Hello there!

I have been asked several times how I added patterns to my art, so I decided I would make a tutorial for it. The process itself is very simple and many of you may know about it already, but if anything in this tutorial helps somehow, then that is great.

This tutorial covers:

 the basics of creating patterns from an image
 how to apply patterns
 creating clipping masks 
 managing patterns
 fading patterns
 graduating pattern colours

Here's the artwork shown in the tutorial:

Poki-art In reply to ??? [2015-11-26 12:00:19 +0000 UTC]

what an amazing tutorial, thanks a lot! btw, tell me, is it just me? when i look at patterns like these, where i have dots close to each other, darker than the background, they flash in my eyes and my eyes feel like burning, and sometimes when the pattern is 'heavy' with the contrast and in certain size and spaces, my eyes 'explode' literally, last time it happned when i felt sharp pain while looking at them, some veins actually popped in my eyeballs ._. (it was when i was looking at high resolution screentones, and zooming them in, at osme point they were in certain size that was the most painful, thus causing the veins to pop. ;_; )

Thank you very much!!
Haha, I know exactly what you mean!! The same thing happens to me sometimes when I look at certain patterns. 
I guess the important thing is to use patterns appropriately!
