Hello!

So I mostly design alpha patterns and I'm not very good at designing normals. Does anyone who designs a lot of normals have any tips?

Thanks!

try drawing it out on paper first. Grid paper works especially well because you can use it for alphas or normals if you rotate it 45 degrees. I normally draw the pattern outline i want, color it in with colored pencil or marker, and then draw the knots on top with pencil to figure out how it would work. Then i just put it in the generator and mess around with it until it looks right.
