Can You Give Me Feedback On My Handwriting

[Dstep96]

Hey everyone! I'm new here and I'm 15 years old. Here's a picture of my handwriting

What kind of feedback do you seek? Regarding readability I think it is rather good. Although some letters have problems. The b seems to look like an l. The o looks not directly like your a, but at the end you also go down to the baseline so it is easily confused with the a.

Thank you! I often worry that my handwriting isn't legible and that my teachers secretly hate me because they have to read that when grading my work. Is there anything else you recommend I could do to improve my writing?

Good handwriting is composed of two ideas, the first being that letterforms should be consistent, and the second being that your slant should be consistent. As long as you have both consistent letterforms and slant you can do more or less what you want with your letters.

 

If you are serious about improving both your writing and your speed, you could try looking at the Palmer method to better your handwriting; there's even a thread on here about learning it together.

From the picture, it seems that you are writing really fast. I would consider trying to write every letter by itself slowly and try get consistency with each letter. Practise until each letter looks almost identical each time you write it. You might have to write painfully slow, but it works!

 

I agree with thang1thang2 that you should have a consistent slant so that everything looks neat.

I learnt from having a writing slope card. It's just a piece of A4 paper with lines sloping forward on the whole page that I placed under my sheet of paper to help me get an even slant each time I wrote something.

 

Sorta like this picture without the words.

 

Your handwriting is legible to me, so you don't have to worry about that. Good luck practising and hopefully you'll achieve the handwriting style you desire

There's a site called IAMPETH with a lot of lessons on cursive writing. The lessons are from the past but still relevant. Take a look at them and have fun.
