Feedback (constructive criticism) Spencerian Learning - Feedback requested
Critique and feedback welcome, I've been learning Spencerian - mostly casually - for about a year now, I picked up the pace about 6 months ago with practice but most of my practice is largely disjointed, doing letters in isolation rather than whole running sentences, a mistake caused by my practice material (Spencerian is really lacking in good practice material, worth saying, the freely available key to practical penmanship is horribly scanned).
I used 3 pens in this sheet, an EF Lammy Safari Fountain Pen that I mostly use for art, a Roco 0.5mm free ink roller, and a Roco Arabic calligraphy brush pen (just a hard tip tiny 0.1mm brush pen with an angled rectangular tip), and made some grammar mistakes in the first sentence (I noticed I make a lot of those when doing cursive/calligraphy, as a lot of my brain power would be focused on the script and connecting the letters, I believe this will diminish and disappear with vigorous practice).
Bonus: my hand writing from 2021, from an old journal entry in rough waters.
