is my handwriting ok?

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!

Feedback on my handwriting?

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?

How can I improve my handwriting?

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.

Anyone have tips on how to 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?

Explorando os Tipos de Caligrafia para o Cotidiano

https://preview.redd.it/ytok3mjt754e1.png?width=1919&format=png&auto=webp&s=db7f072ca5d5af99f43de496ccbf0b6f45ba214f

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:

  1. Caligrafia Clássica: Este estilo é baseado em letras cursivas elegantes e desenvolvidas, como a caligrafia itálica. É perfeita para convites e cartões especiais.
  2. Caligrafia Moderna: Um estilo mais livre e artístico, que mistura elementos de desenho e escrita. Ele permite personalização e expressividade, ideal para quem quer dar um toque criativo às suas anotações.
  3. Lettering: Embora não seja uma caligrafia tradicional, o lettering envolve a criação de letras desenhadas à mão, focando na forma e no estilo de cada letra. É ótimo para quadros e cartazes.
  4. Caligrafia com Brush Pen: Usar canetas de pincel traz uma dinâmica diferente à escrita, permitindo variações de espessura que dão um efeito bonito e moderno.

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!

Is this handwriting hard to read?

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).

My penmanship at speed

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.
