  • I make almost all of my patterns in Procreate and then put them together in Photoshop. I LOVE using soft textured brushes in Procreate. Cool to draw lines with and get those lovely rough edges, but not so much fun for filling in, right?

  • Now that is out of the way, let's start by acknowledging this truth. "The Algorithm" is not a physical thing. It's not a person or sentient being who sits in an office, looking at our posts, grading them out of ten.
