- [Instructor] In this movie, I'll show you how a create…a new pattern from an existing one.…Actually, I'll show you how to create two new patterns…from existing ones, and in two different ways,…and this can be useful when you want to refine a pattern…without ruining the original, which is a great way to work…by the way.…Your future self will thank you later.…All right, so as any 2001 aficionado knows,…this drawing of HAL is bogus.…The pupil of his eye shouldn't be white.…It should be yellow.…Plus, we need to add these additional reflections.…So I'll go ahead and switch back to my file at hand,…and I'm going to turn off the pattern layer for a moment…and zoom on in on the eye that I've drawn so far,…and you might as well make all of your modifications here…inside the actual illustration, that way,…you'll still have all of your live effects,…because as you'll see, when we paste these effects…into the pattern, they end up getting rasterized.…
All right, so I'll go ahead and select this central pupil…right here, the aperture of the camera that is the eye,…
