This a deviation from the traditional Off-Hand Flourishing: it has a cast shadow as well as a small slash of colour.

Off Hand flourishing was an art done by calligraphy artistes, with the sole intent of showing off their skills. It is an art that is seldom used today, and in some esoteric circles even frowned upon. This drawing was done originally by hand with a dip pen and black ink. What I have done: is redo the image with a drawing tablet and digital pen, and the use of Abobe Illustrator. So the original is a layered vector file.These images would look great on a set of mugs or dinner plates.
