Wow, I love your work, specially since you're doing the Greek calligraphy & I'm doing the Hebrew. I love this piece here. Keep up the good work! שלום

Have you played with vector graphics program, like Inkscape? If you make your calligraphy with it, I think it would be much better . For one, it is scalable to any resolution, and you can try to sell it

no, I had no idea about that program. While I am still practicing, I occasionally do happen to draw something good and while I want to do it in digital form I only had photoshop and I'm really bad at tracing. Thank you very much

ok, no worries. Just one thing: even if you don't know anything about inkscape, just install it, and it can trace your image automatically just by few clicks. Maybe you want to give it a try

oh wow. Thanks a lot.
Meanwhile, I've been looking and found a few but mayby you know some more. Do you know where I can find good ornaments and decorations for calligraphy images? Kinda like the ones you see in arabic calligraphy.

Hello, sorry for my late reply.

You can search "ornaments decorations" in "browse art" section in DA, and you will find:

Ornamental curls: www.deviantart.com/art/Ornamen…
Decorative ornaments: www.deviantart.com/art/Decorat…
Brushes Art Nouveau Decorations: www.deviantart.com/art/Brushes…
........... and so on. I am sure you'll find a lot of alternatives using "browse more like this" from above deviations.

My mosaic pattern stock: hanciong.deviantart.com/art/mo…

Also, several things come to my mind from my favorite collection:

My Mandala collection: hanciong.deviantart.com/favour…
Henna stock: dablurart.deviantart.com/art/H…
Damask pattern stock: arsgrafik.deviantart.com/art/D…
Islamic arabasque brushes: hillllallll.deviantart.com/art…
Floral swirls: sugarbreezy.deviantart.com/art…

I hope some of them can help you
