Pattern Brushes offer a unique way of easily adding a finishing touch to your designs. Essentially, they can create a frame for your artwork that is fully adjustable, without skewing the shape or contours of the frame.<br \/>\nCreating a pattern brush is fun! It&#8217;s a bit like completing a puzzle- except you get to create the puzzle from scratch as well. Here&#8217;s a fun tutorial with steps, guidelines, and tips for creating your own unique pattern brush in Illustrator.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_You_Need\"><\/span>What You Need:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Adobe Illustrator (I&#8217;m using CS6, but this works in any version that supports pattern brushes)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pattern_Brush_Guidelines\"><\/span>Pattern Brush Guidelines<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-17537\" src=\"https:\/\/d3ui957tjb5bqd.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2014\/10\/29003025\/Corner-Elements.png.webp\" alt=\"Corner-Elements\" width=\"680\" height=\"340\"><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>There are 5 tiles: a) side tile, b) inner corner tile, c) outer corner tile, d) start&Acirc;&nbsp;tile, and e) end tile. (The two corner tiles often use the same design but can be different.)<\/li>\n<li>The corner tile must be square.<\/li>\n<li>The height of the rest of the tiles must be equal to the height of the corner tile.<\/li>\n<li>Flatten artwork in each tile before compiling the brush.<\/li>\n<li>Gradients, styles, masked objects, and other brushes cannot be used within a pattern brush. If a gradient effect is desired, blends can be used instead.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tips_for_Success\"><\/span>Tips for Success:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Use guides and smart guides to line tile artwork up precisely.<\/li>\n<li>Create unfilled bounding boxes for each tile to control the placement of the tile in the pattern.<\/li>\n<li>Stay simple: Simple paths and shapes will render best and fastest when used as a pattern.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Process\"><\/span>Process:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Draw_the_Side_Tile\"><\/span>1.

As I draw the elements of the tile, I also create guides on either side of the tile. After I&#8217;m satisfied with the tile, I&#8217;ll group the elements together and repeat it on either side just to make sure the tiles are completely seamless.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-17539\" src=\"https:\/\/d3ui957tjb5bqd.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2014\/10\/29003038\/Pattern2.png.webp\" alt=\"Pattern2\" width=\"680\" height=\"135\">\n<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Draw_the_End_Tiles\"><\/span>2. Draw the End Tiles<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>\nAs it happens, the two extra side tiles on either side&Acirc;&nbsp;are perfectly placed to create my beginning and end tiles. I&#8217;m just going to alter the design slightly and add a few simple shapes to create these tiles. Again, I&#8217;ll draw guides on either side. These will be used later.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-17540\" src=\"https:\/\/d3ui957tjb5bqd.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2014\/10\/29003047\/Pattern3.png.webp\" alt=\"Pattern3\" width=\"680\" height=\"152\">\n<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Draw_the_Corner_Tiles\"><\/span>3. Draw the Corner Tile(s)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>\nThe corner tiles are&Acirc;&nbsp;the trickiest to create, but they&Acirc;&nbsp;provide the anchor of the pattern and often carry the style of the entire pattern. As such, it&#8217;s important to get them&Acirc;&nbsp;right. There are two corner tiles, an outer corner and an inner corner. For this tutorial, I&#8217;ll be using the same design for both corner tiles. To start, I&#8217;ll just duplicate my side tile elsewhere on the artboard (using the shift key to keep it due east or west of the other tiles.) To the left is room to create the corner tile.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-17541\" src=\"https:\/\/d3ui957tjb5bqd.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2014\/10\/29003054\/Pattern4.png.webp\" alt=\"Pattern4\" width=\"680\" height=\"183\"><br \/>\nI&#8217;d like to make my corner design symmetrical, which I can reflect over the 45 degree&Acirc;&nbsp;axis of my intended corner area. After I&#8217;ve created&Acirc;&nbsp;one side of&Acirc;&nbsp;my corner design, I&#8217;ll group it together, then right click &gt; Transform &gt; Reflect &gt; -45 degrees and click copy.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-17542\" src=\"https:\/\/d3ui957tjb5bqd.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2014\/10\/29003101\/Pattern5.png.webp\" alt=\"Pattern5\" width=\"680\" height=\"302\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-17543\" src=\"https:\/\/d3ui957tjb5bqd.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2014\/10\/29003109\/Pattern6.png.webp\" alt=\"Pattern6\" width=\"680\" height=\"476\"><br \/>\nCreate guides if necessary to help you line the tiles up and make the elements of the corner tile symmetrical. After cleaning up the design a little bit, my corner tile looks like this:<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-17548\" src=\"https:\/\/d3ui957tjb5bqd.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2014\/10\/29003117\/Pattern6a.png.webp\" alt=\"Pattern6a\" width=\"680\" height=\"525\">\n<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Flatten_Artwork_and_Clip_to_Borders\"><\/span>4. Flatten Artwork and Clip to Borders<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>\nIf you&#8217;ve used any stroked paths, graphic styles, art brushes, or other pattern brushes, it&#8217;s best to expand the effects&Acirc;&nbsp;now. (If you want, save the original source tiles in another Illustrator layer, and expand effects on a copy of the tiles.)<br \/>\nNext,&Acirc;&nbsp;draw an unfilled bounding box behind each of the tiles,&Acirc;&nbsp;group the elements of each tile (including the bounding box) together, and draw guides around all of the tiles.&Acirc;&nbsp;Drawing an unfilled bounding box around each tile helps line tiles up in the final pattern. Make sure the box is the bottom&Acirc;&nbsp;layer in each tile group. Make sure the artwork within the tile ends at the bounding box, and clip it as necessary.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-17544\" src=\"https:\/\/d3ui957tjb5bqd.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2014\/10\/29003125\/Pattern7.png.webp\" alt=\"Pattern7\" width=\"846\" height=\"505\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-17545\" src=\"https:\/\/d3ui957tjb5bqd.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2014\/10\/29003133\/Pattern8.png.webp\" alt=\"Pattern8\" width=\"846\" height=\"510\">\n<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Create_Swatches_From_Tiles\"><\/span>5.

To define each tile, first click on the tile, then click on the desired swatch to be applied to that tile.
