Been making patterns in @krita . Which is your fave? (2/2)

@Anke The one I forgot to save the canvas for XD

@WelshPixie I dunno, but they're all really pretty :o

@WelshPixie The last because it looks the least busy

@WelshPixie absolutely using the third of these for my phone wallpaper. Soo gorgeous!

@WelshPixie the one of all the Husky faces.
It's OKs, I knows you haven't posteds that ones yet. But it is all of the bestest.
Do you need a muse?

@WelshPixie @krita Do you know about the 17 wallpaper groups? Stop me if you have...

@WelshPixie It's about possible ways to create a wallpaper (roughly meaning, perfectly repeating pattern). These are called #WallpaperGroups, and there's exactly 17 of them, no more, no less.

All of the ones you did are the same one, which formally is called "p4m":

Another common one is a honeycomb pattern, based on hexagonal instead of square symmetry, formally called p6m.

Not sure how easy they are to do in Krita.

@JordiGH Ah thanks! In Krita I just turn on a 'wallpaper' view of the canvas, which repeats the canvas. I can also enable a multibrush and have it repeat either mirror (horizontal, vertical or both) or like my mandalas with radial symmetry. But in wallpaper mode the pattern is always the square canvas, repeated.

@WelshPixie I seeee. Now I am wondering if I could code the other 16 groups for Krita... could be a fun tool.

@WelshPixie @krita I adore the red/yellow/blue flowers, and the cleanness of the yellow flowers is nice too

@WelshPixie The two with the white background would make really cute shirt/dress patterns!
