I find the uppercase D difficult in both Spencerian and  Copperplate script.

Here’s the Copperplate attempt (well, my 19th attempt really).

LOL… I laughed out loud at this. So real! And I agree - definitely one of the hardest (if not the hardest) capital letter. I also find capital E very challenging (go figure).

You did well with both versions!

@tiffany.c.a  Interesting to see the difference of a straight holder and oblique. It seems like you achieved much finer hairlines with the oblique.

@TeresaS - your consistency is on point!

Love that capital D -- it's my nemesis.
