Flourishing Worksheets – T Crossbars and Underneath the Word
Recently we chatted about flourishing ascenders and descenders, and you checked out the free practice pages on the resource hub. Now it’s time for flourishing on the t crossbars and underneath the word!
To help you get a better grasp of these, I added another couple of traceable flourishing worksheets to the resource hub. These new A4 pages focus on flourishing the t crossbars and underneath the word. Print these worksheets out on smooth copy paper (see what I recommend here) and trace over them with a small brush pen. Otherwise, feel free to just download them and use them on procreate if you prefer digital calligraphy!

Flourishing T Crossbars
Flourishing Underneath The Word
Flourishing underneath the word is usually done either 2 ways – connected to a letter, or freestanding. In the worksheets I have focused on connecting these flourishes to the letters. Generally, you use letters that dip down at the end without a descender attached, such as m,n, cursive r, and u. With this type of flourishing, it generally goes one way – curves down and to the right. From there, however, you can stretch or loop the flourish to go either direction. So these are not as easy as t crossbar flourishing, but with the right practice and drills they can be easy to get used to.
Coming Up Next
Next we will chat about flourishing the entry/exit strokes. I will upload flourish worksheets for all these strokes too, so keep checking in with your eyes peeled.
