Looking really good in terms of formed letters. Now start spacing them out more. It will be easier to read. Paper is cheap. ;D
-
The lines that appear vertically on the left edge of the papers are particularly good. Terrific progress in such a short time.

Thank you @AAAndrew. I was trying for a compressed form, and practing for a more smoother connection. And yes, the grid paper abosorbs so much ink and bleed crazy. The Esterbrook 920 with the upturn nib EF was graceful.
Thank you @AnasaziWrites. Sticking with forms and using only the horizontal lines as guide, my hqnds we more freely expressed.
Can I go to book 2 Artistic Writing yet?

Ooooh - lovely! I love seeing your progress, too. :)

Thank you Erica for the encouragement.
I will take a few more weeks with this script before moving forward....and getting comfortable with an oblique. So strange using an oblique, it's like learning a new language. It looks strange, and feels strange. It forces me to use only Whole Arm Movement which throws the who progress into the trash...but I think I found a way to use some finger movements after 10 pages of only drills.
Here's today progress.

It gets easier the second times around. I might need a third. Still not comfortable yet.

I never dove into this; but my how your writing/progress is making my heart rejoice this morning. I gotta laugh at self because I remember something YOU advised me many months ago: "try italic". Last year somehow italic came across my path and I wondered if it would be a skosh easier to pick up pleasing results than I have had with Copperplate? I commenced to purchase a set of Pilot Parallel pens, and promptly placed them on my monitor shelf here in front of me. Oh, and a couple instruction books (Italic Way to Beautiful Handwriting" by Fred Eager and some other book that I can not locate.

Lovely work and great progressing.
