8 Animal Flourishes in Real Time

I earn small commissions for purchases made through links in this post. Proceeds help me to continue producing free content.

This week’s video is a real-time demonstration of pointed pen animal flourishing! I’m using my own calligraphy brush for the Procreate app.

For all eight animal flourishes, I’m using the Classic Pointed Pen from The Ultimate Lettering & Calligraphy Procreate Kit. Here’s a preview of all eight that I demonstrate in the video above:

Lettering Flourishes Masterclass

If you’re interested in calligraphy flourishing and want to learn more, you might enjoy my Lettering Flourishes Masterclass. This is an hour-long video class where I share the eight principles I’ve identified for successful flourishing in calligraphy and hand lettering. The lesson comes with a 26-page workbook, which you can print or use in Procreate.

Lettering Flourishes Masterclass is included in DesignCuts’ Create More Live Event Pack. This one bundle gets you lifetime access to over 30 video workshops in lettering, illustration, Photoshop, and freelancing, as well as $300+ worth of downloadable goodies – including my flourishing workbook!⁠ I don’t like sounding sales-y, so I only ever share about offers like this when I buy them myself and can vouch that they’re a great deal. This is a good one, guys!
