The Patternologist

I’m Dawn, a surface pattern designer & lecturer creating real, hand-drawn digital brushes and pattern projects for Procreate on the iPad.

This channel is for surface pattern, textile and illustration designers who want their digital work to feel more like real art, lino prints, gouache, watercolour, pencil, ink and other hand-made media.

I share my full workflow:
• Using Procreate brushes that mimic traditional tools
• Repeat patterns for fabric, wallpaper...
• creating colour palettes inspired by nature & arts & crafts
• Seamless repeat and print-ready tiles

I’m also building Patternologie Studio, a mobile pattern design app for creating seamless repeats anywhere – What I share here are part of that wider toolkit.

Digital art has given me the freedom to create wherever inspires me, and I’m excited to share that process with you. 🌿

Subscribe and join me in exploring the sweet spot between traditional, hand-made marks and digital pattern design. 💚
