I use fountain pens exclusively and take pride in my penmanship. I also love my Apple Pencil - it lets me use and practice my skills, and is a very good approximation of several different types of nibs. Even my older Wacom tablets weren’t as good.
- dorchadas 8y agoAny tips on improving penmanship? Mine has always been absolutely horrible, which stinks as there's lots of things I prefer to write out by hand. Most things, in fact, unless it needs to be electronic.
- samatman 8y agoLearn a different script. Right now you know one script: whatever scrawl you learned as a youth. Pick up something else, preferably a print hand rather than cursive. There are a ton of options! Here are some examples: http://medievalwriting.50megs.com/scripts/scrindex.htm http://medievalwriting.50megs.com/scripts/scrindex.htm A print hand lets you focus on correctness. Once you have some confidence, if you like, you can tackle another cursive hand, such as Spencer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spencerian_script https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spencerian_script
- dorchadas 8y agoI'll look into those, thank you!
- LyndsySimon 8y agoI started by changing my writing drastically - I wrote in smallcaps for a while, until I “forgot” my handwriting, then started over.
