General patterns to fill in space in illustrations.
These are patterns inspired by some golden age illustrators I like! They're great for filling in small areas & for general clothing and backgrounds. If you're skilled enough, you can use the patterns as a substitute for hatching.
All patterns can be turned to color with gradient layers, color layers, etc.. Some patterns are transparent, some are not. Today, the transparent color will be represented by these beige squares:

So if you see this as the background, it's transparent. If you want a pattern to be transparent, you can always use the "multiply" property or "convert brightness to opacity." :0
