How to Use the Brushes
Using Plaid Patterns 2.0 is straightforward. Once imported into Procreate (version 5 or higher), you can select the plaid brush that matches your desired design. Each plaid is created in multiple steps, allowing you to layer different colors and adjust the pattern scale for a custom look. You can also apply texture brushes or stamps to enhance the tactile feel of your design.
For example, if you're designing a holiday card with a classic tartan pattern, you can start with a base plaid brush, then add a second color layer for contrast. After that, apply a texture stamp to give it a fabric-like finish. The included color palettes make it easy to choose hues that complement your overall design.
