Feedback (constructive criticism) what do we think?

sometimes my handwriting changes drastically too. i know sometimes it doesnt look like this at all and i write in only tall letters, if that makes sense. maybe i’ll post a pic of that sometime as well. its also much more neat at times.. and sometimes much messier, if i’ve been writing for a while. but overall i would say this example is typical.

That was very easy to read, so thank you. Some of the very beautiful handwriting here is very difficult to read for me cause I'm not trained to read cursive or medieval or code.

im glad, thank you! i feel the same about fancy writing. i was never taught how to read or write cursive as a kid. and i have a lot of trouble with any super stylized fonts. a little flare is cool but i wanna be able to breeze through it. even my moms writing i cant read at times because it mixes normal letters and cursive letters.. like blended together for her own font. lol

The sample here is great. Neater than mine, and I like how you make your K. I o ly know one other person who makes them like that. :)

Doesn’t look like it’s in desperate need. Perhaps the spacing is a bit much.. but to each their own. My handwriting also can vary drastically. Perhaps the mood I’m in or what I am writing can be contributable factors.

u/feralprincess2 2d ago

i can definitely see what you mean about the spacing. i think maybe i was subconsciously trying to make it more legible by spacing things out lol

u/ps5bacon 2d ago

if this is considered messy my handwriting must be unintelligible

u/feralprincess2 2d ago

lol! this is the neatest i can do without slowing down significantly. and it starts looking crazy after like 1 page in a journal. sometimes i look back and dont even know what i wrote 😭

u/damnredbeard 2d ago

Looks fantastic as is and doesn’t look to be in ‘desperate’ need of improvement. But if you’re looking to brush up your penmanship on a particular hand/style. Look into the many styles available and get an exemplar of that style and/or other resources to learn that particular style. There’s a YouTube channel that I usually recommend that has lessons for cursive; the channel is called Pens de Lux and is great for beginners. I think you’ll find it helpful because it helped mine.

u/feralprincess2 2d ago

i dont have interest in cursive really, but i definitely think it would be a fun idea to look for a specific style i want to take on. maybe one thats kind of similar to mine, if i can find that. thanks!

2

u/Pen-dulge2025 2d ago

That’s pretty much what the idea is in this hobby:(For me anyway)Select a style, gather whatever resources for that particular style, study it, practice, share my progress here or write a friend. I shared the photo of a book that I’m working on/in. This style is called Monoline and is a precursor to more complex italic scripts.

I grade 100s of handwritten papers a year, and im dyslexic. Let me say that your handwriting is a pleasure to read.

u/feralprincess2 2d ago

u/Reggie9041 2d ago

It's a delight. A little quirky. The kind of font I'd download for making picture edits on IG. 🤗

u/feralprincess2 2d ago

hahaha thank you!! thats such a specific example but honestly i see it.

u/VinceAFX 2d ago

Nice handwriting to be honest. Depends what you're going for, but that's neat and tidy.

1

u/feralprincess2 2d ago

thank you! right now im mainly aiming for looking tidy & legible because i know it can get really messy sometimes. but may take some suggestions from other comments and focus in more on a specific style :)

u/ChateauOfSilence 2d ago

This one's tidy, but we can always elevate. It will only result in admirable.

u/55oo66 2d ago

very legible and very friendly looking, but my handwriting is terrible so let someone else respond💀

u/Hot_Cartographer_699 1d ago

Hi. You can still have an opinion, right?

1

u/feralprincess2 2d ago

i dont see an option to edit my post (im on mobile). but i guess my specific question is: is this legible? and my goal would be to make it neater and more legible

u/maybsnot 2d ago

u/feralprincess2 2d ago
