How to draw the seamless pattern - my first attempt.

avatar

Seamless patterns are very useful for a graphic designer. You can multiply them endlessly, creating backgrounds or overprints on large surfaces. And even if some elements touch the section's edges, you cannot see the connection between them. I often use them in my commercial works, but I buy them on Shutterstock. My work goes faster then, and it's cheaper for the client.

Today I created such a pattern for the first time - to prove myself. It wasn't easy (especially when I had to match all the edges to each other), but I'm satisfied :)

Here is my pattern; for now, it's hard to guess if it's seamless:

Let's check how it works!

I combined the four sections; the edges match perfectly 🙂

Pattern with inverse colors.

Initially, I wanted to show you the progress of the work step by step, but I was too focused on the result. Maybe next time I'll be less stressed.

Seemless patterns make great backgrounds for web sites. Are you planning on selling it as a stockimage? If so, where?

You're right; they are also suitable for websites. I don't plan to sell the patterns so far, but I never say never. Who knows :)
