SkillShare – Digital Canvas Effects for Surface Pattern Design
English | Tutorial | Size: 916 MB

You will be learning how to create your own watercolour paper and canvas texture overlays from scratch to add dimension and texture to your artworks.

I will teach you how to capture and process different textures and then use different blend modes to achieve a subtle textured look in your work. I’ll also demonstrate how to make these textures seamless in order to apply them to any size of image and be able to use them in surface pattern design projects.

This is an intermediate level class for people who are already familiar with the basics of photoshop and are ready to learn some new skills and techniques.

By the end of this class you’ll be able to get started photographing and painting your own watercolour and canvas textures to use in your surface patterns and illustrations.

You can use what you learn in this class to breathe new life and texture into your existing designs. If you’re a fan of digital watercolour and use apps like Procreate, then this will really elevate and make your illustrations look even more authentic.

Creating your own textures to use is much better than buying ready made assets for lots of reasons. First off, it’ll save you money as you don’t have to buy them in the first place and because you own them, there’s no limit to the amount of designs or end products for sale that you can use them which sometimes applies to digital assets. Secondly, by creating your own textures and paint effects, they will be totally unique to you so your work will have it’s own personality and signature look.

You will need textured watercolour paper or canvas for photographing, watercolour paint and a brush, a DSLR or good smartphone camera, and a desktop computer running Photoshop and gimp 2.10.

However, the class is broken down into 2 paths, so if you don’t have access to paints or a scanner, you can skip the optional watercolour texture steps and just create the canvas textures on their own.
