This tutorial will teach you how to make the ever popular Carbon Fiber pattern. I use it frequently, since it can create many different looks when it's applied in different scales. Anywhos, let's get started!

1. Create a new image, 4px by 4px, with a transparent background

2. Zoom in 800%

3. Using your 1px Pencil tool () and the color #595959, create a 2px wide by 1px high rectangle in the top left corner of the square


4. Now switch your color to #474647 and make another 2x1 pixel rectangle below the one you just made


5. Repeat Step 4 with the color #2D2C2D


6. Repeat Step 4 with the color #131212


7. Now switch sides and make another 2x1 pixel rectangle with #2D2C2D in the top right corner of the square


8. Switch your color to #131212 and make another 2x1 pixel rectangle below the one you just made


9. Repeat Step 8 with the color #595959


10. Repeat Step 8 with the color #474647


11. Go to Select > All (or press Ctrl + A)

12. Go to Edit > Define Pattern. Name the pattern "Carbon Fiber," save, and you're done!



You may also download the pattern here. Save it into your presets directory under Patterns (should be something like C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop 7.0\Presets\Patterns). This pattern is used in my Custom Style #1 Tutorial

Jeez, I don't know what's been up with PicTiger lately... Guess I'll have to reupload them. Sorry about that! I just got back from a month and a half "vacation" so I'll get around to updating the tutorial images within the next couple of days.
