What Does Your Handwriting Look Like

Also, from a while ago. These were written quickly at note taking pace. I am a kid, just trying to improve. Thank you for your samples everyone! They are really interesting to study.

 

 

I found it fascinating that you describe yourself as 'a kid', because I instantly assumed that the writer of these lines was an elderly gentleman - because it is so very similar to my father's hand. May I ask how you came by this script - were you taught by your grandparents, or at a very traditional school, perhaps?

... it is actually rather drawn than written

 

Writing, all writing, is a form of drawing. No matter how well or poorly done.

You're right - wast majority of writing is technically either drawing or painting. But not quite all: I occasionally carve or cut texts (into wooden sticks, with the almost forgotten Hungarian runic 'writing'). In my native Hungarian the etymology of write is actually akin to 'painting or decorating' and definitely not related the process of recording information in the runic script. Another exception maybe South American knotted quipus (as long as recording numbers also qualify as writing - a assume not everybody agrees to that ;-))

Actually that is a very good question with a long story. If there is intrest I will start a thead in a few days telling how I developed my writing with examples from the past several years.

I'd be interested, for one.

At the risk of being judged argumentative, it has generally been held in this forum that handwriting is not drawing, e.g., some hands, such as Engraver's script are drawn whereas business hands et al. are written. The processes are sufficiently different as to justify separate labels. So technically, at least in some discussions, not all writing is drawing. Quality has nothing to do with it. Just because two activities use many of the same tools does not mean that they are the same activity.

 

In the 1970s, a Stanford Ph.D. candidate killed his faculty adviser with a hammer. The act was probably not well described as carpentry or metal working (it was a ball peen hammer).

This seems like a good place for a first post... Hello!

GClef, you are still scaring me with the BIC brigade. .....

Is it not funny that the person using a "normal" pen is the strange one here? Imagine if it was like this everywhere, where the people with a 2 cent BIC is the one that stands out .

It looks far better with a fountain pen than any other writing instrument.

Bautiful handwriting, it just shows you dont need to spend a lot of money on a pen to achieve nice writing. I'm really trying to improve mine actually

Anna, I really admire both of your styles; flex or no flex! I especially like the shading of the ink in your regular handwriting sample - would you mind sharing what sort of ink you were using? Thanks!

Hi btw what is the second ink your using, looks kind of burgundy colour, I really like it
