If you've ever spent an hour manually copying, pasting, and rotating shapes in Illustrator to build a pattern, this tutorial will save you that time going forward. The Repeat Tool lets you generate Radial, Grid, and Mirror patterns from a single object — and keeps everything live, so you can tweak the shape, color, or spacing at any point without rebuilding the whole thing from scratch.
In this video, I walk through all three repeat types step by step — from a quick radial mandala to a full grid layout and a mirrored symmetrical design — plus how to fine-tune each one using the in-depth options panel, and how to release or expand your repeat once you're ready to finalize it. Whether you're building patterns, icons, or mandala-style artwork, this one tool can genuinely cut your production time down significantly.
