I hardly ever write anymore but when I do, I write in cursive so I decided to try writing English mode in a cursive style. I’m sure there’s quiet a few spelling mistakes, but I was trying to practice with minimal tecendil usage. It’s making me consider following an actual penmanship book, maybe Spencerian, but it was a pretty fun experiment either way. Chose “somewhere over the rainbow” at random.

Very cool. Way better than mine! Did you write with a pencil? I've been doing it with a ball point and it doesnt look great. Although my handwriting is generally awful.

Yes I used a mechanical pencil, but I use very light pressure when I do upward strokes and add pressure with downward strokes. Basically trying to mimic the way you would use an old fashion fountain pen. It definitely took me a few practice runs to get into the flow.
