If I take a little time to print neatly, I can pull off the following (click for larger):

Thanks! I was looking for something to write and test out a variety of pens and inks and figured great quotes would be perfect for the task. I came up with that idea after I realized that I had written a section of a famous speech by Churchill so many times that I had it memorized:

 

"...Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and bear ourselves that if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say, 'This was their finest hour.'" - December 18. 1940

 

I figure if I can get a couple more to stick like that, my handwriting will certainly have improved in the mean time.

 

I do have a fascination with history and might start writing notes as I review. A perfect project for the winter.

I like stub nibs!.

My first flex fountain pen writing

(I should say I've used plenty of dip pens with flex)

Hi Vidalia, You show good examples of natural handwriting that I would consider to be a model to follow. You have some nice little flourishes in the 'Roundhand' example which I will try to emulate, thank you for your contribution.

Please tell me what fountain pen & nib you used for the "weather report" at the bottom! That's exactly the style I'm looking for in a pen. And if I were ask for a nib to be customized how would I describe that style?? Thanks for your help. Wickwack

I DO THE SAME THING! It does seem much easier to write like this for me. I've lately started writing in the top left corner and working my way down.

[Wickwack]

Yay watch_art!!! Funny isn't it? I can do it on lined or unlined paper. And it feels easier too than trying to keep my letters on the lines.

Greatly admire the sample on the left -- and it's already shown up some flaws in my hand that I can cure with its aid - any chance of some more please? beak.

PS - yes the same things often happens with me - must work out why this is.

Edit: PS added.

I also tend to write straighter on an angle! Do you all also happen to be lefties?

One of my aims this year is to develop a nice italic scrawl...what you see here is my usual hand. Sailor King of Pen F/M with Sailor Jentle ink. The pic done with same ink and a little watercolour.

 

thanks

Here's a pic of some recent notes I took,

 

 

 

Pilot Prera with a Fine nib, Namiki black ink

 

I really wish I could improve the legibility of my handwriting. =/

 

 

your notes are quite legible. wondering what class this is for. human sexuality?

 

 

Yegg, your writing is very nice.

 

Watch Art, your drawings are so much fun and your writing isn't bad at all.

This is a draft copy of a story I'm writing. It shows my normal speed handwriting warts an all.

Since being on this forum I decided to practice good examples slowly and see if I improve when writing normally.

So now is an example of a practice sheet for starters..

And here is something I found in a book called Script & Scribble..

 

Beautiful handwriting is of that value which cannot be bought or sold but is obtained by practice and application.

Magic. I read the story straight off without a hitch, so no probs there, and the practise page was a definite ' right click / save as' job. Congrats. Better than me by a long chalk.

PS

Could you tell us the pens, inks and nib sizes please?
