ben00000100 I'm happy you found them useful. Just remember that if you find yourself slipping into bad habits, just pull out a sheet of paper and practice. Even I have to do that from time-to-time.
Thank you for this. Over this past year, I’ve made it a point to give respect to the art of handwriting, and I have gone from chicken scratch (as I have always had for I never felt I could produce the beautiful handwriting I have always seen) to now being proud of my legible hand. I’ve even bout myself a relatively nice fountain pen and ink that I love, and suites me perfectly I must say. So thank you for helping to keep this art alive and available for all to learn and pass on. For if we don’t, I feel that technology will make it easier and easier to let it become a thing of the past. Without need, without care, without passion, and without love and respect. (Apologize for the dramatic nature of this comment, but I have discovered so much of myself in becoming passionate in my writing. I have always heard the phrase “The pen is mightier than the sword”, and I got the meaning, but I’ve discovered another meaning in this journey. I can’t thank the ones keeping this art alive and assessable enough. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.)
Wonderful videos. I'm 30 and have been writing the same cursive style since I was about 6. I decided it was time to try to learn a variation and your videos have been very helpful. Thank you from New Zealand!
7 years late but i have major handwriting problems and this has to be one of the best cursive patterns i’ve ever tried. made me improve a lot! my handwriting is finally a bit prettier and actually legible 😭
Something with these videos just clicked with me and now my handwriting has gotten so much better always wanted to be able to write in such a way through high school and university but always struggled these demonstrated how it’s possible and varying individuality between those writing styles glad to say it’s been 3 days and i have seen a significant improvement through the use of some practice sheets found in Pinterest
I noticed that his hand writing in lowercase is slow and deliberate but when making uppercase letters there is a noticeable difference in speed, much faster. Maybe attempting to be more fancy! Using a fine nib with a dry ink helps me slow down.
I must admit, I slowed down this video to 0.5 and copied the letters. The 'b, m, n and zed are similar to Palmer script. In your opinion, which handrwiting method is the prettiest (subjective, I know)
This is great thanks! My handing has always been horrible and I recently decided to fix it. I love this style and think it will be fun to learn and do. My question is what is the best way to practice? I printed off the sheet you provided but now I would like to work on combining that into words and start putting it down on paper.
Interesting. So this is basically my standard cursive but 1] don't close the p 2] go down but dont swoop back up for qyjfgz but you can swoop back up for p 3] don't worry about connecting capital to lowercase. Simple enough. Can i just say, using these few observations has turned my standard cursive writing into something straight out of a history book! Thank you very much good sir! And i do want to ask a question. Should i do the standard r as seen here in this video, or should I continue to do it the way i do my r's? I just do them like an n but i dont go down as far at the end before swooping up to the next letter.
Wahed Tinwala it's a sort of yes-and-no situation. No matter the style of handwriting, there is a speed where it starts becoming undisciplined and a faster speed still where it is illegible. Where that point is depends on the user.
I kind've improvised a little bit and I know there's a trick on making your letters slant by just positioning your paper to a certain angle and I accidentally discovered it by any chance but I think it's already discovered
I'm trying to find my 'groove' and this seems to be a great synthesis of 'old school' and modern writing. I'm using writing examples from Ames, Spencerian, Champion, and Palmer scripts to get the letter shapes I like. One thing, though- I have an overpowering urge to use the 'long s' in words, using the 'normal s' as a finishing letter! I got in the habit of doing that in my journal- kept in admittedly very bad cursive- and it's hard to break. Thank for this series of videos- I'm sure I will be referring to them often! (JS- 50 year old learning new tricks :D)
This is great, I downloaded your images for you fonts.... you wouldn't happen to have any this font I could install in word that would help me build practice sheets would you?
I’m a lefty so sometimes have trouble doing calligraphy and writing letters without smearing them. Sigh. Strange thing is I do everything else with my right hand.
So I've learnt there's English Roundhand which is akin to Copperplate and fits the letterform? I'm guessing the difference is using a firm nib, not shading on downstrokes, and not using an oblique nibholder? I was initially confused b/c there's another alphabet called foundational which is sometimes called roundhand :)
There is a lot of variation on the terms, but generally speaking: English Roundhand is basically the cursive from the mid-17th to early 19th centuries; Engrosser's script was the carefully written version of Roundhand used for more formal documents (not so say you couldn't do some fancy Roundhand that would put engrosser's script to shame); Engraver's script was basically the engraved and/or perfected realization of engrosser's script, which was typically engraved on copper plates which led to...; Copperplate being the flexible steel nib formaized version used for calligraphy based on the engraved forms. Roundhand is written, as it's a cursive longhand; Engraver's script and Copperplate are carved/drawn shapes; and Engrosser's script is sort of between those two: it's sort of written and sort of drawn. In terms of thin and thick lines, that's a function of the writing tool. Quills were often cut with a very small squared or oblique end (for longevity -- between 0.25 and 1.0 mm) that would give that variation, though pointed and somewhat flexible quills were also common as were pointed and stiff quills (which, in my opinion, are the easiest to cut). When metal nibs arrived in the 19th century, the result was a lot like what we have today: stiff, monoline pointed nibs, square-edge nibs, and pointed nibs of various degrees of active line variation. But like I said, the various terms are fluid depending on your sources. It's not like there is some long-standing academy issuing proclamations what names each script was to be called. It all just sort of evolved in that same messy way that the English language does. (Never mind that calligraphy and typography aren't always totally in sync with what they call things.)
Tip: if you someone like me who wants to make it exactly the same in the video you should not do that you can and should change it to better work for you like the capital B you can make the bottom hoop at the back smaller warning this is for people like me
Very nice handwriting. Love it. But I have downloaded your practice sheet, and in the first line, I see the numbers 2 and 4 noted. I live in Belgium, so the question: is it in inches or cm? just to know the size between the lines.
I just wanted to ask, if i dod want to join the tail of the y, j, q, p etc, would it be posible? It would certainly make my writing mum faster especially in this font
@@luvstrucked Hi! I found a chart of a handwriting style that I liked, and I'd copy it a lot, over and over. It didn't fix any dyslexia, but my handwriting improved a lot. I practiced the words and letters that were my most difficult. I started practicing years after I graduated from high school. Hand writing exercises are good too. Handwriting school work is always good. Good luck!
Idk what do it since I'm starting cursive since I wanted to write faster assuming I had gotten used to it but I see this beautiful cursive but the problem for me is either I'm really slow and I can't connect all the letters with this style bit the regular style though it's strings every letter it's were plain and ugly imo At this point idk if I should drop the style or stay
+nathaniel sharabi I'm not sure that the idea of cursive being faster is necessarily correct. Personally, I print legibly faster than I can write cursive I can read. Mastery will gain you some speed -- it's the nature of getting good at something -- but the goal with writing should always be legibility...otherwise, what's the point? You'll also notice that since I don't loop my lowercase g, j, y, or z, I don't necessarily connect ALL my letters in a word.
How is it possible that your letters are so thin, even if you use an M nib(I know that japanese tip sizes are smaller )? I have a Lamy Safari with an F nib, and my letters are fat. Is it possible that the paper I use is not good for writing with a fountain pen?
I am in School and I have to write many chapters and notes / exercises so can I write your writing to write fast??? And can I write with ball pen to make as your writing style?? Please tell Please reply
It's called a Linex 1007 Lettering Guide. It's not the easiest tool to find -- I'm not even sure it's being made any more. You're more likely to find the Alvin Ames Lettering Guide (it's clear). I think the Linex is superior, especially for ruling in metric.
Spec plays A "wall pen"? I don't think it makes much difference. I can write this way with pretty much everything (admittedly, I've practiced a little :-) ). As long as the thickness of the line your pen/pencil/crayon/whatever is matched by the size of your writing, it shouldn't matter much.

Simple yet elegant. Excellent video! I shall use this as a reference since I am rediscovering calligraphy as a newfound hobby!
