After @Victor.S’s thread on artwork and my remark that my handwriting was different from the sort of brush pen lettering I did, I thought it would be cool to see handwriting comparisons!
I think handwriting reveals a lot about your personality and often try to guess how someone’s writing would be like. The forum is all text, so I really can’t tell
Grab a pen and some paper and fire off your best handwriting vs how quickly you can write the sentence
The sentence is “the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog”.
You know what I just realised I had not written anything with a pen on actual paper for quite a long time. All my notes at work or home everything is digital on my phone or computer.
@jdnicholas I had to rewrite it too as I got nervous and wrote “the quack”
@j06 thanks I want to make my k look more elegant/ fit in better but it often slows me down. I’ve given up I used to write a lot, but I’m out of practice now as I’ve not had a lecture in awhile. Your handwriting looks a lot like an authority figure tbh. I’ve seen a few. Like a teacher or a cop I’ve never seen 'g’s written like that.
@glasgow I read the first line and thought it wasn’t too bad, you were too harsh on yourself… and saw the second. It is unintelligible😢
Thanks! I think what I’m most proud of my handwriting is my capital P’s which you can only write if you’re left handed because it’s a very unnatural wrist movement for right handed people #golefties
It is grand one of my friend does calligraphy as a profession and she’s a leftie- it’s tough work! I love capitals R L G and lowercase l t f. They’re so fun to write! Do you have a fave letter?
My handwriting is atrocious. Always has been and it’s got even worse since I left school. Rarely write anything. When I do I end up writing in capital letters so it’s legible.
Not great, but I’ve never had good handwriting. As I now have to teach handwriting, trying helplessly to be neat in front of 30 pairs of critical eyes daily, I decided to improve my own handwriting and have been practicing a specific style I researched in 2016. Its unsurprisingly hard to change your handwriting!
Mine is so bad my teachers used to joke I should become a doctor because nobody could read it. Luckily since the advent of computers I’ve not had to ‘write’ anything that anyone else needed to read in… gosh… years.

My teachers took a more violent approach. It didn’t work, my handwriting is appalling.
So here’s my second attempt for both!
