Here is a relaxing time-lapse of iPad calligraphy in Procreate. These are song lyrics from “Jardin d'hiver” by Keren Ann, calligraphed in a loose, whimsical style. The speed is 3x real time.

A calligrapher, teacher, and author, Molly’s work spans both modern lettering and historical script. She writes about calligraphy and handwriting as creative disciplines—shaped by tools, technique, habit, and attention—and considers what it means to write by hand in a digital age. In addition to designing custom lettering for clients, she creates books, free resources, and online classes for people who want to develop their calligraphy and handwriting, whether as a creative outlet, a professional skill, or both.
