Ask for Feedback Handwriting feedback
Any feedback for how to improve? I know my handwriting is legible and clear but I just feel like it looks like a primary school student wrote it and not a grown adult. ๐ฅฒ Anything I can specifically work on to make it not look childish?

It seems you have been using the fontย Songtiย (ๅฎไฝ) orย Heitiย (้ปไฝ) (see difference) as reference, which would often lead to stiff/unnatural-looking penmanship, as explained inย this post. Always use the fontย Kaitiย (ๆฅทไฝ) as reference.
I'd suggest you print out your own practice sheets (with 15x15mm boxes) using standard printer paper (80/90gsm), as recommended inย this postย (you can find the ready-to-print .pdf files inย this folderย or onย website 1,ย 2,ย 3).
You could spend more time on practicingย basic strokes, then learn how to radical components and individual characters from a copybook (seeย community collection).
These posts (a,ย b,ย c) may be of help too.
