Free patterns! and Would a Poll be Fun?

 

Hi Everyone,

It has been awhile since I posted the link to the handful of patterns I have. They are FREE for personal and commercial use. Cool Beans!

There is a chevron, a "skip" chevron,  squares, scatter dots as well as the patterns above that I just uploaded to the 'download' page. (Blogger isn't set up for downloads).

SHOUT OUT to my son (graphic designer for Big Frog Custom T-shirts and More). He is the creator of the sweater pattern. :-D

Feel free to convert these to your program of choice, scale them etc.

Poll Questions: 

I am thinking it might be fun to have a poll on the blog. Are there any questions you would like to see in the poll? Example:
Do you have more than one job?
Do you have multiple streams of income for your art?
Do you hire help with bookkeeping/taxes?
Do you paint out of the tube?
What time of day are you the most creative?
Do you consider chocolate as a food group? - I do <3

FREE Photoshop seamless patterns!

Free for commercial and personal use - Have fun!

Hey everybody, I got this idea to share a few seamless patterns of mine from the cool people on the Art Licensing Network Facebook group :-) Who doesn't love FREE and no strings attached! Woop!

Okay. Here is the link to the patterns above. The files are 5"x5 ",  300 dpi, Photoshop CS6.
CLICK HERE to go to the download page.

How to use:
In Photoshop open up one of the patterns you just downloaded.

Go to the menu bar, click EDIT: scoll to DEFINE PATTERN, click OK.

Now, open a new file in Photoshop. To keep it easy, make it 10" x10" at 300 dpi.

Let's fill it with the pattern you just defined!

Go to the menu bar, click EDIT: scroll to FILL...
In the dialogue box that opens (see image below) choose PATTERN in the drop down menu
in the Custom Pattern option - choose the new pattern you just defined, click OK!

TaDa! It filled your space with the pattern - Cool Beans!

Play with the size to fill and the resolution to see how that affects your results. You can also play with the other options in the dialogue box above and see what they do :-)

You can create your own custom patterns in any square size you like.

Would you rather see a video on how to do this? Here is the link - you can google more.
