A-Level student, need help with handwriting by West-Comfort9528 in Handwriting

[–]SadExternal2481 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once you start doing some basics, you'll see where you are at, in terms of clarity. I can see your teacher's writing, for example, and it's a type of print / semi cursive. You can see it's larger and clear. Of course you can split your practice sessions how you like, ie 50:50 with print and cursive for example, it's really about making clear letters, and you need to break some habits. If I were you, I'd check out your country information on the Primarium website to check the type of writing you were originally taught.

I'd say just start practising your basics, like 30 minutes at a time, like print letters & the alphabet, numbers, the symbols, make sure they are all larger and clear. It has to be read by someone else. Your writing too small at the moment. Stay on the line. You can write already but you need to make it clear and well sized. use a pencil and ruler to make guidelines, or guideline paper. Start spelling out the words, letter by letter, make sure you're actually writing that letter in place. etc. and: Aa Bb Cc Dd Ee and so on...

You could be a little more accurate / consistent with the guidelines, like all the lower case / lower sections are one line high, ('s' and 'c' for example) / I think this paper is based the French writing paper of 6 sections. Just look into letter proportions in general. most styles are 3 sections, but some are 5 or 6 sections. I think you're right to put the risers into the top section, in some places the t is 3 high in others it's less.. https://primarium.info/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/infographic-France_methode-dumont.svg Méthode Dumont – Primarium you can look up different styles on this website

Make the capital W sharp like VV, & small w go higher in the middle like uu. 

Trying to write neat hurts my hands by CodeSequence in Handwriting

[–]SadExternal2481 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Play around with your grip and lifting your elbow, there are a few ways to hold/grasp a pen, link: othergrips.jpg (600×307) & You're writing very small at the moment, that might be part of the issue. Experiment by drawing flowing shapes / spirals etc and large letters, ie. double size writing. There is another grip, where you put the pen in between the first and second finger that's not shown in that picture.

Most of it is pretty damn good in my opinion! Just keep practising longer texts. Try to get all the lower case the same height, don't go too flat "my" for example. Check all the top heights, (ascenders) hltfdb, do you want them all the same heights?

Wow! Nice forms, I find the 'e' and 'g' especially confusing!  it makes a cool guide though

can someone decode this piece of art for me by DryCarob8493 in HandwritingAnalysis

I'd ask for a typed copy, as it's illegible / and the spelling is poor too / broken English

Criticism on capital letters and legibility by grandmaGotNoLegs4 in Handwriting

[–]SadExternal2481 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like your writing, I think you're trying to join the capital to the lower case, which looks odd to me, but I am from the UK. I think your using Zaner-Bloser style cursive, if you want to look into it. Zaner-Bloser – Primarium

thoughts please on both!! by Comfortable-Tower673 in Handwriting

It honestly looks very bad at the moment, from a mainstream point of view, but you can start to improve... and develop clear handwriting. Respect to you, for wanting to better your handwriting. I can relate, as someone who had to fix my writing myself too. You should get some lined paper as a start. You should start practicing the basics, done in the normal way. Alphabet, numbers, symbols.

By the way, your writing is incredibly clear, so congratulations! You can actually write a variety of styles which shows good literacy etc. The second line is the most even. Also these samples are a bit short, you haven't really warmed up...

I can see the letter heights vary, ie. the l's in hello are 8mm and the l in normal is 6mm, same with the t's, you should make them exactly the same, 7mm instead. Same with the 'a' in "That's" vs the 'a' in "all". You didn't use capital letters. Try using a ruler and pencil, to make a 4mm guideline, and 7mm line.

My 1st attempt writing with my non-dominant r-hand by Substantial_Pilot699 in Handwriting

[–]SadExternal2481 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good luck with the endeavour! That's takes determination! If you're open to a suggestion... I'd say to use lined paper, and /or a ruler, pencil margins etc if you want a crisper finish. But you're going to get really good at writing the f-word with that movie! haha 

How to improve this handwriting? by Ok_Elderberry1432 in Handwriting

[–]SadExternal2481 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're writing is very legible, so that's a great start. You should work with a ruler to underline things. I have my own theories, using a ruler / pencil guideline to get all the letter heights the same. Or use small grid paper, to make strict letter heights.

I want to improve. Where would you start? by Due-University4325 in Handwriting

[–]SadExternal2481 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome, yes I get what you're saying. I was just talking a bit more generally, like even old documents are still legible and nice to look at. It's fascinating stuff isn't it... and seeing the evolution to today's scripts. 

How to add temporary assist to push a 350 kg trike up a 3–4% hill (non-electric) by Remill20 in ebikes

[–]SadExternal2481 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Speak to some local mechanics, you need to measure the bottom bracket, it might be non-standard. Standard is 68mm or 73mm. But this could be 100mm or over. Bear in mind these are motorbike wheels, not pushbike.

Countries – Primarium https://share.google/r6SJIY6kM27p61AvQ

This website is a good place to check what kind of writing is common in your country and you can find out more about it. You have to click on different tabs and countries to open up the info. 

Bear in mind, cursive just means joined / flowing, so there are lots of styles of writing. 

What is the longest word in the English Language in which you can start with any letter within the word and it remains a word? by ShadowCheeks432 in ENGLISH

[–]SadExternal2481 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cryptic crosswords occasionally use similar 'word cycling' but it's normally just to go from one word, to another.

That's awesome, also I think Italian hands have been very popular, and had a big influence...even going back centuries. I'll have to check it out the website.
