Yet another absolutely amazing thread !!

So many beautiful handwriting samples. I wish I'd learnt cursive at school.

I wrote it on some recycled paper made from bananas

This is my first attempt at posting an image on FPN. Did it work?

Wow, it looks big and goofy! I wrote it out after doing a lot of writing yesterday and my hand was stiff, but that's a somewhat ragged version of my cursive. Normally, the "t" in "Lithuania" wouldn't be taller than the "h." And for some reason the line variation didn't get picked up by the scanner very well. It's subtle to begin with, but in the cross-hatches on the right side I can barely see it. Unforgiving scanner!

Interesting... I was just thinking how nice it looked!

Wow, thank you! Sharing handwriting online feels kind of funny- it's so personal somehow! Most of the majuscules, the A, C, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, M, N, T, V and W were inspired by the Kaufman & Homelsky book, "Calligraphy in the Copperplate Style." I've been teaching myself with sporadic effort since last September.

[FooWriter]

I think you've done well with your efforts, and the fact that you've taken a single source as the inspiration for your majuscules lends your writing a nice, cohesive style. By way of contrast, there's my alphabet, which I posted earlier in the thread. There, you can see the result of my having adopted majuscules from various sources, to the point where my alphabet is a bit of a mismatched set. Why, even now, I'm thinking of lifting your 'G', as I don't like the one I'm using now.

 

Or even better, I should follow your example and go find a I complete alphabet I like and get to work practicing it!

You've done it once again. I aspire to your penmanship greatness. That is simply beautiful.

fountaineer - I love your handwriting! This is exactly the kind of scriptI've been trying to practice for several weeks now. I cannot seem to get all my curves atthe top of my sacenders uniform, though, and its driving me nuts. Some hardly curl at all and some bend over so far they are almost touching the baseline! But, having seen your writing I am going to put more effort in. Am I right in thinking the above is mainly printed? Or are there many joins (perhaps they are not showing up on camera very well) Could you possibly write out the alphabet with a few group joinings to show me? Many thanks.

 

I will attach my scrawl later this evening, so you can see what I mean...

Here's my sample which still retains a lot of the elements I had to digest in grade school. The more knowledgeable among us could probably spot what style it is. I do not recall.

So many of you have brilliant handwriting (I'm jealous).

 

My handwriting is terrible, but in of itself quite good when compared to some of my work colleagues (speed is of the essence at work - style comes a distant second ).

I can do OK italics but prefer straight up. The biggest thing I found that improves my writing is simply concentrating on trying to keep all the vertical strokes horizontal and the same. Very slightly slower to write this way, but at least it starts looking a bit more uniform.

 

Here are my capitals (I added the O between brown and fox as I shouldn't have "joined" the previous one to the R):

I'm working on improving my "normal" script at the moment before I even try to go onto something more adventerous .

keep all the vertical strokes horizontal

 

That must be hard indeed. I wouldn't even try to. SCNR :ltcapd:

 

It's legible, that's what's important (with the exception of the bunch of (fops, tops, lops?).

This was why I moved to vetical style writing. I wanted to keep my vertical lines parallel and my horizontal lines the same as well. In doing so, the handwriting does look nicer. Patience is the key I think.

 

We all have different levels, but what I have really liked so far is to see that all of us are working towards improving.
