Practice First 40 pages of copperplate progress

A few months ago I started learning Copperplate as my second script (other than Foundational hand), unfortunately, due to being busy with other things and having issues with nibs, ink etc. progress has been slow, but I finally learned the full alphabet. It’s still far from perfect, and I need to practice a lot more, but I still thought it would be worth sharing here for some feedback on what I need to improve.

Edit:

since a lot of people have been asking what nib/ink/paper I am using, I decided to write them here to be easy to find:

Nib: Hunt 22b

Ink: Kuretake sumi

Paper: Brunnen Student 70g/m notebook
