Simple Pattern Examples
Here, we introduce you to geometric patterns, and give 35 vibrant, diverse, and inspiring examples. What is a Geometric Pattern? Geometric patterns have their roots in math. Geometry is the branch of mathematics relating to lines, angles, curves, and shapes. So, it's easy to see how they are applicable to art and design.
Sometimes, the most interesting patterns come from happy accidents. Practice makes progress Keep a doodle journal. Fill a page with patterns each day. You'll be surprised how quickly you improve! I've included some of our favorite easy pattern examples later in this post to help inspire your own unique designs.
Here are some other examples of how a simple stripe pattern might be augmented. In the first example, additional solid and dashed lines are interspersed between the original stripe pattern, making it more dynamic. In the second example, scallop-shaped lines and dots are added between the original stripes for a pattern with a lacy-looking texture.

Mastering Pattern Basics Lines, Repetition, and Spacing. Before diving into intricate designs, let's master the fundamentals of drawing patterns. Start with simple lines and experiment with repetition and spacing to create mesmerizing effects. Explore the interplay between lines and shapes, from minimalist compositions to complex arrangements.
Patterns can be as simple as repeating dots or stripes or as complex as geometric mosaics and floral designs. Start with a single element, like a circle or a leaf, and repeat it in rows or spirals to build your pattern. As you grow more confident, experiment with layering, symmetry, and texture to make your patterns more dynamic and eye
Line Gradient Pattern. This simple pattern is a great way to create a gradient between lighter and darker marks. We draw this pattern by starting with a dense group of lines in one corner of the block. We then slowly lessen the lines in rows until the other end of the block, resulting in a seamless line gradient.

Many patterns are made by placing the shapes side by side. For example, look at the irregular nonagons on the top row or the circles, hexagons, and cubes on the bottom row. You can make this type of pattern more complex by placing smaller shapes inside the original shapes, as in the diamond and triangle patterns on the second row.
Ideas for Simple Patterns to Draw Create a Pattern Grid. One way to get better at drawing patterns is to come up with a grid in your sketchbook that has a bunch of different examples of patterns. Start by drawing a grid with the same size squares. In each square draw any pattern idea that comes to your mind.
