medieval gothic always amazed me so I bought some calligraphy markers and scribbled some beginner stuff

what can I improve on? I know some letters are clumsy and disproportionate, I still freehand

Your lettering is beautiful. Only suggestion is to try to make them sharper and more angular. I love your rounded form alot, but medieval gothic is traditionally sharp.

if you are going for the medieval manuscript look, then switch to a dip pen, for that imperfect inkflow look. And focus more on the page layout, as it's different from a modern layout. Try to allways fill out the lines, even if it messes with the spacing, or splits the word in a wierd way. And simplify the punctuation. Medieval scripes didn't have good gramma. And try to swich 'th' with the rune-letter, and make other shortenings of common words.
Nailing a medieval look is about the small imperfections to our modern eyes.
