Calligraphic Drawing begins with a charming introduction––Loong sees calligraphic bird flourishing in an art store as a teenager, not understanding until years later that the beautiful work was done with pen and ink, not digitally in Adobe Illustrator.

Fantastic guide to bring life to your calligraphy practice
I got this book to help me "loosen up" my calligraphy and it was absolutely perfect for that! Schin walks you through her process step but step but only as guidelines rather than rules, leaving space for your own creativity. I had a lot of fun working my way through this book!
