@neriah Katja - I suffered from a very similar block when I was learning Copperplate. I believe this is because one's understanding of the script progresses at a faster rate than the control one has. Taking a short break helped in my case but then I had been at it very regularly for more than a few weeks. Your situation might be different.
To be honest, you are not going to make all the letters perfectly all the time. Allow yourself to make mistakes - it is quite o.k.
Also, the words you submit for evaluation should be your best work - you are not required to produce them all at the same time. You can pick the best ones from a whole page of practice and just submit those.
I was asked to write out a few words in basic Copperplate for an ink label recently. I filled 4 pages with a dozen attempts before I was happy with the execution.
A couple of notes about your practice:
- The blob on the 'r' and the 's' should be teardrop shaped and should taper out before it hits the waist line. It should also go a little higher. Yours are flat on the left side.
- The shaded stroke of the 'r' should come a little more to the right - it is too close to the hairline stroke.
A good way to practice for the 's' is to make a few upside down 'c's - draw the letter 'c' upside down and then turn the paper around to see how it looks. It will give you a better feel for the stroke I think.
Keep at it - your script is already quite mature, we are just polishing it up at this point.
