Pixel Pattern Brush in Affinity Photo

[Fun Art Sam]

Does anyone know how to create a custom pixel art brush, with repeating patterns, to simulate dithering?

It would be neat to create other pattern brushes too for stars and clouds.

As an alternative to creating them yourself, consider trying some of the many brushes already shared in the Resources section of these forums. For example:

Thanks Alfred for your suggestion! I will check out those brushes.

I think I may have found one possible method to create pixel brush patterns. The pattern layer tool and a square pixel brush look like a promising process. Hopefully, that will work. 

Ishegeek created an awesome tutorial about creating a pattern, which I can then use as a texture in my brush.
