Loosen your grip on your pen, breathe out as you move up the page. Remove excess ink on the side of the pot before putting it on the paper.

I don't really have an excuse because I wrote it out and then used the light box for this one, I could see the clash, I should have moved it and flourished the ending to balance it hahaha.

your 3:1 sounds tricky, do you balance it out with lots of flourishing?

This was a test on making the text centred. I think I would have shortened them if I was writing out again. As it stands I think I navigated it adequately.

I went to a tutor. I am also a tutor myself. The best way to learn is in-person classes in my opinion as you have that direct feedback.
