Hello! I'm Cristina from Elan Creative Co and in this tutorial I'm going to
show you how to turn hand-drawn lines into seamless striped patterns. I drew
these lines using brush markers, then I scanned them. I will also have to vectorize
them before I can use them. This tutorial works for any type of lines so you can
also draw them using the Illustrator brush tools or you can use any other
kind of lines. So let's vectorize them! Find the image trace on the toolbar.
Click the arrow next to it and then select black and white logo.
This will vectorize your lines. Now click on the image trace menu. You can click on
this icon or go to Window > Image Trace, click on Advanced and then click on
Ignore White. This will remove the white background. Now if you want, you can play
with the settings. I will probably increase the number of paths. I think
this looks better. If you want to learn more about vectorizing your artwork, I am
going to link to a tutorial in the video description. Now close the image trace
menu and click on Expand. Now you have vector lines. I want to make sure that
the lines are straight. They look pretty straight but they might not be so I'm
going to go to View > Rulers > Show Rulers. Then I'm going to click on the top ruler
and drag a guide. This will help me straighten the lines. Then I'm going to
right-click on the lines and Ungroup them. So let's move them up here and then
I am going to take each line and
straighten it a bit. Now I'm going to move this over here. I'm going to do the
same for all the lines.
When you are done, go to View > Guides > Hide Guides. This will remove the guide. I'm
also going to use the artboard as a guide to create a pattern. Now my lines
are longer than the artboard but I want the upper and lower lines to still be
inside the artboard. So I'm going to move each one. I don't really like how
this line looks so I'm going to delete this. When you are happy with the way
your pattern looks, select all the lines and press Ctrl + G to group them. Another
thing I like to do is to crop everything that's outside the artboard. So I'm going
to use the Rectangle tool to create a rectangle that's the same size as the
artboard. Mine is 6 by 6 inches and I'm going to align it to the artboard. I'm
going to select everything and then I'm going to go to the Pathfinder menu. So go
to Window > Pathfinder and click on crop. Next we are going to use the Pattern
making tool to create our pattern. Go to Object > Pattern > Make to open the Pattern
menu. Your new pattern will appear in the Swatches panel. Let's maybe, let's change
the color. I'm going to select all the lines and let's pick another color. What
you can see here with the darker color is the main pattern, and as you can see,
the intersections don't look very good so your pattern is not seamless. The
Pattern tool only works in Illustrator cs5 and newer. If you are using older
versions of Illustrator you will have to use the manual method, but the next step is
the same no matter what method you use. So we are going to edit this place where the
lines intersect and we are going to make them seamless.
So zoom in to see them better. So you'll only have to edit one side of the
pattern. Once you do this, the other side will also be seamless. You can use many
tools for this, like the pencil tool or the brush tool, but I feel that it's
easier to use the Direct Selection tool and change each anchor point. So click on
the line to select it, then click on the anchor point you want to change, and then
just drag it until it intersects with the other line. Now do the same for the
other anchor points. You might also have to move a few anchor points along the
line to make it look seamless. Let's zoom out and see how it looks. If you look
over here, it actually looks really good and it still has that hand-drawn look. So
let's do the same thing for the next line. So I'm going to click on it and
move it over here, and I'm going to do the same for the bottom one. And let's
also move these anchor points. If you want you can also remove some of the
anchor points using the Delete Anchor Point tool.
The shortcut is - So just click on it to delete it. I think it looks good so I'm
going to do the same for all the other lines.
If you want to make the lines straight, you can use the Smooth tool, it's under
the Sharper tool. So make sure you select the line and then click on the Smooth
tool and just use it on the line. Also, when you use the Smooth tool make sure
you don't use it over here because it might make this a bit rounder and it
won't look good. The pattern is now seamless. If you want, you can make some
of this lines straighter, but I actually like the hand-drawn feel so I am not
going to edit them. To save your pattern click Done. It will now appear in the
Swatches panel. So I'm going to delete this and let's create a seamless pattern
tile. To do that double click on your pattern and then look at the width and
height of your pattern. Then close this, and using the rectangle tool, create a
rectangle that's the same size as your pattern. Mine is 6 by 6 inches just like my
artboard. Then click OK. So let's align it to the artboard. If you want to test it
or create a larger seamless pattern, you can use the Move tool. So click on your
pattern, then go to Object > Transform > Move, and for the horizontal you will have to
enter the width of your pattern, and for the vertical you will have to enter 0.
Then click on Copy. Now I'm going to move this again to the left side, so I'm going
to press on Ctrl + Shift + M to open the move tool, and for the horizontal I'm just
going to enter - in front to move it to the left side, and then click on Copy.
Let's select the 3 of them and create a copy. So open the Move tool again by
clicking on Ctrl + Shift + M, for the horizontal I'm going to enter 0 and for
the vertical I'm going to enter the height of my pattern. Let's make it
6. Then click on Copy. So as you can see, this pattern is seamless and it looks
great. If you want to make changes to it, just go back to the Pattern options, and
you can select each line, and let's change the color. You can make it pink or
let's make it this mustard. If you want to add a background to the pattern,
select the color you want to use and then with the Rectangle tool create a
rectangle that's the same size as the pattern tile. Then go to Arrange and send
it to the back. To save a copy of your pattern click on Save a Copy. You can
rename the pattern if you want and click OK, then click on Cancel to exit the
pattern options. You can see the new pattern is here in the swatches panel so
let's test it. And it looks great! If you see this line, it's not because the
pattern is not seamless, it has to do with your screen. You can use the pattern
options to create all sorts of patterns. So let's go in again and let's create a
vertical pattern. So I'm going to select everything and lets you group it to make
this easier, and then right click on it. Go to Transform and Rotate and enter the
angle 90 degrees to make a vertical pattern. Then click OK.
Let's also recolor this one and then click on Save a Copy. Then click on
Cancel to exit the pattern options. So let's select everything again and
test our vertical pattern. This also looks great! Hope you've enjoyed this
