How to Stop Obvious Repeat Blocks Vine Pattern Flow Tutorial #ipadart
If your repeat seams are obvious, this draw-with-me will fix it. I’ll show you how to build vine patterns that flow across edges in Procreate, then ink, vectorize, and recolor so your designs look seamless on products and pages. We’ll map cross-edge paths, avoid straight-line tangents, run a quick 4-corners tile test, do a chunky sketch to preview real line weight, and finish with a vector-ready ink pass. 👇 Prefer a Written Guide?
