I needed to create a huge fishing net for a project on which I am working.
First I started out drawing every strand and adding knots at each junction.
I had some fish to catch.
Then I named it and placed it in my Patterns library. I was now able to "brush" it across the areas wherever I needed a net.
THAT... was driving me craazzzy to say nothing of my eyes feeling like they had been punched.
Fortunately, Painter allows illustrators to create their own patterns. So with a little canvas about 300x300px and 72dpi I drew and painted a very small fishing net.
Then I named it and placed it in my Patterns library. I was now able to "brush" it across the areas wherever I needed a net.
And that is how I "caught my fish."
