Draw with Me: Extra Flourished Calligraphy Layout

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

Today’s video is a quiet “Draw with Me” demonstration. This is an extremely flourished calligraphy layout design in Procreate – a quote by Frederick Douglass in my own, highly ornate calligraphy style. I hope this provides you a relaxing art experience.

In this demonstration, I’m using the Classic Pointed Pen from The Ultimate Lettering & Calligraphy Procreate Kit. I love this for ultra-flourished calligraphy styles because its pressure sensitivity ensures really thin upstrokes and lots of control over downstroke width.

If you create your own version of this lovely quote, please tag me in your work so I can have a peek!


Free practice sheets!

You can follow along from home using my free practice sheets of the same design. Simply get my Lettering Toolkit. Sign-up is free and takes only minutes. This design is called “Flourished Frederick Douglass Quote” and can be found in the “Flourished Layouts” section of my downloads portal.
