The quickest way I've found to make a repeating pattern in Photoshop is to open the texture file, select all, Edit -> Define Pattern, then use the bucket tool and set its drop-down to pattern fill. Fill on a fresh blank layer and it repeats itself over the whole area. (This is in my ancient CS2 but it's probably pretty similar in the newer versions of Photoshop, I think.) Thanks for these tutorials, by the way! I'm being forced to redraw three issues of my own comic because I lost the originals in a hard drive crash and only have backup JPGs, so I have to recolor them as well. The value/contrast, focus and local color videos were especially useful to me. I use local color way too much.
Great video! You can use the "Vanishing Point" filter in Photoshop in order to paste your texture into various perspective planes without too much effort.
Personally I kinda like drawing my own textures and putting them in a library for re-use. Then you don't get issues weird shadows that don't make sense in the image and you also avoid the copyright concerns entirely.
Earlier this decade I took tons of classes that were basically teaching Adobe products at Portland Community College in the Multimedia/Video Production department. So any time I bring a scalable image into a project, like your textures in this video, I first turn them into a Smart Object, which is supposedly supposed to vectorize the image so you don't lose quality when you shrink or enlarge the image. (Smart Objects are also like Pre-Comps in After Effects and placing Sequences in other Sequences in Premiere, where you can double click to enter and edit that section.) Is there a reason you didn't turn the textures into Smart Objects? BTW, I love your videos. I have watched a couple of them several times, and might actually get around to flat coloring your way, but currently I am just coloring old cartoon comics as a way of relaxing after work. www.pinterest.com/jaredprophet/coloring/
patterns got to be subtle and match perspective! thanks . by the way I noticed your music instrument in the background you should play for us sometime it is kinda cool
ALL of your videos have helped me tremendously! I've been jotting down some questions over the last couple days and was curious if you had a way to message you personally to answer? I recently just added you on Twitter as well (@mightymutantmetahuman). Thanks for all you're doing for us beginners man!
thank you for teaching your epic knowledge ^-^/ sir, will you kindly do a video regarding adding patterns on a sci fi suit (e.g hexagon pattern). btw much respect from Pakistan. Ayhab.
K Michael Russell big fan of your work, hey do you remember an image of a batman comic where they used a moon image photoshoped on the drawing? it looked weird, i think it was when colorist where starting to experiment with digital
As a reader of comic, I prefer the old school simple colors because it helps me concentrate on the story.

Finally i learned how to put textures in prospective! thank's a lot i was going crazy blindly trying to do it
Use the "Skew" tool

The info about the google search tool settings was great. I didn't even think to use them. Thx!

Very interesting! Texture can definitely make or break a great image. Thanks for all the great tips.
For brick and stone textures I usually use Google Sketchup, make a wall, fill it with a texture and do a screen shot.
Very nice tutorial! What plugin are you using to make the "similiar suggentions" show up in Google Images?
Awesome
