In the May 2026 creative project, we are doing the following pattern design activities in Procreate:

• a tossed pattern (full drop)

• a striped pattern (full drop)

• a diamond layout pattern (full drop), and

• a half drop pattern

In this tutorial, we are making a half drop pattern together using just brush strokes.
