In this class we will explore flourishing techniques, from the simple spiral all the way to some more involved styles and ideas. I will walk you through the different methods and how to use flourishes to enhance both your illustrations and your lettering designs. I have provided worksheets to help you get the feel of creating a variety of flourishes, and also a page of more ornamental styles to give you some creative inspiration. I will walk you through some of the ornamental styles on this page and show you how to use tracing paper to get the symmetrical look with a hand drawn design.
Join me as we explore this fun and versatile art form.

Pencil - regular and soft lead. Any pencil in the B range is soft, I suggest a 3B.
