The biggest thing that changed my handwriting pretty much overnight was when I stopped "writing" my letters and started "drawing" my letters. I don't know if this helps everyone or just artists, but it really helped me. I went from having illegible writing to writing people have complemented. I even aspire to one day make my own fonts!
i like that idea!!
yes, DEF helps: ty
@@jmsl910 yay I was able to help someone!! You've made my morning, thank you!♡♡
Excellent idea. I will do that. I am not an artist but I am learning Handlettering and Calligraphy and this seems to apply. I will use this.
@@paranoiarpincess i'm sure you helped MANY followers w that tip! not everyone chimes in
thanks again 🤍
THANK YOU! what a lovely tip
I do the same thing with "stealing" people's handwriting. In 7th grade, I "stole" my English teacher's lower case "a." I have also "stolen" my cursive lower case "f" and "r," my cursive capitals "A," "M," and "N," and am currently keeping an eye out for cursive capitals "I," "G," and maybe "W."
Another tip for making handwriting look awesome: invest in a Pilot Metropolitan fountain pen with a the stub nib. It has been the best $20 I have ever spent. Super easy to write with and it gives handwriting a calligraphy "vibe."

I love the idea of printing off a tracer page in a font you like. So simple but I've never thought to do this!
Now I need to see how Becca writes her "M"!
Everytime I watch one of your videos I am amazed: you are an incredible teacher. The words you choose to explain certain things and concepts not only make them accessible (which is crucial), but also motivate to learn more. In fact, not only do you help me to develop calligraphy skills, but also give me more and more insight into a learning process itself.
Thank you so much for that, and by the way, I can relate to your “M” story😉.
All the best,
Greetings from Vienna, Janette
My greatest tip is to know which pen makes the flow easy. I use a circular triangle shapes pen. It has help tremendously, never going back to circular case pens
Love from Nigeria 🇳🇬 ❤ I'm done with the basics and I have started writing words. I am just going through your video recommendations in my email.
I have always done this!! I thought it was just me! Ever since I can remember I’ve loved anything to do with letters and handwriting. Mine is such a mix of everyone’s! LOL!
I could have written your words myself. It is exactly the same for me. The process of handwriting has been a life long ‘thing’ for me. As I get older, I’m in my late sixties, I find that pen control is less consistent now. Having gone through Becca’s calligraphy classes, I’m finding that they have helped. I just love it all. I was taught a type of italic writing when I went to high school aged eleven, so all this more fancy writing is such a different thing for me and it’s such fun! Taking ideas from other people is great. I have saved so many styles on my calligraphy pin board in Pinterest!
WOW!
Thank YOU !
Keep up the good work!
As an elementary student I used to get straight A's EXCEPT in handwriting and there I would get a C. I just could not improve. Later in life I found that I was typical of many people with ADHD. My brain is somehow wired in a way that makes some tasks extremely challenging no matter how basic. I have recently been trying to practice my handwriting but I had no system. Perfect timing on this video!!! Thanks so much!
Finally! I was waiting for this one! Thank you for the tips!
Oh Becca, I expected to hear about cursive! I forgot how young you are (or how old I am!). My writing used to be legible and I was proud of it. Over 30 years of computer-writing, I lost all muscle memory. But I will find (especially) a capital "L", that is embarrassingly the first letter of my name. I will slow down and be intentional in my writing. I will write it a hundred times on a blackboard. Thanks Becka!
I understand what you are saying. I am really bad at my upper letters S & M which are the first letters of my first and last name. I am also not good at lower case m and n and I have 3 "ns' between my first and last name. I am practicing and am seeing improvement but not where I want it to be. Becca's videos are always helpful.
What I love is your Block Lettering
Your storage set-up in the background is just 😍
Thanks Becca! ♥️🖤
Definietly echo the 'practice' one! Not just deliberate practice (with sheets/tracing) either. I've been bullet journalling for years now... approaching 5 I think? and my writing is so much better than it was because i make an effort to write nicely in my journal. Not because I *have* to, but because I *choose* to. I change things up every month. Over time, I've seen how other people have written letters or numbers and changed my own to reflect what I've seen. and this goes for calligraphy/handlettering as well as handwriting btw... your journal is a great place to practice both - judgement-free!!
Please make a video on how to join Capital letter and small letter in simple calligraphy
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
LOVE this! Thank you - I really enjoy looking at how folks write. Drawing letters makes sense!
Becca, very good tips, however, I learned the Palmer method and for me that's what I use. I know this is not taught anymore and my daughter writes like you do and I guess that's what her generation learned. I have noticed however, that since taking your semester of Calligraphy my handwriting has improved. With age (83) it has deteriorated some so I've been really pleased that it has improved due to my calligraphy. So, thank you!
Is cursive handwriting officially dead? I would call tracing those letters printing, not writing or is that nomenclature irrelevant now? I have found that after taking your calligraphy classes, I use some of the techniques in my cursive writing.
I had a similar experience noticing someone’s handwriting, especially with an uppercase M!! So funny 😆 I expected you to demonstrate cursive not printing. Thanks for another great video!
You are so great at connecting with people and teaching out!
At the end of the 70's I learned at school to hand draw technical drawings and we had to write everything by hand, and yes, the slower I wrote the better and more perfect became the text. I loved to do it. Far better than using a computer.
Made a sharpen handwriting worksheet before I started calligraphy so cool thanks again !!
Very great suggestions. Very simple suggestions that would never occur to many of us. Thanks for that.
BTW, thank you for this video ❤️❤️❤️❤️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️💕💕💕
I am not here because I have messy handwriting, I am here because I enjoy, and appreciate, your videos and watch them whenever I have the time every week. I just wanted to chime in and say that I have done EXACTLY the same thing with regard to noticing handwriting. I have told ppl I love their handwriting, specifically one or two letters or so, I have taken screenshots to practice someones handwriting (yes, I have even stolen an envelope out of the office trash can or two (pre- screenshot or cell phones for that matter) so I could take it for practice! don't judge!!) and I always admire good penmenship. I have even recently purchased a Palmers' Penmenship book as well. I TOO have a story that recalls noticing someones writing and it was in middle school (I am 53 yo!) and belive it or not, it was her lower case m's and n's!
...and here I thought I was alone in this and just a creepy scrawl stalker!! Turns out, I am but I am NOT alone!! YEAH!
Great Dad joke this week btw! Honeycomb? Hilarious!!
Thanks for all that you do....especially the really awesome freebies that always have the look and feel of top dollar items. Truly, thanks.
So simple advice but makes so much sense. Love it. Thank you very much.
I love these tips! I am totally going to use these tips for helping my 6-year-old to improve her handwriting. Thank you for this video!! :)
I still want to do calligraphy but my handwriting can certainly use some improvements. The internet came along and I forgot how to write nicely. 😂 Thank you for the tips!
✌🏻🥰✏️✒️🖋️🖊️🖌️🖍️📝😁
this is how i perfected mine....i took styles from all over and incorporated it into my writing...my signatures are never written the same way ever
Very helpful Becca. Thank you.
Thank you for this wonderful tips!
I feel like I have so many "different" handwriting 😂 some days it's legible, some days it looks like a 5 year old
These are great ideas. Thank you.
I have found that slowing down is a key skill when practicing. Could I trouble you for two book recommendations? 1) Pointed pen calligraphy. 2) A reference book on all/most letter forms and how to write them. Thank you for your work on your channel. I appreciate it so much. 😀❤️👍🙏😀
She shared some of her favorite books in a video posted on May 15, 2020. Maybe that will help you?
Thank you for this 🥰
this is SO awesome!!! ty🤍
Instant way to your handwriting looks better (not good, better) is to make your letters same height and to put same space between letters and words.
Thank you a million 😭♥️♥️♥️
Becca please do DIY video
Plagiarism has been my friend. Lots of good samples out there.
The worst thing that killed my handwriting was learning shorthand before going to law school.
So much note-taking in class -- and now when I write I often leave out vowels....bummer.
This is my mums phone And my name is Agatha, Waiting for this moment only
Thank you so much😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊 This helps me a lot Thank you so much😊😊

What if the problematic part of my handwriting is inconsistency. Like I consistent slopes and spacing. I feel like that's so hard to change or control
You forgot to share the M you stole... I am dying to know what it looks like 😆
Marilu...I want to see the M too because my name is Michele🤗
Me too, since my surname begins with ‘M’
Me too! Me too!
Me too!!!!!!
Me too 🙊
Where is the other video located, I didn’t see a link in the description.
This is all very good to know, even though this is more "printing" and not handwriting, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who is dying… BUT WHAT ABOUT THE M??
What size letters do you down load when practicing a new font?
What pen were you using in this video? I searched the comments and description. Thanks!
Now I want to see that M!
please one more vdo for my hand writing how write good in exam
I find myself bouncing between r and R from time to time
I'm laughing because I thought that I was the only person that copied how other people write certain letters. I changed my cursive writing to a writing/printing way of writing by copying a junior high teacher. That was 50 years ago!
Yes, I did the same thing! About 45 years ago!! :)
I did the same thing when I was 14, my principal used to handwrite the names of the students on the report cards. I love how she wrote my name, I copied it many times and that is how my signature came.
Awesome 1 st to comment!
Whenever I see printing, I think ‘second grade’.

This is really hand-printing rather than hand-writing. If you want to improve your cursive writing, you have to ditch that horrible, unergonomic round-hand that so many schools still teach. It's based on engraving styles and breaks down at speed. It's also ugly and not very legible. The solution is to learn a cursive italic - it's a far more natural and pleasing hand. It took me about two weeks to make the transition and I'd never go back. There are a number of good workbooks available.
