final pattern tile. In this class, you will learn how to thoroughly use the potential of Adobe Illustrator custom brushes. My methods will wield many petals from the initial one you create. These petals can be employed in creating contrasting and co-ordinating flowers, and it will look like you created so many! These brushes are can then be added to your assets libraries: they can be added to other brush sets in the future, and you can use them to make heaps of designs down the line! Using these charming brushes in organized layers, you can see the pattern design emerge magically!
This Charming Pansy Brush class is made-to-measure for designers with some knowledge of Adobe Illustrator and who want to learn additional techniques, though basic brush construction is reinforced. For those wanting detailed introductory lessons or a refresher first, please check out my earlier classes such as Fake a Watercolor, Part 1, or Textural Floral Pattern Design. My last class, Extraordinary Brushes, is also chock full of brush construction information.
My ultimate goal with the classes I teach is to build true proficiency. For this class, you will need the Illustrator software, or similar programs which offer the same capabilities. I'm eager to help you on your quest for true Illustrator literacy, so let's get started!
The verbal guidance and demonstrations will help you learn all the necessary foundational skills that can be applied to so many of the designs you have in the offing. Whether you are a novice surface pattern artist or illustrator, or an accomplished and experienced designer, you are sure to learn techniques that are unfamiliar!
The beauty of this course is you can pick JUST the lessons you need, so you can skip concepts you have learned previously. In this class we will go through specific concepts in 10 lessons that cover:
Using brushes in Illustrator for creating even more complex art brushes.
Creating a pattern tile in Illustrator and ensuring the repeat works.
Working with tools in a unique way: the eraser tool, the blob brush, the knife tool, and the pathfinder palette
