Calligraphic Drawing: A How-To Guide And Gallery Exploring The Art Of The Flourish

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.

THE shirt for broad shoulders, bigger chest, and a bigger midsection…
I have the body of a middle aged ex-athlete. Broad shoulders, muscular arms, larger chest, and a larger waist. The cut of most shirts don’t do well with this body type. In order for a typical shirt to look good with this body type requires you to get a size large enough to fit the larger midsection which then makes the fit on the upper body too loose. The designers of this shirt clearly know my body type. I can still look athletic with a good, close fit on the upper body while having a little extra room for the waist. It’s a great fit. The material is a nice polyester. Good drape and doesn’t wrinkle easily. I own 4 of these and will be buying more.

Not bad really
Size: Large, Color: Light Grey Heather
I purchased a size Large and it's just a smidge loose but it's nothing that is really noticeable or uncomfy. I'm about 180lbs at 5'9 with somewhat of a beer belly but not a huge one lol. If you're body is about the same as mine and if you want a more fitted feel them go with a medium. So overall it's very comfortable it's my 3rd Amazon brand type of garment or clothing that ive purchased so far. Still too early to tell just how durable it is but I'll be sure to update that eventually. I use it for work (nothing heavy white collar work) and during the warm seasons I absolutely loath regular cotton style shirts. I'm not a fan of the summer weather so I tend to buy clothing that is more suitable for warm temps. This is 100% polyester and it's breathable as heck. That's what I like most about it. The overall texture and feel is somewhat "rough" but soft at the same time (if that makes any sense) but it's nothing that you'll be self conscious about. So don't let that scare you away. It's comfy and inexpensive and I recommend.

Great quality, seems to run just a little big
This is an excellent quality shirt. While I haven't put the "quick-dry" feature to the test, it definitely feels like it would dry quickly if wet. It has a little bit of weight to it but not so much that it feels heavy, just that you're well aware you're wearing it. I picked up a large and I'm about 5'9 and 175lbs (and 14 neck) - and I feel like I'm swimming in this thing (it's a bit on the bigger side). I'm definitely going to order more, probably several, but will likely drop down to a Medium and see how big a difference it makes. Hopefully it fits better without being too small. Overall, great quality and value - highly recommended (whether for golf, work, or just casual outings).
