Create a Christmas Mini Pattern Collection in Procreate + Sell on Print on Demand

via Skillshare

Overview

Coursera Plus Monthly Sale: All Certificates & Courses 40% Off!

In this class you will learn how to create a mini pattern collection with a Christmas theme in Procreate, and sell it on the Print on Demand sites Spoonflower and Society6.

We’ll practice on finding inspiration on a specific theme, and how to work with colors to make your mini-collection look cohesive.

When we’ve created our collections I will show you how to export your files to upload on Print-on-Demand sites such as Society6 and Spoonflower. I’ll share my uploading process and how to work with things like scale of the pattern and keywords when you add the artwork to your shop.

As a bonus in this class I’ve included 1 free Procreate crayon brush and 1 free Procreate color palette with Christmas colors, so that you can use the same colors as me if you wish. Watch the lesson called Download to learn how to download and install the free resources.

This is a fun and creative class which is perfect for you who want to practice on a Christmas design project, and for you who want to learn about how to create mini pattern collections for Print-on-Demand sites. You need some basic understanding of how to use Procreate to take this class, and you probably have made at least a few patterns before you watch this class. If you never made a pattern in Procreate before, I recommend to watch my class about creating an editable pattern in Procreate with color variations, and how to create a half-drop pattern in Procreate, before watching this class.
