Day 13 of 20 Days of Procreate Play introduces a clever twist on half drop repeats, the Diamond Method.

Inspired by Rebecca Flaherty’s class "Easy Half Drop Patterns in Procreate: The Diamond Method", this workflow helps you build seamless half drop layouts using smart duplication, snapping, and precise edge alignment.

You’ll learn how to structure your tile so Procreate’s snapping works perfectly and how to test your repeat at multiple scales to ensure everything lines up cleanly.

✨ In today’s challenge, you’ll learn how to:

Build a half drop layout using the diamond structure

Draw only the essential tile sections

Use snapping + edge pixels to shift artwork precisely

Merge layers strategically without losing control

Test your repeat for seamless alignment
