Hi All!

First up here is part of a Psalm that I wrote out a few weeks ago with a fairly rapid pace. Used Pilot CM nibs in two Kakunos, one inked with Platinum Carbon Black and the other with a mix of De Atrementis Document Red and Document Orange, in an attempt to make a permanent-ish vermillion. Same goes for #3. Papers were Cosmo Air Light and Midori MD, I think, respectively.

#2 is a Copic marker with the broad edged calligraphy nib, written on some faux-leather.

I've been plateaued but just read Alfred Fairbank's great book, A Handwriting Manual, and so now have more of an idea of where we go from here. I would like to get back into larger forms and layouts and so plan to read "Layout and Design for Calligraphers" and focus on that for a bit. Thoughts?

Got a compliment on my handwriting from a lab mate today, but I’m still not convinced it’s great.

Recently, I’ve been trying to write more in cursive, especially when taking notes for college. I like how it looks, but I’m still not sure how readable or consistent mine is. These are some examples from my biology notes.

What do you think? Is it easy to read, and what could I work on to improve it? Honest feedback is appreciated!

Wouldn’t you know it … my first pen runs out of ink on the first word of third column ... had to grab a second pen to finish up the list.

I believe pens come with personalities that need to be discovered. This pen loves a slant and flourish.

I wrote that because I have an exam in 2 hours, I am in a political psychosis since last Sunday's 1st Round of Brazilian Election and I needed to get a way to clear the little mind of mine (ngl as a queer law student, I'm worried about my country's future).

So yeah, give me some feedback on my handwriting :)

(yes i am reposting with a non angular flat version, i didnt want the sun reflex on the whiteboard but there are guidelines i need to follow)

This is a write-up from over a decade ago.

I do scribble now and then, but my proficiency has taken a hit with age.

Is this common?

Any fixes to regain proficiency?

Thank you for your time.

I find Morning Pages to be very helpful, not only for my writing, as I like to write fiction, but with my journaling, and also, it keeps me in practice with my cursive. As I write more and more, I'm noticing subtle changes with my style. I have to be careful not to let bad habits creep in.

Does anyone else feel they have to keep an eye on their handwriting so they don't start slipping?
