I like the Spencerian much better, but it might now be as practical as what I'm assuming is the Palmer method used in the second example. Thank you for the video.
Pure Spencerian is too jerky for me, I developed my own style of writing, Elements of Spencerian, cursive, and Roundhand in my made up style , It just suites me for sure.
Is it important to readjust your grip to the method used in the book to learn Spencerian, or Is that unnecessary (its very awkward to try and relearn the pen grip)
I was fortunate, I originally learned the right grip, it gives you a huge advantage to learn.. faster... but it´s not absolutely necessary... but I would start by adjusting my grip👍
I noticed that you lifted your pen up in between letters. I thought you were supposed to write the whole word in one smooth movement? But you words still came out beautifully nether less :)
Thanks, there is the variation of the Spencerian style called Business Penmanship that writes the whole word, but originally each script has its own stroke
It’s a lower case p as written in many older styles of handwriting where it starts with a long upstroke and the loop is left open. I’ve been making my p’s that way for decades but I don’t know when or why I developed that habit. When I learned cursive in the 1950s I was taught the modern way where the loop is closed.
So many time I'm coming across this video and I always have two minutes to watch it and often time to copy rhe beautiful letters
I wish I could write as good as you!

Billy the kid used Spencer style ironically

Very very nice👍
Thanks 🙏

so true! I find myself doing the exact same. Once I do it enough it just morphs into my style 😂

It isn't jerky if you do it right. In true Spencerian you don't lift the pen until you finish a word, so it's quite the opposite of jerky...

Me too dear
what is the last letter in each of those supposed to be? It kind of looks like an r.

Thanks for replying. There are really so many ways to write. Thats why many just print :(@@susanm1109
Why not close off the "P"?
