How Do I Make a Striped Pattern in Photoshop?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 11:21 am

When it comes to creating intricate patterns, Photoshop is a powerhouse. With its wide array of tools and features, you can easily create a striped pattern in no time. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do just that:

1. Start by creating a new document in Photoshop. For this tutorial, we’ll be using a canvas size of 1000×1000 pixels.

2. Next, create a new layer and fill it with black. To do this, simply press the “D” key on your keyboard to reset the colors, then click on the black color swatch in the toolbar.

3. Now we need to add some stripes. To do this, grab the Rectangular Marquee Tool from the toolbar (it’s nested under the Lasso Tool). Then click and drag to create a selection that’s about 10 pixels wide and 1000 pixels long.

4. Once you have your selection made, press the “Delete” key on your keyboard to remove the black fill from that area. Now deselect the area by pressing “Ctrl+D” on your keyboard.

5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until you have a series of evenly spaced stripes going down your canvas. For this particular pattern, we used eight stripes total.

6. The final step is to add some variation to the pattern. To do this, simply select one of the stripes with the Rectangular Marquee Tool and press the “Delete” key again.

Then deselect the area and move on to the next stripe. Repeat this process until you have a pattern that you’re happy with.

Creating a striped pattern in Photoshop is easy with these simple steps. Give it a try yourself and see what amazing patterns you can come up with!

PRO TIP: If you are not careful, creating a striped pattern in Photoshop can result in some pretty funky and unpredictable patterns. Be sure to use a solid color for your foreground and background colors, and be very careful with your brush size and spacing. Otherwise, you may end up with a psychedelic mess!
