Hey all,

I seldom ever come here. I am here not actually to learn to draw, but to learn to improve my handwriting. I figured this would be the best board for advice on this.

My handwriting has always been a crummy mess and I never mastered cursive in grade school. I actually want to improve my signature because it is quite amateurish (as in a bunch of scribbles).

What do you all recommend? Just drilling the alphabet constantly?

Huh! Interesting

Also if anyone wants to show off their handwriting feel free to. Many of my artistic friends have very expressive signatures.

I can see this applying to someone who is more artistically inclined and maybe writes by hand more often than other people. But in this degenerated age I can barely make out a sentence. my handwriting is terrible, and I can't see it reflecting my emotional states because I have no control over it, nor can I manipulate it to present an emotional state for the same reason.

I just see a need to improve my handwriting because 1. It shows competence and 2. Ive actually read that writing by hand activates a part of your brain which is not activated under any other circumstance. If I can find that article I will link it.

"Recent neuroscientific research has uncovered a distinct neural pathway that is only activated when we physically draw out our letters. And this pathway, etched deep with practice, is linked to our overall success in learning and memory."

American students were once taught cursive before they learned to print, with real ink and dip pens! Cursive writers also appear to use more elaborate visual descriptions.

Short answer: yes. There all kinds of books that will teach you cursive writing, and if you're inclined, calligraphy.
I was taught cursive as a kid - I can do it, but it takes too long for me, so I block print most of the time - i have a clean block print from studying it as a designer. I can do calligraphy as well.
The best way to clean up your writing is to slow down, and make a habit of slowing down and purposely forming the letter shapes. It's a bad thing for writing essays, but who writes by hand these days anyway?

I'm aware that Imgur.com will stop allowing adult images since 15th of May. I'm taking actions to backup as much data as possible.
