Hi Mel, Thanks for this tutorial. I was able to make a brush without using the dual brush setting because I didn't have one small enough to add. However, in the end the result was so nice. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this tutorial, Mel! May I ask you to create one in Illustrator for those who don't use Procreate and Photoshop? Thank you very much!
Great tutorial, Mel, thanks! I wondered if you knew of a way of isolating which layers are applied to the blend mode. For instance if I have a pattern and I want to add a texture but also a colored background but I don’t want the colored background to get applied to the blend mode.
You can do this by using groups. So group all the layers of your pattern (not the background) and apply the blending mode to that group. The background will be isolated and won't have the blend mode applied. I hope that makes sense.
@@melarmstrong7988 do I need to apply a layer mask to the texture layer to prevent it from being visible on the transparent part of the pattern layer? I was hoping there was an option I could check to just affect the opaque portions
I like how the transparent linen texture changes color as it is laid over the colors below it. (e.g. it become a darker pink over the pink, a darker teal over the teal, etc.) Is it possible to get this same look in a vector format?)
I haven't been very successful in creating a brush that will do this in Illustrator like I do it in Photoshop, but you can do it using filters. I will be doing a tutorial on how to do that.
It's really up to you and also what you're printing it on. You may not want this texture if you're printing on Linen fabric for example. But I use it in a lot of my designs and it prints well on a lot of fabric and art prints.

Thank you for sharing, Mel. Could you please let me know how to create this linen texture if my artboard is a rectangle instead of a square?
That was so interesting. I'll be giving that a go. Thanks.
Fabulous Peta!
Thank you so much for sharing how to do this! You really make learning new techniques easy! Can’t wait to try this!
Oh...thanks for your lovely comment! Have fun trying this technique.
Cool Mel, thanks sharing this technique
You’re welcome! So glad it’s helpful for you!
Very interesting tutorial Mel. Thank you so so much. I also would use the brush in clear mode to homogenize a bit the dark areas. What do you think?
Thank you so much! I was really admiring this effect
Awesome! So glad it was helpful.
Great tips Mel; thank you.

@@MelArmstrong Wonderful! Thank you so much!
@@MelArmstrong Do you have an illustrator video showing a similar effect yet please?
brilliant! I have a question Mel: Do we need to remove the texture when send to print?Or it will print double texture?
It's really up to you and also what you're printing it on. You may not want this texture if you're printing on Linen fabric for example. But I use it in a lot of my designs and it prints well on a lot of fabric and art prints.
@@MelArmstrong Got it, thank you so much for sharing this, Mel!!! So excited to try this
Can you create this brush in Procreate?
Yes, you can. Tutorial in the works!! 😀
That would be greatly appreciated Mel! Love you videos can I send you my first attempt at a pattern😀
