Welcome to Rhythm Project Tutorial We will design a pattern and repeat it in
the style of Keith Haring
Use Pixlr.com editor Create new image
Choose a color palette or theme for your artwork For example Haring used black and white
or bright primary colors or one color with black
Always using heavy black line For this example I will use primary colors
I will color in my background layer
to start Choose color picker to choose color
Choose paint bucket to fill in color I will not draw on this layer
I will next create a new layer Select new blank layer to draw on
Draw a simple outline figure Use
a thick black line
Create your outline
Create a figure or animal shape Fill in with color
choose the magic wand tool to select the interior of your figure
I am using primary colors for my theme I am choosing red to fill in my figure
Use the paint bucket tool Now deselect this selection
Add movement lines using your black line I will now duplicate this figure several times
to use in my pattern Go to Layer>Duplicate Layer
Repeat as many times as you want to repeat this figure in your artwork
Use MOVE tool to move each figure around To rotate use Edit> Free Transform
Overlap if you want To create new figures add a NEW layer
Make sure it is a new blank layer Repeat the steps for drawing a new figure
I will show you a drawing I already completed Layer by Layer
Add more duplicates of the new figure as well Choose a different color for each figure
To complete your drawing Fill in the empty space with movement lines
