Wow thanks a lot, I was looking for something just like this for a project that I am currently working on.
Very strange. I downloaded the file and opened it in Illustrator CS3, but nothing appears. Got any ideas what I’m doing wrong?
Hi KJ – just check your swatches palette after opening the file. That’s were they are located. Thx.
Oh sweet! Thank you!
I was looking for a collection like this awhile back..but I never found anything good. They always seemed to not create good patterns, or look incredibly fake and unattractive. This is perfect, thanks a lot! :)
lovely patterns. Thanks
They look useful, great work :)
sweet!
So, are we going to see a tutorial on how to make these wonderful patterns anytime soon? (please, please ;) )
Because patterns and pattern-brushes is one of the things that’s allways made me think “Oh my, that’s just too complicated”.
And the patterns are just wonderful (especially the loepard-ones!)
Hey KJ. Glad you asked the question about where the textures were.
I wish I’d scrolled down instead of wasting half an hour puzzling over a blank illustrator document! ;-)
No animals were harmed in the making of this tutorial.
lovely patterns. Thanks
