This is Part 1 in my series about the creation and application of a Succulents Repeat Pattern Collection. In this video, I will show you how to create vector elements for succulents repeat pattern collection in Adobe Illustrator CC 2015. You will learn in this tutorial How To Draw Vector Succulents For Repeat Pattern Collection in Adobe Illustrator.

Let's begin!

Step 1: Research on Pinterest. Find photos of succulent plants in pots(pinterest.com/oksancia/pins/) I show you how to research pattern ideas on Pinterest.

Step 2: Rough sketches of succulents and their pots directly in vector in Adobe Illustrator CC using my Wacom Intuos 4 (wacom.com/en-es/products/pen-tablets/intuos-pro) tablet and a pen. I show here how to draw succulents plants in Adobe Illustrator

Step 3: Line art - creating outlines and details of the succulents and pots based on my sketches using Blob Brush and Brush tools. I expand the line art and merge the shapes for coloring.

Step 4: I fill the background shape of each succulent plant with a different color using a color palette I chose inspired by natural colors of the succulents: blues and greens. I then add some highlights and shadows to the elements.

Step 5: I create the pots and embellish them with some simple doodle tribal geometric-inspired patterns.

Done! :) Our elements are ready to play and be used in the main repeat and a few coordinating repeats which I will show in Part 2 and Part 3 of this series, so stay tuned.
