Flourished Majuscules: A Video Demonstration

Written By Molly Suber Thorpe

Watch me write a flourished uppercase calligraphy alphabet in Procreate. This is a slow, quiet video intended to be paused and rewound for penmanship practice.

Below the video you can download a free practice sheet to follow along at home.

I’m writing with my Vintage Pointed Pen from The Ultimate Lettering & Calligraphy Procreate Kit. I love this brush for flourished and historical calligraphy styles because it has just the right amount of stroke texture to emulate an authentic pointed dip pen.
