## What is Calligraphy Tracing?

Practice the art of cursive handwriting and letter tracing with Flourish - a unique calligraphy app for writing flourishing letters on your iPhone and iPad. 

Get started with our 34 free alphabet tracing letters, plus a sample of our original hand drawn 'Calligrams' and practice your lettering style. Become a calligrapher in no time!

Add flourishing cursive loops at the start and end of your words to give your letters an artful appearance. Then hide your tracing lines, choose a background paper texture and download your design! 

Use the traditional ink pens to experience the soothing activity of writing curly, swirly letter flourishes. Or if you prefer italic style letters, our flat head marker pens are great for drawing graffiti tag style art.

Every time I try drawing with it, I push it out the bottom, but then it goes all the way to the top. Do not get the app. It’s so bad.

Maybe with the full version it is better. But it’s a good starter app!
