There's mostly ancient examples there, I would like to see more native modern handwritings. Or do think this one is enough and I should stick to it to practice and get a good idea of how the characters look like?

So I decided to start a journal, which I will write ONLY in chinese and hanzi. Sometimes I can't get around looking up some characters, but this basic ASCII-Font used digitally is so annoying and it's difficult to see a natural look how these characters look handwritten.

On that app I use "Hanping Lite" they show up just right. (See image)

Is there a website or tool, that lets me convert the digital font into the look on the image?

This uniball rollerball is sooo good.

Was doing some practice and I'd appreciate any tips and feedback.

Doubly so from left-handed writers as I am one myself

I started learning Chinese 2 weeks ago and this is my first attempt of actually writing characters, I've done calligraphy once by copying an image to make a sticker but that's it, I decided to make flashcards wanted to know how good I did

Story I copied from an app that I’m using. First time writing Chinese. Any tips ? I feel like the characters are huge!

I was trying to rekindle my handwriting practice so I copied this piece from the famous Song era Chinese poet Su Dongpo's poem "Birth of a Son", which is a short, playful poem. I wrote this on a blank paper so there is a noticeable slant and it is a bit rushed as I was in a hurry. The text is in black with attribution in blue. Constructive criticism as well as general feedback is appreciated.

I'm a heritage speaker of dubious literacy 😂 Prior to a friend dragging me into the fountain pen hobby, I hadn't written any significant amount since high school Mandarin class, so my handwriting is like it was frozen in time. But I think I've seen some improvement since I started, though I still struggle with consistentcy.

大家好！ This is my fourth semester learning Chinese. My program doesn’t focus too much on handwriting. These short journals each week plus a short quiz are the only character writing we do. Just wanted to get others’ opinions on how my handwriting is. 謝謝你們！😊

Hi, Everyone

ETA: I want to make my own stroke order sheets without having to buy them.

I am looking for the app, font, program or software that will turn Chinese characters into broken traceable lines. I have seen a few for sale that have you trace by stroke order with arrows and numbers for the stroke order.

Does anyone know where I can buy this program, app or font? I'd like to make my own and make them from my computer without going through a website.

Some chinese characters make it difficult for me to write the right spacing and proportions. In the end they look very weird. Examples would be 看，得，事 and others with radicals packed tightly together.

whenever i write it it looks awful lol 😭 its such an awkward one to write well. does anyone have any tips to handwrite it nicely?
