Calligraphic Drawing, written and illustrated by artist Schin
Loong, is a step-by-step guide to the pictorial side of
calligraphy. Learn how to make calligraphic flourishes, then apply
the technique to draw 15 different flourished animals. You'll also
find instructions for embellishing letters and drawing ornamental
cartouches. In the past, masters of penmanship advertised their
copperplate skills by shaping their calligraphy and flourishes into
elaborate pictorial designs. Now the art of the flourish is back!
With her fresh approach to this age-old art form, Schin will take
you confidently through each step, from choosing your pen, nib, and
ink, to creating calligraphic animals that express your own
imagination and artistry. The basic steps for the strokes are
simple, but as you learn each new pattern and stroke, you'll watch
your drawings develop into ever more complex and beautiful
compositions. By following the step-by-step instructions, you can
create stunning drawings of a pigeon, swan, crane, rooster,
jellyfish, goldfish, peacock, parrot, owl, raccoon, elephant,
puppy, rabbit, fox, and zebra. Each exercise includes a photo of
the animal, followed by an illustration and written guidance for
each numbered step. You'll find helpful tips and encouragement
throughout. At the back, a gallery showcase provides examples of
Schin's own artwork to inspire you in your own flourishing
pursuits. Whether you're a designer, calligrapher, doodler, or just
picked up a pen, this guide to drawing with flourishes will
enlighten and inspire.
