This project-based class is a guided demonstration of a flourished calligraphy layout using an iPad Pro and Procreate.

The demonstration is start-to-finish, and filled with my commentary every step of the way. I show you how I set up my document, make a rough pencil sketch, refine my sketches, draw in flourishes, "ink" it with a calligraphy brush, polish the final design, and recolor it.

This class is very relaxed. I wanted it to reflect the actual design process of a professional calligrapher creating a polished design, from sketch through final artwork. I show all of my work, leaving nothing out, so you can watch me make every stroke...and erase every mistake.

Prerequisites: This class is for students who already have some experience with Procreate lettering. If you need to learn the ropes first, start with my comprehensive beginner's class: Procreate for Absolute Beginners.

Downloadables: I've included the Procreate calligraphy brush and guide sheet that I use, as well as the layered Photoshop file of my finished design. These are available to students as free downloads in the Your Project section. They are intended for personal use only.
