Backgrounds can make or break a pattern 👀
In Day 8 of 20 Days of Procreate Play, Maja Faber shows how to add subtle, seamless background textures that elevate pattern design and illustration without distracting from your motifs.

You’ll learn how to:

Add texture that enhances (not overpowers) your design

Create repeatable background textures in Procreate

Duplicate and align texture layers for seamless repeats

Fix visible seams using brushes and erasers

Test your pattern repeat like a pro

This lesson is ideal for illustrators, surface designers, and anyone who wants their patterns to feel more polished and intentional.
