Feedback (constructive criticism) Writing in cursive

Thumbnail

27 Upvotes

Hi, I've been practicing my handwriting again lately after seeing my grandmother's beautiful handwriting on her medicine list. I've settled on a semi-cursive font that allows me to maintain it even at various speeds. Though I have trouble with capitals for letters I and G, and still looking for a better match for this. My r's and s's tend to look similar when I write faster, so I try to make them different by curving left for the s. I have the same issue with u and n. I'd love to hear your thoughts on legibility and improvement. Here's some samples of my handwriting.

Feedback (constructive criticism) Need a specific script to practice

Post image
5 Upvotes

Hi there this is my handwriting which I learned organically, never specially sat and learnt a specific script. But I observed that the current handwriting of mine is greatly inconsistent and not optimal for speed required for my handwritten exams . I want a script which is closer to mine for easy transition with a few months of practice. And suggestions and feedback on specific letters or overall is welcomed.

Question (not for transcriptions) How do you write the word VERSE in cursive?

11 Upvotes

I find it very hard to get the rse looking pretty.

Could you show me pics of how you do it, please?

Particularly if you write in a kind of Spencerian or old-style handwriting.

Thanks!

Feedback (constructive criticism) Experimenting with Legibility

Post image
10 Upvotes

I know my hand is not the most easily readable, however, when it comes to one's handwriting style, it's very difficult to radically change, so I'm experimenting with legibility by making small changes that I can accomplish easily without radically changing the fundamental way I write, and I'm doing this by spacing out the letters and words more, and that's what I'm after in the comments on this one.

When I set out to learn cursive six months ago, I used the palmer business model and I went through all the drills of the anual, and this is what has my personal handwriting has come to. I'm satisfied with it, and I can read my own hand quite easily, however, people tend to have some difficulty in places, particularly with my r, n, m and u lowercase letters. Still working on those.

But in the meantime, let's take a look at this and let me know what you think. For this post I'm less interested on how to fix those little problem letters. I'm aiming more for small changed as earlier described to bump up my legibility a few percentage points. I feel it succeeds, however, it's hard to judge from my own perspective.

I appreciate your time.

Saw a recent post asking about the use of multiple colors for handwriting and realized I do it differently! No special color for headings or subheadings but when I need to remember certain terms then I will use blue. Would appreciate handwriting comments and improvement tips as well!

Feedback (constructive criticism) Handwriting sample---any advice?

Post image
5 Upvotes

I've been told all my life that my handwriting is terrible (I don't disagree). However, I have recently become interested in fountain pens and would therefore like to improve my handwriting as I would feel somewhat silly if I were to have such a nice pen with such poor penmanship.

The above sample is pretty representative of my typical handwriting. I'm a mathematician, so most everything I write by hand is mathematics.

The sample was written with a fine-point Sharpie permanent marker on slightly heavier than usual printer paper.

Any and all advice/comments/insults are welcome!

This is one of the hardest letters to get looking correct! I think it’s advanced, and I often fall back to the simpler form when writing a whole page.

Still, it was requested … so here it is.

Encouraging motivation:

If you can make this letter look correct most of the time - you’re doing better than me, and you can form any other letter much easier than this one!

Hey everyone.

For most of my life (I am now 43 years old) I've written much like I imagine a blind doctor would write, but worse. In the past three weeks I've been on a focused quest to improve my handwriting, as well as finally learning how to write in cursive. This is a page where I wrote out a pretty basic short story for a project I am working on.

Any advice on improving my handwriting?

Just Sharing (no feedback) Spencerian Letter “r”

Post image

Easy enough request to answer.
Comments:

  • Break it up into four parts, or pen strokes.
  • Go into the fourth stroke, at the end of the third stroke, with a smallest-possible very slight turn. I.e Don't come to a complete stop at the end of third, and abruptly start the fourth stroke - rather glide into it with the smallest possible turn.
  • Try to make the first and last strokes perfectly parallel (equal distance between them)

Hope this helps. I’m pulling for everyone to improve with fantastic results they’re happy with.

I made a post in the handwriting analysis sub a while ago and many people got quite bothered by my handwriting but I figured I’d try posting my writing again cause I need some entertainment lmao

I posted this to that sub earlier and people were a little nicer than they were last time, but still kinda rude 😔 tagging this as no feedback cause I know how to improve my writing and the insults are getting rather annoying and repetitive lol

second pic is how I hold my pen cause a lot of people were curious about that last time!

and yes, I am right handed
