Video Training / Drawing and Painting Art Tutorials →Create Repeating Surface Patterns from Gradient Meshes in Adobe Illustrator

As you might know from my other classes, I love pushing the boundaries of Adobe Illustrator's tools for creating gradient designs and I am a huge fan of abstract artworks and patterns! And in this step-by-step class, I am excited to share with you a technique for creating seamlessly repeatable patterns using distorted gradient meshes in Adobe Illustrator!
In this class, you will learn:
how to set up, manipulate and color Gradient Meshes in Adobe Illustrator to ensure seamless repetition;how to create basic grid repeats using your distorted Gradient Meshes;how to use the Shear tool to create more dynamic grid repeats;how to create half-drop and half-brick pattern variants;how to create pattern iterations by changing the aspect ratios of the tiles;how to set up a custom shortcut for the Pattern Make tool;how to export pattern tiles in a raster format and avoid annoying thin lines around the pattern tiles.
