CreativePro Week Sneak Peek: Fill a Shape with Itself as a Pattern in Illustrator
Learn a super quick way to fill a shape with a repeating pattern of the shape itself in Illustrator and see how easy it is to update that pattern.
In this CreativePro Week sneak peek video, Dave Clayton demos a quick way to fill a shape with a repeating pattern of the shape itself. Using the Phantasm plug-in from Astute Graphics, he has complete control over the size, angle, and layout of the pattern and is able to easily apply it to other shapes as well as easily update it.
This video is a sneak peek of Dave’s CreativePro Week 2023 sessions. See the full agenda and register for the conference—both in-person in Phoenix, Arizona and online—at CreativeProWeek.com.
