19 colour Pencil Damask patterns

Look familiar?

These are coloured versions of that damask pattern that I drew
& then scanned and made a pattern out of.
(The tutorial is here - showing how you can create your
own original pattern, if you'd like to try it out.)

I re-coloured the original black & white pattern
to share a selection with you.



Here's a close-up, so you can
see if you like the pattern:

(The damask element is hand-drawn so it has "imperfections"...

... but the element is repeated by computer, so it has some
symmetry. Hope you can use them!)

For best quality
please download the JPEGs from flickr
or the PDFs from acrobat (that are linked on the flickr pages)

Those are 300 DPI
If you want the 72 DPI that is only for
online use (not printing) please use the blogger versions.




They are sized to 2500 pixels square, so you can easily turn
one into a Photoshop brush, if you like.

You can turn them into patterns that will fill
about 8.5" square in PS or gimp (how to here).

Or you could simply print them out as digital patterned
paper. They should print about 8.5 inches square
(if you print the PDF or print in Photoshop using
the "scale to fit media" setting with a standard printer.)
& will fit on a standard sheet of cardstock.

Colours will depend on your printer or computer monitor, of course.

Feel free to re-colour & rework them for personal use
or for making hand-made items to sell.
There's a tutorial here showing
how to lighten & re-colour in Photoshop

Please, no re-sale of the digital file or variations.
If you'd like to make a variation using these patterns
& share it for free, go right ahead!
Please tell people where you found it & I always appreciate a link :0)

Hope you enjoy them!


P.S. Don't have PhotoShop? Gimp is an open-source (shared for free) photo editing software that you can download here.

P.P.S. For a different softer pencil-y
damask please see this post:

(There are some ideas on how to distress
digital papers--printed on an ink jet
printer--using water there too)
