Starting Up, Improving Or Personalizing Penmanship Style

[Anne-Sophie]

The first step is to browse the pinned topics to discover the rich diversity of penmanship styles.

 

The second step is to choose one penmanship style.

 

The third is to use the pinned lessons, buy books and seek fellow penmanship members advice to set up a practice routine.

 

The fourth and most important is to stick to a penmanship practice routine.

 

After the writing elbow, arm, hand have acquired the muscle memory of the chosen penmanship style, one can personalize the basic letter shapes, let your imagination make that penmanship style yours.

 

 

Then, one can learn to use pointed pen techniques or, another penmanship style or, just be comfortable with one's beautiful hand and smile when writing one's journal or letters to love ones.

 

 

If muscle memory is slow going, tracing letters using any kind of translucent paper is a great way to get things started.

 

That same technique works for tricky letters pairs or capital letters.
