GLITSCHKA/Glitschka Studios for “Drawing Vector Graphics: Patterns” for
lynda.‐
Von R. Glitschka
Using his Scroll Work pattern (shown in the previous gallery) as a starting point, Von
R. Glitschka of Glitschka Studios created the variation used for the cover of this
topic by layering this pattern onto itself. After adding to his set of custom fill colors,
he duplicated the first pattern by dragging its swatch to the New Swatch icon in the
Swatches panel, he then double-clicked the duplicate to open it in Pattern Editing
mode. To create a white variation, he selected all ( -A/Ctrl-A) and changed the fill
to white (rendering the pattern temporarily invisible on the artboard). Exiting the
editor, he drew a rectangle on his artboard and chose his original turquoise pattern
as the fill. Opening the Appearance panel, he clicked the Add New Fill icon and
chose one of his dark blue custom colors for the bottom Fill.
