What Does Your Handwriting Look Like

[moylek]

I've been out of practice for a while. I have to take notes for about 20 minutes before I can get things to begin to fall in place.

 

Interesting to see the effect of the nib size on your writing.

 

What is that blue ink, by the way? It's stunningly BLUE.

Here's a few shots of the journal I just started a couple weeks ago. I try writing a little in it each night .. sometimes it's mostly doodle.... writing nonsense, just to get used to using my different pens. My profile picture shows typical writing .. notes at work, so is mostly 'non-thinking' writing. My writing had been historically atrocious ... but when I slow down, it can be decently readable.

 

I didn't keep copies, but I actually wrote a couple 'real letters' of late. One was thanking a potential new employer for sending me a 'thanks but no thanks' letter. ;-) (most don't even acknowledge you apply, anymore...). Another was to Goulet Pens for sending out my Ahab and a couple nibs ... as the packer wrote a little thank-you-ish note on the shipping slip.

 

Fun thread. I don't feel so out of place now. My writing fits in with most here! ;-) Sometimes, barely readable when doing without thinking ('natural writing) ... up to beautiful with a little effort!!

 

Thanks,

Dennis

Interesting concept to use the lined paper to help keep your verticals lined up.... ;-)

Fred,

Your writing is beautiful.....may I ask which pen/s you used, especially for the flourishes at the bottom? Beautiful choices of ink continuance.....

I'm am a left-handed hooker underwriter. This is my typical handwriting with a medium flexible nib on a Conklin from the 1920's. The ink is Kensington Blue Diamine on Tomoe River paper.

 

(I neglected to take out the guide before I took the picture. It's a bit distracting.)

 

Let me know what you think.

[scmense]

 

Maybe kill 2 birds with one stone as the question I ask in my writing is something I wonder about.

Obviously, I need penmanship help. I used to have perfect penmanship in elementary school. And I was fairly good at 'Chancery Italic Hand' but then high school and college note taking ruined my cursive and got me started printing in order to take fast notes in class. The printing was not bad but with the internet and e-mail I stopped writing much except for grocery lists.

Now I am on a quest to improve my penmanship. I can't decide if I should take up 'Copperplate' or 'Spencerian Script. Also I am confused by what is being called 'Modern' or 'Contemporary' Calligraphy on the Internet. Not sure what it is exactly.
