Masters of penmanship in the past advertised their copperplate skills by shaping their calligraphy and flourishes into elaborate pictorial designs. Now the art of the flourish is back. Calligraphic Drawing, written and illustrated by Schin Loong, is a hands-on guide to modern penmanship art, ranging from animals to people, to fantasy subjects and works that combine pictures with writing. The text and how-tos move from the simplest to the most challenging designs, with steps to take you through them and examples to inspire you..

RedRobin

excellent book on calligraphy drawing

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 January 2019

I am reviewing this book for Schin Loong, Quarto Publishing and NetGalley who gave me a copy of their book for an honest review
It is great for a beginner like me as time is taken to explain the different nibs and their uses and then moves onto problems you might come across and how to solve them.
Basic strokes and techniques are then examined in detail with step-by-step guides which are so easy to follow.
Then these techniques are combined to create wonderful animals, like the one shown on the cover.
I hope my animals look more like these with more practise.

An inspirational book, full of illustrations

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 February 2019

An inspirational book, full of illustrations, that guides you through from basic flourishes to creating a stunning image. It begins with an introduction to the basic tools and materials you need and then guides you through some of the basic strokes and flourishes. It makes it clear that practice is key and then shows you how to use the strokes and flourishes to create some pictures, taking you through them in stages and focussing mainly on animals and birds. There is a chapter on lettering and cartouches and then more animal practice pages. The gallery at the end showcases some stunning calligraphic work. Thank you to Net Galley and the publisher, Rockport Publishers(Quarto Publishing) for an ARC.
