I’m starting to get a feel for it

Hello! I’m a heritage learner who’s just learning how to write. I can read and type but hand writing is very hard for me. I’ve been practicing on and off for a few days now. I notice that after a little bit it starts to correct itself almost. I try to stop after each word to analyze what went wrong before writing the next one. The script im copying is 楷書. What are your thoughts? My goal is for my writing to look natural while also being as aesthetically pleasing

My handwriting after 6 months

My handwriting looks a little better when I use a fountain pen, but unfortunately, it doesn’t look as good when I use a ballpoint pen. Since I can’t carry a fountain pen with me everywhere, I still don’t feel 100% confident about my handwriting. 🥲

Learning for about a year, but never practiced handwriting. How's mine look?

I know my handwriting is worse than most of the rest of the posts in this subreddit, but I've never practiced handwriting specifically (although it's definitely better now than when I started). Could I get away with this? How might I improve it? And also, does it look foreigner-bad, or just messy-bad? Thanks!

Looking for feedback + tips on being less messy

I don't have the best handwriting in English let alone Chinese, but I usually follow stroke order. Would like to know how to improve my writing without sacrificing speed.

Update on my handwriting after a year

I know that i probably messed up some of the strokes and there's some inconsistencies but yeah this is my handwriting after a year.

P.S. The sentences I've used in here are random and based on the characters that I've been studying.

Handwriting feedback

Any feedback for how to improve? I know my handwriting is legible and clear but I just feel like it looks like a primary school student wrote it and not a grown adult. 🥲 Anything I can specifically work on to make it not look childish?

My version of 繁體字

My tutor and coworkers told me that my handwriting is not bad 😂😂😂. I was very surprised! I try to handwrite a lot to memorize the characters.

Tips to improve handwriting

Have been learning for a little over two years. I’d eventually like to write in running cursive script but want to be able to master regular script first.

Any tips on how to improve my handwriting would be much appreciated.
