Today, I want to show you how Procreate has transformed my calligraphy drafting process. For those who already have an iPad—or are considering one—this digital tool provides a quicker, more efficient way to create and refine your calligraphy designs.
Ink spatters have become a trend in calligraphy. They’re a way to reiterate that the writing was created by hand and is, indeed, a one-of-a-kind piece! Today, I’ll show you how to create clean and efficient ink spatters in what might be the shortest tutorial in TPK history.
In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to transform a simple silhouette into a vibrant piece of art using creative word placement and elegant calligraphy.
If you’re looking for a quick gift idea or a meaningful piece of home decor, try making this flourished ampersand art! With the help of a free printable and a light box or a bright window, it will take about 20 minutes to create.
Feeling adventurous? Today’s the day that you learn how to take your pointed pen away from paper and try writing calligraphy on agate. (Spoiler alert: you’ll do great — I’m walking you through every single step in both a video and a written tutorial.)
