Course notes :

Did this all in one take (though the widescreen thing needed some shifts to make everything visible) so again, if I sometimes fuck up, sorry.

Here's the official Palmer Method alphabet :

Hopefully, though, with this course you've learned some funny variations of all of them. Any questions ?

I know it's a long-awaited video. It was great to be your instructor. I'm still available if you have any comments/questions/requests. Don't forget to check the sidebar for some cool links on calligraphy and handwriting.

Basically, here's where you take a before/after picture of your handwriting and upload it, in order to receive due praise for your commitment to the lessons.

If you're good enough and would like to use this course to reap some sweet, sweet karma, you can post photos of your handwriting at /r/handwriting. In fact, I strongly encourage you to flood that sub with properly-formed Palmer/Spencerian-ey script pictures.

Course notes :

Some very long takes, so there are sentences that stop making sense halfway through. If you have trouble understanding anything you may ask me anytime.

One thing I forgot to mention but really should, is that this video is extremely rich in information, so be sure to take it one step at a time. Print guidelines, familiarize yourself with them. Then do the drills (always do drills), and then look at the alphabet. Don't try and cram it all in a 1-hour session or your brain will explode.

Edit : As per demand, the full alphabet with guidelines is available in the next lesson's notes.

Course Notes :

One thing I thought I had made clear but, looking back, really didn't : What I mean by "freeing the forearm" is that, whilst your elbow is against the table, the forearm should be either slightly brushing against it, or hovering above it - make sure it's not resting on the table.

The Palmer method also recommends you have your pinky finger, and only the pinky, touching the table. This way, the hand and fingers are a lot freer as well. I would recommend trying that once, and only once, you get the forearm movement to be natural. Resting the base of your hand on the paper as you would naturally do forces you to use the forearm to write, getting yourself good habits. Once the habits are there, you can get into fancy finger actions by having your hand, except the pinky, hovering over the paper.

As always, like, comment, subscribe. This episode brought to you by all the cluttered shit on my desk.
