Great improvement @InkyFingers ! Thanks for sharing.

I know everyone improved...does it seem a bit more refined?

Yes, indeed. Keep going.

Glad to hear it. Your continued progress is doubtless an inspiration to all who read this thread. It gives us all hope that through continued practice we all will improve on our shared journey of beautiful writing.
I might add, it is also interesting to see your pens. That's an interesting oblique in the last post. So "old school." It makes one wonder, who used it for what looks to be many years, and what did they write?

I'm obviously very late to this party, but another FF member had shared a link to the topic. As others have mentioned, it can be very encouraging to beginners to see. To that end, I am posting here my before and after ... to date.  Contrary to many of the "befores" I've seen here, I was barely able to write legible English or even simple letter "e's" at all, never mind calligraphy or even cursive.  Coming from that deficit, it has taken what feels like a very long while to get to today's new "before" and yet another starting place.

Welcome. Glad you found your way over here. You're not late to the party, as this party never ends.
You're showing big improvement.
