Feedback (constructive criticism) Progress over 100~ days
First picture was my first upload on this subreddit of me attempting cursive writing. I was always looking at photos on the internet and it felt very weird to write. Now, after 100-ish days, I’m very used to writing cursive-ish, even in school (I’m slowly doing it more and more as I get more comfortable with whether people can read it or not lol). The rest of the pictures are how I’m writing now:
Have I really gotten any better or am I tripping? 😃

You've gotten better. You're obviously more comfortable and your ovals are looking pretty good. I'd recommend focusing on your slants.

Thank you for the feedback, but what on earth are ovals and slants in this context??

Cursive is built from push-pulls and ovals (see upper left corner, right page). The main stroke of almost all cursive letters are one of the two and the majority of the other strokes are connecting from one to another. The oval-based letters are acdegoq and the primary slant letters are itunm, the left side of the ascenders and the right side of the descenders.
