First Post - Feedback My Handwriting

[Aloado]

Hi Everyone.

 

I've just entered this forum and I'd like to share my handwriting to get some feedback. I've been training for a month.
It's not my intention to write beautifully and geometrical scripts like the monks or like pointed pen Calligraphy. I particulary find that so much fantastic, but that's not for me.
I'm just get inspired by spencerian script. But I'ts not my intention "repeat" exactly the spencerian method in a strict way.
But I Like the flowing, and is that what I'm working on. The balance and the flowing is what I like most in handwriting.

I know it's not perfect, but I'd like some feedback on this basis.

 

I'm using just a bic.

Hello and Welcome to FPN!! Glad to have you as a member!! Looks nice!

Good start; as for feedback, the things that stick out to me most are too much curling in places, lack of consistency in slant, letter width, and such, and (for my tastes, at least) letters that aren’t very legible due to their width. The forms are uneven (especially some ascenders) but that, and the other issues can be fixed with deliberate practice.

If I were you, I’d probably learn Spencerian and the theory as well as technique, then apply what you learn to your own style, picking what you like. But then again, I’ve already done some Spencerian and I’m much too fussy about small details.

Practicing: try slowing down and concentrating on the details if you’re writing fast. It’s more calming that way too. And arm motion. It’ll also help widen the letters and make things more consistent.

 

For a month that’s an impressive amount of progress.

Thank you for your review.

I agree with you. I've already bought the Spencerian guide and copy books, but I didn't start is yet. I'm only make some improvementes based on observation.

 

I'm trying make same width letters. But as you said, thats come with practice.

 

Thats I'm make yersterday. What do you think?

Hi ,can I be FRANK I find that your letters are too Narrow,I am not a god handwriter but when I was at school in the UK in 1945 when the teacher announced that it was time for our English lesson he would say Get out your exercise books which had pages which had 3 lines A top Middle and Bottom the middle line was drawn ever so slightly underneath the middle, constant writing on this kind of Paper did produce very good handwriting, I can assure you it works,Trust Me Oneill

--------------- 3 line paper but the middle line should be ever so nearer the bottom line.

Your writing is very good, but, of course, it would look so much nicer if you used a fountain pen to write it.

 

Welcome to FPN.

Wonderful clear writing considering it was done with a ballpoint, the pen of the artless masses. Now, accept the challenge of a fountain pen and you will have a thing of beauty with most of the strokes you write, something unique, with personality well beyond the thin lines hindering your beautiful strokes.
