    Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I was actually fed up with everyone sharing using procreate for surface design. I think everyone started with the traditional way of painting and got obsessed with procreate. It's good to know there are people who like to stick to the traditional way of doing things in spite of all the technology available.

    I'm so glad you're focusing on the ART part of surface pattern design. (Yes there is a famous teacher who majored in business and who advertises to teach people, saying that they don't have to be able to draw to become a textile designer.)
    As an artist, I find your presentation refreshing!!

      I was taught the same thing and it perplexed me at first :) It can be positive because it makes surface pattern design more accessible. I do think, however, that since we're talking about visuals, art making skills do matter and can take it to the next level. I personally prefer well-drawn art 😄
      That teacher is definitely using the statement as a selling point. Imagine - "anybody can do it!!" Sounds so inclusive. Reality is a bit different.
      I don't think there's ANY job that absolutely anybody can do.
      Also, as a side note, I think experienced illustrators make the best patterns because they can draw anything at all. People, scenes - you name it! Skills!!

      Thank you for your kind words! I have super minimal experience with rugs. I don't know if you're interested in jobs as a weaver or a print/pattern designer. Normally, a collection should include a variety of patterns in different scale, a hero pattern, several coordinates, fillers and recolors. There might be some specifics for rugs in particular. A good place to start would be to look at how your dream companies approach collections :) Something like www.skcarpets.com/ - they have subdivision by topics in their collections (classical, contemporary, etc.)

    Really great information, thank you. Can you do a video on how to submit artwork to manufacturers to be printed on fabric? Not spoonflower, but an overseas manufacturer. I understand submitting vector files, but how to submit raster images and best practices.

    • @PatternTalentbyDaryaKarenski
      @PatternTalentbyDaryaKarenski  Год назад +2

      It really depends on the manufacturer. If they do screen printing, they most likely have a color limit. 12 printed colors maximum is a common standard. Then art needs to be reduced to those 12 colors. It's usually presented on a call out sheet with color chips and the repeat size along with a stepped out repeat. But it's best to ask the vendor directly what their requirements/possibilities are. Ask what their printing process is and how they like the files/physical printouts.

    • @PatternTalentbyDaryaKarenski
      @PatternTalentbyDaryaKarenski  Год назад +2

      @@jenniferr9585 if Pantones have to be called out, the art needs to be reduced in advanced textile software to a limited number of colors. Then Pantones can be picked accordingly.
      Again, I don't know the whole situation. In my experience, we never called out Pantones for vendors in complex art textiles (not to say it's a universal standard, just one of the options). But paper printouts were sent to the factory so that they could do exact matching physically - mixing dyes to match the printout - which was the end result of multiple tweaking and printing rounds. It was my experience in both of my textile workplaces.
      We had CAD specialists who reduced watercolor art to 12 colors in Pointcarre and Kaledo software. We also had one freelancer who did it in Photoshop index mode - which is unusual and impressive. I haven't personally reduced watercolor art to 12 colors, it would be hours if not days of work in Photoshop.
      In case of digital printing color reduction is not necessary.
      Again - many variables! Depends on what is needed and what isn't.
      I guess we do need a video about it :) I'll work on it.

    Hi Darya, thanks for sharing your knowledge, I subscribed to your channel.🙃 What I still don't really understand is how e.g. the pattern I designed in Illustrator is printed onto an actual fabric. I mean, how is the process? Do you search for a company that produces fabrics, or maybe even for a big copy shop? And do they first print on a roll of cloth or directly onto a shirt, bag, etc.? Thanks 🥰

    • @PatternTalentbyDaryaKarenski
      @PatternTalentbyDaryaKarenski  Год назад +5

      The repeat pattern file needs to be uploaded to a website that has a printing facility, for example Spoonflower or others. They have digital printing machines that are similar to printers that we use to print out documents, but giant in size and with inks suitable for fabric :) There are many variations to this process but that's the gist!
      Spoonflower prints fabric and wallpaper. Other companies (for example Redbubble) can print a single image directly on shirts, bags, etc. The machinery for this is different. You also start by uploading a file there. Hope it helps! Thank you for subscribing 🧡

      Procreate for iPad is really good software. What you do there you can then take later to Photoshop or Illustrator. I don't think Lightroom can be used for textile design, but knowing it will help you get the hang of Photoshop and Illustrator.

    I'm primarily interested in woven patterns. I know it's not your area, but would you happen to know if there are any 'industry standard' programs for weaving? So far, I've only played with drafting software, but it doesn't seem optimal for presenting information to non-weavers.

    • @PatternTalentbyDaryaKarenski
      @PatternTalentbyDaryaKarenski  Год назад +1

      From what I've personally encountered, Kaledo and Pointcarre both have weaving extensions! Pointcarre was on our college curriculum and those interested in weaving could study it deeper. www.pointcarre.com/weaving.html
      Kaledo was used on one of my jobs, it's pretty powerful software for lots of textile tasks. But I did not work specifically at weaving companies, so I'm sure there's more to know. Maybe look through commercial weaver job listings and see what software knowledge is desirable? Hope it helps!

      Wacom connects to the computer - you would need some kind of software to use it with. Adobe programs are just the most common ones, but you can explore other options such as Gimp, Affinity or Photopea - the last one is an online program that is said to be very comparable to Photoshop (I haven't personally used any of these programs but I've heard good things).
      I bet the same programs could be used with a Samsung tablet - but you would have to investigate a bit further.
      Procreate software works only on iPad - not on Samsung/android tablets.
