We've gotten a ton of requests for how to write like us, so we hope you enjoy this tutorial! We're also working on a cursive tutorial, so make sure you're subscribed. If you have friends with messy handwriting, share this video with them!
Can you also make a video about water colour painting must haves or just painting in general, like best water colour brushes, paper, and other things we might know about? PLEASEEEE Thank you so much!
I forgot to mention in my own comment but this guy was great! These last few videos recently have just made me smile so much. The humor is great! 🙌 You can just tell how much they love what they do 🥰
Another tip that might help (especially for students): Practice writing both fast and slow. Not many of us can spend an hour taking notes. So understanding the time limit is key.
Exactly! I got Getty and Dubay's book _Write Now_ , which is targeted towards adults, and it dramatically improved my handwriting. In school, I only learned ball-and-stick printing and looped cursive. It was drilled into us so hard that I never tried any other method. I went through college taking volumes of notes in looped cursive. It was almost unreadable. I switched to Getty-Dubay Italic, and now I write faster and more legibly.
One recommendation from Getty -Dubay is that when doing joined writing, you don't need to connect every letter. If you naturally connect some, it's fine. They don't all have to be connected in a word.

Remember everyone, your writing doesn’t always need to be clean and perfect, it depends on what your writing, if your writing notes for an exam that no one else is gonna read with little time or a lot of notes to write in less time it’s okay if it’s messy as long as you can read it, mean while if your writing on something others are going to be reading it’s best to try keeping your handwriting neater and easily readable.
Great video! When I used to teach elementary school, we sometimes would use a slant board to help kids with their writing. An easy way to do that is to use the cover of a binder with the spine turned away from you. Perfect angled area to write and binders come with varied spine widths so you can use a 1" or 1.5 or even 2 inch binder or larger.
You brought back *memories.* My parents built me a special slant board to use in school. Thank you for reminding me of it. It was an impressive piece. A normal clipboard would velcro onto a slightly larger plank of stained wood. A pivoting L-shaped piece was fastened to the back of the plank. When in the lower position, the short end of the L was at the top of the board, giving a shallow tilt. When in the raised position, the short end would lay flat on the table and the long end would support the board, giving a significantly steeper tilt.
Yes I do have that same thought on every listing you have that requires to show your penmanship. A couple of weeks ago I dl-ed your calligraphy worksheet! Very fun
Very helpful info. Find inspiration: Though I print alright, thank you grade school drafting course, I still have a whole folder on my desktop dedicated to screen shots of other peoples handwritten study notes. It serves as inspiration, while also feeding into my addiction when they display them with the pens used. They help motivate me to practice my handwriting and it's so satisfying trying to duplicate them, or create something different. Lol, oh and not to mention, but it all gives me the excuse to buy more stationery.
My current handwriting is because my old handwriting was messy, and my teacher had pretty handwriting, so I copied it, and it has been my handwriting forever, with a few small tweaks.
I was watching highlights and I arrived here some how. Never really knew any methods, I used to copy my sisters or one of my crushed handwriting when I was a kid lol. Glad I found this, I’m going to use this info to work on my sons handwriting this school year lol 👌
Hey thanks for the tips man. Me as a lefty I found different ways to compensate. And I actually find tilting the paper to the left helped immensely with flow and structure etc. And yes the key is to slow down.
I’ve enjoyed these videos and agree that slow purposeful practice is important. About 20 years ago I chose to write better both with print and cursive styles. I learned to lightly grip the writing instrument and use my whole arm to move my hand. My hand rests on the writing surface and since I use a gentle grip, my hand ‘wiggles’ on the relaxed side. My hand doesn’t tire and I write more consistently. After a few years I could write notes while just glancing at my progress. I’m always trying to find the perfect balance of speed and consistency.
Having grown up on handwriting worksheets based on Futura, I’ve always taken inspiration from fonts instead of handwriting. My current handwriting is based on Cabin and Clearview. I’ve modified my handwriting from these fonts to avoid letter flipping, using exit strokes like what Raleway font does. (Letter flipping is something kids and some adults do where letters like b, d, p, and q get mixed up.) My goals now are to conform my handwriting to accessibility standards with optimal character heights and stroke widths.
I want to have a nice handwriting but then I noticed if I do write nicely, I feel like I'm writing slower and I hate it. Feels like I'm forcing myself to think slower too
I have two major styles. What usually ends up in my notebooks is a tight, scribbly, high speed chickenscratch that breaks most of the rules in this guide. And $deity help you if I'm using an ultra fine point. Meanwhile when I'm writing up something more important, like an official report for work, I'll slow way down. The sharp, narrow style is still there, but it obeys MOST of the rules laid out here, and looks FAR better for it.
For hand printing "inspiration" you can also choose a font from a writing program like Word and print out the alphabet or the combinations like in the video. It can be hard to choose one though lol. Eventually I ended up going with "Aharoni" because I liked it the best and wasn't too complicated.🙂
going back to school after the summer holidays in a month or so and I’ve been needing to neaten up my handwriting since junior school. hoping this helps!
I love taking notes with one and paper for class but my teachers always go so fast so usually they tend to be messy but I've been trying to find a way to combat this. Currently I've thought about writing all my notes digitally during class so that I can organize them on paper later.
As a Calligraphy teacher it may sound odd that I recommend a three line grid for blue-print upper case, try it. Also a tutorial on Arighs running hand for italics is a wonderful script to learn.
I use to have really nice printing.....bcuz I had a strict teacher in grade 3 (or whatever grade I was in at the time lol). When i got to Hight School, thats when my writing got sloppy bcuz I had to write fast, before the teacher would erase all the notes on the board. My printing is ok now but it could always be better lol. Same thing with my handwriting. I usually handwrite in my journal that way I dont forget how to do it later down the road. I have noticed some letters have changed. I see ppl writing capitals differently then how i was taught lol
Another great video! Thanks! I'd be interested in how to write fast and still write neatly. I take most of my notes during meetings which I am also chairing so I have to write fast enough to keep up with the action. One thing I do, though, is to go over my notes after the meeting with a different colour pen and rewrite words that are so badly written I won't be able to figure out later what I wrote - then I have my original notes in blue and my neat writing alongside in green.
Here in the UK, we have a pen called the Uniball Eye, its fine and doesn't leak but the ink is nice and wet and flows perfectly and the best thing about it is you can use super light pressure and it writes perfectly. Costs around £4 for a pack of 3. I am practicing with a Biro until I get better so as not to waste precious pens lol.
Okay, I am in 4th grade so at school we are not allowed to use pen will a pencil work as well, also this other girl in my class has a nice handwriting and like her "F"s have a nice curve at the top is what I'm kind of looking for. Can you make a video on how to make your numbers better?📝 Could you maybe also make a video on how to make your letters a bit smaller, mine get too big.
Yh. We really need a video for cursive. My handwriting is nice to a lot of people but I feel it can be better and this video is not for cursive handwriting
I work on airplanes for a living. Ok I also lease out a property in California. But anyways everything we do in aviation has to be printed out in conjunction with an inspector. You would be surprised how many people can’t write well. Barely legible. I keep having to tell them your brain controls your hand. Writing neatly isn’t easy but it’s not impossible. One can always try. Cheers Bill
as a person who's been writing in cursive since 2nd grade i want to switch to print and let me tell you my handwriting looks like poop but these tips actually help tysm!
I have changed careers and my printing on the whiteboard for students is horrible after writing in corporate America. I need help and practice. My goal is to get better for the next class.
My biggest problem in writing is that i write the capital one in normal size and always make the others way smaller. When i try to make my writing bigger, it really look bad. I do could make my writing in normal size yet look good, but only when i write tittle which the capital takes two lines. Is there any advice? My hand writing is eligible for me, but it will become a problem for someone who can't read small size writing. In online learning I also have problem to capture photo of my written task because of how small it is written. I always afraid that the writing is too small to read by the lecturer from the photo
Print writing is slower. I've being print writing most of my life but I don't like it much now. I feel a need to connect certain letters for better flow but I don't know how to do it. I would like to learn cursive writing. At least a combination of both cursive and print that smoothly flows through my hand.
one time my house caught on fire cuz of the roofers. They were heating up a piece of metal and that metal got so hot it heated up the insulation which created a small flame. fire lasted for 40 minutes about, it was some what truamtuzing and that was the second fire I witnessed that year in one of my homes. (parents divorced I have 2 homes) anyways really loved this video.

Getty-Dubay italic penmanship resources are the best. We turned a whole school around using this program.
Exactly! I got Getty and Dubay's book _Write Now_ , which is targeted towards adults, and it dramatically improved my handwriting.

@@476429 I know!! It's like magic. It is an excellent program and very adaptable to your own personal style. I'm so glad you found it, Arandor!
@@476429 I did so too!
Slippery smooth paper: great for cursive writers
Papers with more grit: good for block letter handwriters
One recommendation from Getty -Dubay is that when doing joined writing, you don't need to connect every letter. If you naturally connect some, it's fine. They don't all have to be connected in a word.
After watching a ton of jetpens videos my print has slowly evolved into the exact same font they use
CARE TO SHARE PLEASE....
Me too.
This should be required viewing for medical school
actually, the messy handwriting doctors use is intentional, so its better not
@@kepalaxs Why is it intentional though?......
@@btsarmyforever3816 My theory is that if a patient happens to get addicted to a medication, he/she wouldn't be able to source that medication illegally; since the doctor's handwriting is so illegible.
@@daniellewardd i can't remember the real reason but it is true to prevent like something illegal to happen
I wouldn't be so sure. Prescriptions are written that way because they're in shorthand.

I've been studying this videographer's handwriting for months I'm so glad they finally came out with this!
Almost all their vidoegraphers have the same handwriting.

Yup same 🤦♀️
same lol
im just used to write like that
You write sideways?
@@gamenyte more like down to up, i have actively tried to fix it it doesn't completely goes away.
Same 😔
One thing I always struggle with is how long or short should my ascenders and descenders so that they don't go all the way down to the following line.

thanks! I really needed this 💕

My problem is I write fast and messy right but small as so when I write in grid it just looks WAYY to spaced out
My biggest problem in writing is that i write the capital one in normal size and always make the others way smaller. When i try to make my writing bigger, it really look bad.
I do could make my writing in normal size yet look good, but only when i write tittle which the capital takes two lines.
Is there any advice? My hand writing is eligible for me, but it will become a problem for someone who can't read small size writing. In online learning I also have problem to capture photo of my written task because of how small it is written. I always afraid that the writing is too small to read by the lecturer from the photo
Thanks bro my handwriting is now very good
I may have missed it, but is there a guide on writing numbers with this style? I currently use the Palmer method.
