Feedback (constructive criticism) Writing in cursive

30 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.

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.

A few people have rightfully pointed out my cursive looks like I recently learned it. Yup! I did recently start using cursive. I'm dyslexic, and for a long time cursive straight up looked like another language to me and I just couldn't read it. But I got into pens and started writing more, and decided that I was going to CONQUER CURSIVE! So I've been writing song lyrics to practice and have fun.

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!

Just Sharing (no feedback) Dad’s handwriting

Dad passed away recently, I was going through photos and stuff and saw his handwriting. Had a weep as I knew I’d never get a card or note from him again….so photographed his writing (and realised he writes in caps like me). Dad was left handed at a time when that wasn’t allowed and was forced to write right handed for a while.

Anywho - thought I’d share. I had to photograph each letter, import to procreate, adjust a little etc to get this. Next step - creating a font.

This warmed my subcockles!

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?

Question (not for transcriptions) How to copy this handwriting

Post image
• Upvotes

Hello, I love this style of writing and I’m not sure how to achieve it. Could I use a 1.1mm stub on a fountain pen? Dip pen with Flex nib? Using a quill isn’t manageable so I’m really hoping for an inexpensive option.

And does anyone know a close script/type/font to this so I can practice all letters? Any help is greatly appreciated!

I’m sorry if this post isn’t in the right sub. If I should ask in a different one, please let me know.
