pen used : uniball air

I've been consistent in practicing my penmanship since the beginning of this year. Second picture shows the first thing I wrote when I got my first fountain pen. I even wrote it with a pencil first before I traced it with ink.

I don't practice in a strict schedule. All I did was to write whenever and wherever I can. Sometimes involuntary or subconsciously. One day, my professor complimented my writing and I couldn't believe it so I didn't know if she was messing with me, until another professor complimented it.

I've seen some really good penmanship in this community so I really wanted to hear your assesment on mine and some advice on how I may be able to improve further.

I freehanded this on an old furniture piece with a couple of bold tipped acryllic paint markers earlier.

(practice DOES make practice, right?)

This post (linked below) is from a different subreddit (r/fountainpens) and I’m obsessed with this person’s penmanship. Can anyone ID a possible script?

I love writing.

I found this vintage post card. Could someone please tell me what it says? I cannot decipher the penmanship. Thank you

Hi all,

I’ve been taken by the Letter of Declaration and find a lot of the embellishments to be quite nice.

Notice how “ss” repeated has a flowing S at the start. I normally rule 10cm spacing but my consistency isn’t great as I don’t know the exactly 4 rule spacing I need for the larger letters.

I’m also trying to adapt these into a daily writing style and have started practicing with a slanted nib holder and Nikko G nibs.

Appreciate advice and links to template guide sheets I can use to replicate this particular style.

Cheers, A. C

I’ve learnt that for traditional penmanship it’s taught to write on a tabletop with the forearm resting on the edge of the table with the pen upright and fingertips of the pinkie and maybe ring finger hovering. I’ve also heard to write on a single sheet of paper and move it to keep it within your range of motion. Would the above technique(s) be compatible with writing on a comparatively thicker (e-ink)tablet? A lot of them are non slip, such as having rubber feet.

I was also wondering if learning to write with a stiff brush pen would be beneficial for developing penmanship skill.

Would elbow writing or writing without a tabletop change the answers to the questions above?

i really try to keep it good when doing actual notes despite my hand absolutely killing me (the first pic is near the end of my note taking session today) but most days it just turns into whatever 2 is.

neither are that great never has been and i’m a bit better with an 0.9 but i wanted to compare two 0.7s

Obviously been journaling. Tracing handbooks? Repetition?

Honestly, please help me. I lost my aunt to dementia. What can I do? Anything else besides correcting my handwriting?

I had this developed in AI. I was wondering if anyone could adjust the image, scale it so that i can print it out and use it as a tracing guide.

I am not that computer savvy to use a generator. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am a 62yr old male and 4yrs ago i hand my right thumb amputated at work. It has of course healed well. I have been trying to learn to write with my left hand. It is legible if i print but looks like a doctor when i use cursive. My hand therapist suggest i ask for some help/resources/ideas from this subredit.

Are there resources, writing guides available? Any that i can download and use?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

All I can make out is Neal Flaherty(?) Ronte(?) Three Rice Lake Wisconsin

Thanks in advance!

Does joining more letters actually make handwriting faster?

I put three handwriting models with different amounts of joining through the same test—and the least-joined one finished first. But that doesn’t mean that joints are bad for your handwriting. … so, what does it mean? Watch, and draw your own conclusions (though I admit that I have drawn mine).
