Create a Symmetric Diamond Pattern in Procreate: Patterns Are Forever

In this class, we’ll create a symmetric diamond pattern in Procreate using full drop custom actions. We’re going to explore what makes a good symmetric diamond pattern, how we can plan it out by starting from very simple templates and then make it rich by adding different elements, colors, and details to it. Also, to turn our illustration into a perfect repeating swatch in Procreate, we’ll use custom actions.

The best way to describe this process is that it’s captivating and fun, plus the results are just mesmerizing. These types of patterns are very versatile so you can print them on fabric, gift wrap, wallpaper, or on stationery products. For example, journals and notebooks look very elegant and effective with these designs. And one of my symmetric diamond patterns actually ended up as a cover for this year’s Surface Pattern Design Guide in the Uppercase magazine.

This class is for intermediate levels, so before taking it you should already have a basic knowledge of Procreate. And by the end of this class, you’ll have a new set of skills when it comes to planning and creating symmetric diamond patterns in Procreate and a new beautiful portfolio piece.

So, if you’re ready, let’s get started!
