    Loved this handwriting video!
    I have a friend who only writes in Caps.
    Non-stationery ppl don't understand that there are many variables to consider when writing. For me, the neatness depends on my mood, the pen I use, how long & how fast I need to write down the information and where I am writing it. That's why I have so many different pens.
    The "correct" way to hold a pen is almost the way you are going to click your fingers with your thumb and index gripping the pen while the top rests in bn the curve of the index & thumb with your 3rd finger supporting the pen from below. It's called a tripod grip.

      My mom writes in all caps (said she started in highschool...teacher was dine with it as long as she could prove knowledge of "proper" writing). The letters that are supposed to capital are larger than the others, kinda like hoe cyrillic alphabet does it. So the lowercase letters are just miniaturized capitals.

  • @libsyates2426
    @libsyates2426 2 года назад +12

    I think one good way to start if you want to change your style is to just change one letter at a time. I started with curling my lowercase g's and y's in elementary school, and never made any changes until middle school where I started trying things like crossing my q's and changing around my uppercase Y's. And then in high school, I added a few things to my l's, t's, and s's and I practiced for like 8 months to add those to my normal handwriting. It's a slow process but whoever is reading this, you got this!!

    Referring to your comment about mixing Upper Case letters with lower case letters I also do this. I have done it for so long now it is just a natural thing. I don't even make a choice it just happens. People tell me that for a guy my handwriting is beautiful. They can't get over it. I tell them it's because I do not write my letters I draw them. Great Video. You are 100% correct, Don't try to copy someone else's writing. You will just frustrate yourself. I do however like how all your letters are uniform in size, I believe this is why your writing looks so neat! I honestly think that keeping them the same size keeps everything uniform and tidy. And tend to think of this as more of a personality trait than a writing style. You like organization and routine, This shows this in your handwriting skills.

    ive noticed that the automatic switching you do makes the length of the letters fairly uniform while also being biased towards the letter case with guide points (ie. uppercase R has two legs that both sit on the line so you can match their lengths, whereas the lowercase r has a stroke that hangs on the tip arbitrarily). it's a very condensed and pretty look. i likely won't do it for myself but i think it's lovely

    I think it's great you called out that you sometimes use caps and sometimes use lowercase, with no method to the madness. I also think its interesting how you make a capital A without lifting the pen, you cross it with a diagonal instead of a horizontal bar, which is like an efficient shortcut.

    I really wanna improve my handwriting cause.. i'm the only student in our class who does good notes with highlighters and detail stuff...
    So instead of doing notes like all of my other classmates does.. i still try to make my notes better and neater. One thing still wrong with my notes is my handwriting 💀
    So these tips gave me a start 😃 tyvm! ✨

    Hi Helen. I’ve already started the worksheet. I wouldn’t say I have the neatest handwriting but I do sometimes wish I wrote smaller. The challenge sentence doesn’t include an “s”. I think if you change jumped to jumps you’ll then have the full alphabet. Great job and thanks for the worksheet! 👍❤️

    My biggest tip--use your thumb on the pen along with two fingers. Your thumb has so much more strength, so the pen will be more stable and you won't get as tired. You also don't have to grip the pen as hard. More stability = more speed and less fatigue. :-)

      @@robloxoceanicairlinesccs6149 it may feel funny to you but it’s actually the correct way to do it. Mechanically, ergonomically, etc. think of your thumb and two fingers like a tripod. On my third finger, though, I don’t use the finger tip. I rest against the side of my first knuckle.

    thanks for this video ! I found it very interesting as I noticed that depending on the country you are from, your writing styles and habits will be really different because you were taught differently ; I'm from France, and here, lot of people have learned to write in cursive letters before writing in script letters (for example, my teacher obliged me to write in cursive for the essays and homework I was writing for them), and so, a lot of people (including me) struggle with your kind of handwriting !

    XYZ sis said y'all on your own lmaooo, these tips are great, I didnt know how much of my not keeping up with my journal was because i didnt like my handwriting till I started to improve it. It takes time but people would be surprised how little, I could see improvement within a week. Of course you need to actively keep trying to improve and stay at that level and not fall back. But a 7 days habit of maybe 30 mins a day will defo make it so you're pretty much good for the rest of the time with occasional practice to get back on track if you feel like you're slipping up.

    I also randomly mix in uppercase letters, depending on where they fall in a word, without being conscious of doing it, as well as making all my letters (upper and lower) almost the same size. I hold my pen like you do and it baffles me to watch my granddaughter write with a grip that uses her ring finger and thumb to hold the pen tip. I'm like "how??" LOL The one thing I can't do is write as small as you do. I've always written medium to large size letters. I really needed to hear what you said about handwriting styles being unique. Thank you!
