Get fancy with your handlettering


You’ve already started handlettering but want to take it a step further? You love those swirly flourishes but don’t quite know how and where to add them?

Join The Aloha Studios artist Keiko Saile in a creative adventure of making your handlettering more unique and fun. In this class, you’ll discover golden tips and tricks for basic and advanced flourishes, where to put them (and where not) and how to embellish words and quotes.

This class is intended for handlettering enthusiasts who already have a basic knowledge of letter formation and connecting letters.

I've included 9 worksheets (plus 1 empty worksheet) in the Class Project section. These files are combined in a ZIP file and can be either printed out or used on an iPad and Procreate.
