hi everyone, this is my first post here. so i wrote out some of Anne Frank’s diary entries, just so i had a random example of something to copy.
the first paragraph is my regular handwriting, and i wasn’t trying so hard to make it neat. i switched to pencil halfway through to see if that would affect my handwriting. the pencil part is a bit smudged because I’m left handed.
the second paragraph is how my writing looks when I’m actually trying; aka going slow enough to make it neat. but even then, i still feel like it looks kind of messy. any advice or constructive criticism is welcome, thank you!
Pretty much what the title says. These are my APUSH notes, so I wouldn’t say they’re my best writing. What do you guys think I need to improve on the most?
Is is that bad? I like my scrawl and think it's more or less legible 😭
I was rushing so at times things that I found harder to write (like the "3" in "S3" or "1947") I just left as scribbles since these are just to help me remember my notes.
I always thought my handwriting was really good until I found this sub, let me know what y’all think or how I can’t improve :)
I've had bad handwriting my whole life. I can't remember things well without writing them down, so I have to do a lot of writing quickly. If I slow down then I can't focus, even if it would improve it a little bit. Honestly I can hardly even read my own writing.
Should I consider a shorthand?
I know yall usually post your beautiful penmanship (very jealous btw) and i was curious what yalls thoughts were on my silly handwriting :)
i know its not particularly good or special - i just personally like seeing peoples everyday writing and wanted to share!
note: i literally hate the way i write lowercase d and e 😭 idk how to fix it
Olá, pessoal!
Estou começando uma jornada fascinante no mundo da caligrafia e gostaria de compartilhar um pouco dessa experiência e, ao mesmo tempo, aprender com vocês. Uma das minhas motivações para esse novo hobby é aprimorar a qualidade da minha escrita, especialmente nas minhas anotações diárias e além disso ser a minha "meditaçao"diária e matinal.
Atualmente, percebo que existem diversos estilos de caligrafia que podemos incorporar ao nosso cotidiano. Algumas opções populares que pude conhecer até o momento incluem:
Estou curioso para saber quais estilos vocês usam no dia a dia e como isso tem impactado suas anotações e estudos. Para quem está começando como eu, existe alguma técnica que vocês recomendariam como mais acessível? Estou a procura de métodos que sejam fáceis de aplicar e que ajudem a desenvolver a habilidade gradualmente.
Agradeço qualquer dica ou sugestão. Mal posso esperar para ver onde essa nova paixão pela caligrafia me levará!
I was bored while I was studying so I started doodling my class notes and foud the result pretty neat, while unreadable. What do you think?
I feel like my handwriting is unconsistent. I would like some advices to improve it. Do you have a training routine ? Does it help ? Thanks !
Most people I know tell me it is, I just wanted to know. (Written with a cartridge fountain pen bought for me by my mother).
just like mindless writing i do whenever im bored/whenever i need smth to do w my hands, im ambidextrous and theres handwriting from both hands here idk
Here is a specimen of my penmanship at speed. While, I do not endorse penning at this speed on heavy paper, it came out not bad. What do you all think? And I have to demonstrate my ambidexterity every now and then, so half way through this extract, I switch hands.
