Thank you ! That website is going to be a fun rabbit hole. Your suggestions are a great help, because I was definitely struggling with the hwesta sindarinwa and the book example you gave helped me see the shape more clearly. The pound sign is a great suggestion and one I haven’t played around with before.

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.

 

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.
