r/Chinese_handwriting

i would like some feedback to my handwriting, I wrote the same passage twice but the second passage I tried some semi cursive writing too

Hi guys this is my first time trying to write Chinese with random characters on my first day learning the language. I’m going to commit myself to the language this summer so I want to know if it’s too bad from the start. Each box here is 5mm (0.5cm) wide so I guess I tried writing in boxes much smaller than the standard that caused worse-than-usual results (I heard the usual width is 8mm-12mm). I suck at proportions it’s like I’m completely blind for it—especially for characters with boxes. I don’t know if this info is relevant but I also have an innate lack of skill in drawing. Seeing people in this sub with an inborn skill at handwriting I feel quite incompetent. Do you think my writing is okay for a first timer or is it hopeless? I have a feeling it’s the latter I mean it’s very easy to tell… Do you guys have any special tips for me to improve it? Thank you so so much in advance!

my characters look like knock off legos when i dont write on my dot grid notebook. i dont know do they construct the shape without the guides. btw just got this dip pen, one dip can write a hundred characters or entire page, quite nice.

一颗开花的树 by 席幕容. I've always been told my handwriting looks too kiddish. Pardon the mistakes

how do you write the character ngo / I? i struggle with this character every time i write it, btw i cant remember 80% of the shape so i just copy off my screen 🥺
