Turn your doodles into fun icons and playful patterns!

Want to design your own gift wrap, stickers, or phone cases?

It's easier than you'd think. Procreate's symmetry tool turns simple doodles into polished patterns you'd happily print on any of them.

In this class, I'll walk you through my full process for creating fun icons and themed patterns in Procreate. You'll learn how to come up with fresh ideas, turn them into finished designs, and save a ton of time with the symmetry tool and stamp brushes.

Whether you want to design patterns for products, or fun little icons to decorate your art, you're going to love this class.

I'd recommend following along in Procreate, since I'll be covering features inside the app.

Wow, I learned so many things in this class. The symmetry tools are invaluable—I can't believe I didn't know they existed! It was a super fun challenge to brainstorm the objects, refine the composition, and work with a limited colour palette. Symmetry is so satisfying! Very pleased with the result!

I really enjoyed the fun with symmetry class, which was easy to follow and taught me some new procreate tricks! Charly had some really helpful tips. I pretty pleased with how my drawing turned out in the end, and I am looking forward to experimenting further with symmetry. Thank you Charly!

    Great class for all levels! I enjoyed playing around with the ideas of themes on the cheat sheet and can’t wait to make another one! For this project I used the theme of zodiac with a crab. I tried one of the palettes Charly gave in the class resources and am happy with the brightness of them. I had a lot of fun making star stamps too! - Sofie Meraki

  • Student artwork from the Fun With Symmetry course

    This class is very fun to follow through! I enjoyed each step and exercise so much. Also, the brushes Charly introduced are so niceeee, need to explore more on every brush! All in all, another great class, Charly! Thank you for helping me discovering new techniques and opening up my creative side! You are the best! - Syazana Khairol

    I decided to create a spooky cute pattern for this class and had so much fun making it. Charly is an amazing teacher and the resources are so useful - I will use them again for other projects. I am now eager to do other classes by Charly, thank you so much! - Nat Ellis

  • Student artwork from the Fun With Symmetry course

    Found this class very helpful and easy to follow and fun. Charly’s illustrations are very cute and appreciated the stamp brush making because I see that being something I use all the time. I also appreciated the class resources and discounts on new brushes. Overall great class. I want to do more illustrations based on this class and take her other ones. - Floria Hance

    That was a fun class! Unfortunately I‘m addicted now in making and using my own stamps, so guys be cautious when you watch this class! ;-) I really really hope for more to come, Charly, your classes are all so fun and you learn a lot - Jutta Schneider

To get the most out of this class, I’d highly recommend you follow along on an iPad, using the Procreate app (the two tools I most recommend for illustration!).

However, if you have another drawing software that you prefer and understand well, you’re absolutely welcome to follow along using that. Though I have a number of juicy Procreate tips for you, the class is mainly about the fundamental skills of creating themed patterns.

This is a class on digital illustration, and while the principles I teach will apply to any medium, you will struggle to follow along with the exercises if you aren’t working digitally.
