If you’re on Instagram you may have seen the Toon Me challenge (#toonme). This challenge involves taking a photo of yourself, splitting it in half and making a cartoon out of one half of your portrait.

What is the Instagram Toon Me Challenge?

The Instagram Toon Me challenge allows users to show off their creative side by turning themselves into a cartoon character. The challenge is simple: using the hashtag #ToonMe, users post a picture of themselves either partially or fully cartoonified on Instagram.

Whether you’re a professional artist or a complete novice, the Instagram toon me challenge is the perfect way to show off your creativity and expand your reach by participating in a fun art trend.

I decided to give the challenge a try for myself, and recorded the process in this video on my Youtube channel!

It was fun to participate in this Instagram art challenge, so I might do more of them in the future! It was great to see the different approaches people took and the different styles that they used. I would definitely recommend this challenge to anyone looking for a fun and creative way to spend some time.

Hey friends! Today I’m sharing with you a video tutorial I made on how to make an offset repeating pattern in Photoshop.

Offset patterns are a great way to add interest and texture to your designs, and they’re fairly easy to create in Photoshop. In this tutorial, I’ll walk you through the steps for creating an offset pattern of your own. You’ll learn how to use the Offset Filter, how to adjust your layer properties, and how to save your pattern for future use. Let’s get started!

Creating a offset pattern is simple and especially useful for designing artwork for Print on Demand websites.

Some Print on Demand websites, like Redbubble, let you make a tiled pattern right in their uploading tool. However, it might not always look just how you want it to. Being able to make your own offset pattern will ensure that your design looks good on the full range of products like leggings, dresses or curtains.

Making a pattern from your design can also be helpful if your artwork is too small to cover the product. Instead of up-sizing and losing quality, you can make a pattern instead.

Below are some examples of products I’ve made with this technique.

With just a few clicks, you can easily create an offset pattern that can be applied to your designs.
