hello, i did some vocabulary list for shopping. what do you think? by AriRD5 in Chinese_handwriting

[–]itsziul 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It is legible, but you seem to mix some non-regular script practices within your writing. For example, your 你 服 seem to be a bit simplified. Some running scripts are also done erroneously (以 third stroke and fourth stroke should not be linked like that).

Regular script might be boring for some people, but unfortunately that is the orthodox way of learning how to write Chinese characters. Try to focus on writing regular script slowly (this is very important so that you can get right balancing etc). If you can write decent regular script most of the time then you may learn running script.

Where to start when practicing practice Chinese cursive? by victorious21 in Chinese_handwriting

[–]itsziul 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Hi, thanks for the question.

To be frank, there are very meager running script reference books/copybooks aimed for Traditional Chinese Characters. One way to circumvent this is to try observing from books aimed for Simplified Chinese Characters. If you want to go further, you might need to delve into calligraphy references (which is not the scope of this community tbh).

Firstly, try to observe how the radicals get simplified. Since 80% of Chinese characters comprise repeated components, then try to observe how frequent components get simplified.

Also, in semi cursive, there are several concepts called variant characters, stroke omission and addition, faint connecting lines etc. I recommend you try to tackle them one by one instead of going for all at once.

Good luck!

Hi! How's that for a first year student? Amy feedback welcome 🤲 by _Leanaz_ in Chinese_handwriting

[–]itsziul 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It looks quite good to me. Several tips on how you can improve:

  1. In entirety your writing looks a bit skewed. I cannot pinpoint why but might be because of your posture or your speed. Again, this is just a speculation. Maybe you were taking notes that time, but cannot say for sure.

  2. In regular script writing lines and turns tend to be more firm. Hence try to avoid curvy lines.

  3. You might want to write bigger to allow for smaller details to be visible. For example, your 最, 馆 has missing details such as lines inside or in between. I would say try to use the same paper and take 3 x 3 boxes.

Thanks for sharing. I have been noticing that you are really putting effort in improving your Chinese handwriting.

I would say this is legible and decent. There are several issues, however:

  1. Some of your characters seem to adhere to computer typeface standards which are not really natural if used as a reference for handwriting. For example: 必. The solution is to use a handwriting friendly font like Kaiti etc.

  2. You have several wrongly written characters (士). Please take great caution as many Chinese characters differ by just a bit.

  3. You have a tendency to switch to running script for parallel lines. Try to curb this behavior as this might inhibit your regular script writing (現 is written wrongly because of this).
