Engrosser's script exercise

[Sheehan1]

I have been trying to learn Engrosser's script for a few months. Here is my latest exercise.  I made a mistake with the Brause word. I got confused with the connector between the R and the A.  I assume you connect at the top of the A.   I like this nib for its flex and fine hairlines.
I would be pleased to hear your criticism

One kind critique would be to line your slants. So everything stays consistent.

It's looking very nice!

If you have Eleanor Winters' Mastering Copperplate Calligraphy, you can see an example on p. 69 of that type of "r" connecting to an "a". She connects it at the top. I'm sure you could find an example in some other resources as well.

Here's an example of the linking of r and a

As you assumed, with the other type of r, the connection to the following a would be at the top.

I think that your lettering is very good. I think that all that is lacking is general consistency. Certainly, practicing on paper with slope lines as a guide, makes life much simpler.
