How to become a Surface Pattern Designer?

Have you wondered how can you be a Surface Pattern Designer? Yes, you read it right! I am talking about you! You are creative! You just need to know how to make marks/doodles which I believe everyone can do! You just need consistency in designing patterns digitally and opt-out of your own category where you want to sell out your patterns as a designer. Stock websites, commission-based, print-on-demand sites, licensing, or wholesale! Industry-standard software to design patterns is Adobe Illustrator most of the time. But at the same time, designers use Adobe Photoshop too! Since iPad Pro with Apple pencil has been a game-changer, designers also use Procreate and Adobe Fresco, both offers amazing digital brushes! Some use hands-on tools also to make patterns non digitally like from linocut, rubber, foam stamps! A Surface pattern designer is her / his own boss. He/ she can create diverse streams of revenue at one time! That’s the beauty of being a creative entrepreneur!
