Two types of my handwriting - any tips?

I tried very hard to make the second one more relaxed/natural 😭

How do they look? Any specific suggestions or things to work on?

(Also can you tell I’m left-handed?)

Been learning for a month now

I'm not aiming for perfection, I'm aiming for readability, just enough so that people know what I wrote.

My handwriting was plagiarised

I have not yet posted any of my handwriting stuff in this server.

This morning I discovered this post by u/TickleMyFeeties.

This is my handwriting and I sent this in a discord server 4 months before.

https://preview.redd.it/asiww0fj1vzd1.png?width=1352&format=png&auto=webp&s=0611c07c1deea9390d44c55a1b9ed83cc4374b45

I am currently contacting moderators in the discord server about this situation.

Just so that you know, I usually go by Kumekawa, Kume, 粂墨川, 夈墨川 or 夈川誠禰 online.
(This account was created using a different name before I was settled on my online alias.)

I've added another picture of my writing from the time of the same text. This text is NOT in Chinese, it is in Chữ Nôm, and more specifically, a modified version of Chữ Nôm based on Simplified Chinese (Chữ Nôm Giản Thể).

Seeing as my handwriting is being plagiarised, I will try to post my handwriting where possible on this Reddit.

You can see some of my more recent handwriting such as this one on Tegaki Tuesday (these are Japanese tho).

I've also attached some of my recent handwriting pieces.

in 中英交流 Chinese English Language Exchange - 書法練字 | handwriting

in 中英交流 Chinese English Language Exchange - 書法練字 | handwriting

I posted this is multiple servers, including 中英交流 Chinese English Language Exchange, Chinese Plus

in 中英交流 Chinese English Language Exchange - 書法挑戰 | handwriting - 《蒹葭》

in 中英交流 Chinese English Language Exchange - 書法挑戰 | handwriting 《晚春》

Another written version of the plagiarised text, posted in Nôm Now! - 字喃简体・simp-nom

Posted in in 中英交流 Chinese English Language Exchange - 書法挑戰 | handwriting - 《九成宫醴泉铭》

FYI, I am a native Chinese speaker, and I have been learning to write Chinese characters since primary school, which was about 11 years ago already.

Is there any alternative sites for 9610.com to compare multiple examples of handwriting?

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?

I created a short video series to help beginner how to quickly practice Chinese characters.

I saw that many beginners here don't know how to understand and control the spacing and structure to make Chinese characters more beautiful, so I created this short video series using the way which chinese people practice writing Chinese characters.

I will share video and template links here, you can print it out and practice it yourself:

Series Link

Template URL

Basic 500 Chinese Characters with Strokes

and before you start to practice, please take a look of this video, it's explained how it works: The easiest way to write Chinese characters nicely

If you have other suggestions and questions, please leave a comment.

A Website to create digital Hanzi looking more natural?

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?

Some general feedback and tips appreciated

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

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

How can I improve my handwriting?

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
