One photo is from summer, 2020. The other photo is before, during, and the end of Consistent Cursive course by David DiGiovanni.
Points I have found:
1) My writing is more legible at a larger x-height (David has us writing at 5mm).
2) Thickness of pen tip affects my writing with F or EF looking much nicer than .5 or 1.0 particularly at my regular x-height writing which is around 3mm.
3) Speed: When I write fast it is not pretty
. My goal is to acquire exquisite everyday penmanship which needs to include rapid note-taking, daily journaling and letter writing. With letters writing slowly is no problem and is preferable as I am thinking about what I want to convey to the recipient.
Bottom line: I need to keep practicing; not give up; write slowly continuing to develop muscle memory and C O N S I S T E N C Y!
Critique welcome. Please as a matter of fact. I am only seven months into this so by no means an expert.
Thanks for suggesting the visual
