Hello,

I have been trying to improve my handwriting in the past several weeks. Despite my best effort, my handwriting still looks crappy and it is not quite what I wanted. So I would like to get feedback as well as pointers what I need to do to improve. Attached is a sample of my handwriting.

Thank you.

Henry

I'm not the Lord, but I will attempt an answer.

I like your handwriting. I like scripts like Gothic, Spencerian, Roundhand etc, but this is essentially taking away 'your' handwriting to create a uniform, albeit beautiful form of writing. But on the whole, your writing looks good to me and what makes it special is that it is 'yours'. I write like a drunk spider normally, but it's 'my' handwriting and I don't think I would like to change it. I can manage some scripts, but like I say, that's not 'my' writing. When you learn a particular script it is a joy; you will feel like lifting up banners, being joyous in your victory having received your hearts desire, but I tend to think (and I may get hung, drawn and quartered for saying this here) that changing what is essentially 'your' script is not always a good thing.

I'm not sure why you have issues with your handwriting (I'd be happy if mine looked like yours!) Your word height and spacing is generally consistent, it's very legible and it has a distinctive character. Unless you want to develop a standard "font" style, I'm not sure why you'd need to change this?

Thanks for the replies. Somehow I am just not content with it. Compared to some of the handwritings that I have seen, mine seems to lack certain something and I can't figure out what that is.

Just maybe, the something you are looking for is more contact with your baseline. This will give your lines more headroom and the page may become easier to look at.

 

Your writing is lovely though, and your floating baseline does indicate a healthy self-confidence and even-keel poise, from a graphology perspective.

If you wish to learn a standard style, then you may go to the iampeth website, there are a few styles to choose from.

 

From a personal perspective, I find nothing wrong with your handwriting. It's pretty consistent and legible, most of all it's distinctive.

In a world where there are no eyes the sun would not be light, and in a world where there were no soft skins rocks would not be hard, nor in a world where there were no muscles would they be heavy. Existence is relationship and you're smack in the middle of it.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
