do you write with your wrist planted down or hovering above the paper?
Not trying to glaze but this vid is literally a cheat code to learn spencerian without wating time, thanks!
When your handwringing is so good that your teacher thinks you printed it so you get an Fail :D
That's when you sit down and show them in person what you're capable of.
OmG that's so excruciatingly hilarious 😝😂
Wringing? Holy shit
when your english is so bad that there's no way they would've understood your wringing regardless
Not D
You need to say E
😂😂😂😂
This is THE BEST Spencerian tutorial I’ve seen. No words needed. Thanks to your video I’ve been able to see details that matter. You also chose the best music to go along with it. Thank you so much for sharing❗️
I tried to copy it completely. I found out that the small c is incorrect, so I tried to search elsewhere. It's very nice, but watch out if you want to be very good at >using< it to quickly write: the hand is held incorrect etc.
Fantastic
Handwriting hs no longer being taught in Colorado schools. So I got the Spencerian teaching set and helped her learn in 8th grade. She is so proud of her beautiful hand, and she was the only one in her classes who could read and write script. This is a national travesty, to stop teaching this art. It builds confidence and I believe, increases intelligence.
Your writing exhibits commendable quality; however, your pen grip and the restricted use of only your wrist rather than the full motion of your arm detract from the overall effectiveness of your technique. This aspect is particularly critical for Spencerian script, which was designed and taught to enable individuals to write swiftly and fluidly, emphasizing the importance of graceful, tension-free movements for achieving its characteristic elegance.
Interesting! However, I am left-handed, what would be the best way to write Spencerian?
@@MierdaAzullol...with the full motion of your left arm...
Finally, a video that connects all the disciplines together. I have been learning for a couple of weeks and I was mis-interpreting the letters in the Spencerian book. You made me recognise the leading into and trailing out of each letter, now I can interpret the words in the book correctly and I have re-started at book one again this time proper. Also the spacing and fractions of the letters you wrote was something I was missing, now it’s all connecting together. From the countless videos I have watched from becoming addicted a few weeks ago yours is the best. Thank you for your valuable video :)
For the basic strokes write out a whole page of each one. It’ll improve it a lot better than a few times then jumping into words. This is the biggest part of this script. You need your strokes to be consistent which means making it muscle memory
Writing out a whole page in one hit is counter productive. Boredom will set in after a couple of line, then sloppiness set in. It is better to do a line or two regularly.
@@margyb7469 I feel like a mixture is a decent approach. Learning is different for everybody but I see a lot benefits to just absolutely grinding something out in the beginning until you are good enough to enjoy practicing.
Guitar for example- when I was learning, (taught myself while at uni), in the very beginning, I would pound our 4 hour sessions of literally just trying to make chord shapes or picking individual strings consistently. You’re right, there were times where I would get absolutely sloppy- but almost infallibly, the next day when I have a fresh head and do the same practice routine, it would be noticeably easier.
You ever slam your head against a level in a video game, rage quit, and then come back a few hours later and nail it on your first try?
@@willrummell3670 Absolutely!
That's very true.
Really appreciate
Omg! This is how I was taught cursive. Now wonder all my life people liked my handwriting!
I've never thought id be moved by handwriting
Composing it through his writing, I believe.
This is how I learned to write at school as a 6 year old. I still write like that. That was in 1983/4.
I am mesmerized. This is the cursive I was taught in school but with lines instead of graph paper. My handwriting is nowhere near this lovely but it’s good enough that I receive the occasional complement. I, too, learned with a fountain pen. I wish I still had one. This is a wonderful tutorial.
Bro got mw writing English+, thanks.
You are not normal for me
Salute to your patience ☺️☺️
¡Beautiful calligraphy!. I want to buy spencerian exercise books to practice this Christmas. At the moment I practice with beautiful videos like yours. Thanks for your tutorials!
Thank you for your time and effort hone in making this video 🙂
My pleasure :)
@@TheNormalHandwriting can you help me about handwriting...?
@@TheNormalHandwriting Could you please tell me what kind of nib is necessary for this? A flex? A stub? A fine/medium/broad?
@@rigvedrane I think this is a normal M nib but moved around in certain way to create line variation
@@AyushRaj DAMN, that's hard work and determination
Спасибо!
this is exactly what my soul needed. thank you…
Thank you for this video and the time and effort that went into making it, so relaxing ☺️
Very helpful since i have the five copy books . but it's nicer to get the correct angle from the paper your using than trying to get a 52 degree angle . Plus you really get into the detail about things like the spaces and things so i can't go too wrong Thank you very much !!!!!!!!!!
Thank you. The video itself is a piece of art.
And the student becomes the teacher..... Nice music. 🖋🎼🕊
Thanks :). I've been practicing so far and really enjoy it 😄
Connecting stroke ~30 degree letter stroke ~ 52 degree. That’s the heart of Spencerian penmanship
Maybe someone already wrote the same comment but, in France, that's how we learn to write in school. ^^ Not so italic of course but same shapes and same proportions.
Such a satisfaction watching this beautiful beautiful calligraphy
IT IS SUCH A VERY SAD SHAME THAT THE CLERKS ARE NO LONGER PRACTISING THIS BEAUTIFUL ART AT REGISTRY OFFICES ANY MORE. HAVING BEEN BORN IN THE EARLY SIXTY'S, MY BIRTH CERTIFICATE IS WRITEN IN A LOVELY FLOWING HAND, WHRE AS MY TWO CHILDRENS ARE VIRTUALY SCRIBLED ON A SCRAP OF PAPER.
why are you screaming
@@smncl-mu5rt ✨ passion✨
As a 26 yo getting into penpalling I'd like to encourage you to see with whom you can enjoy and share these traditions. ❤️
@@smncl-mu5rt So sorry, I'm not so much screaming, I am however very saddened by the lack of absolute pride in a person's work, such as scribeing a piece of historical paper work, a birth or Marriage certificate.
@@PeeWee33772 I suspected. I've had issues being misunderstood when the only options I know are lower case and uppercase. I think bold and italics can be done on UA-cam but I've never looked up how... I think I'll do that now.
But seriously, I've already allowed one high schooler (a student of my sister's) to be inspired to write to loved ones, without even trying. She plans to start a penpalling program between her school and another. I was just happy to do something fun, I mentioned it to her, and doors opened. The old traditions are definitely something we can keep alive!
And I like combining with today's knowledge too. Since my penmanship needs work, I'm going to scan the letters so I can send a recording of me reading them, if necessary. And if I fall off for whatever reason, I can text/email/call and say, "I'm still alive, a lot's going on, don't worry." Or they could check in, since for safety reasons I'm only penpalling people I already know. I can get to know them in a whole new way!
Amazing calligraphy! Great tutorials!
First strokes outlines the letters triggering the final strokes to signify the whole argument underneath unspoken letters. Turn out pretty load n clear. 👍👍👍
thank you for the video -- is there a part 2 for this? also interested in seeing your body / paper and arm position if possible :)
Hi Victor :). Yes part 2 will be coming in October
Your handwriting is gorgeous!
Thanks :)
Nice handwriting
it's not handwriting, its calligraphy
Love it
This video is really helpful for me. I'm really really interested in the handwriting with fountain pen so much.
Thank you for your sharing
Thank you so much, greeting from Chile.
And, I am over 70 years old and have focusing issues. I was unable to write complete words and distorted the last alphabets of all words unless I did that slowly and with extra concentration. But after practicing this for two days 30 only I am able to write complete words with little distortion.
Keahlian anda dalam menulis font kursif dengan tangan anda sangat luar biasa hasilnya.. saya bisa banyak belajar dari anda 👍🔥💯🙏
This is really a great time being watched this video.
This is how I learned to write in school. I must be getting old...
You helped me alot , God bless you 🙏
What's the background music called? It's beautiful, so is your handwriting.
Music please?? Beautiful!!!
It is a good video. However, I saw way too much lifting of the pen for a writing system that was designed so that each letter and word can be written WITHOUT lifting the pen, or pencil (with the exception of dotting the lower case "i" and crossing the "t."). Grip seemed a little off for this writing style as well. Then again...what do I know?
Yeah it's not spencerian writing, it's "drawing" the letters without following any of the spencerian recommended grip, hand position, arm / finger / combined movements, missing the flow, she uses her palm instead of the last two fingers to guide her hand etc. So it just looks good but has nothing to do with "writing", it's drawing.
@@adampapai939 do you recommend any channel on here for those aspects
when you're making a vintage themed birthday card for your friend and thought you could change your handwriting in 2 days
So beautiful
So amazing ink pen writing
I’m am impressed by your handwriting but I’m not sure about the way you hold pen the as the exact way taught by spencer.
It isn’t. Nor does it use arm movement. A lot of people are getting the wrong idea of the speed and ease of writing this script with arm movement. I’m a beginner, but I feel good knowing I’m learning it the correct way.
@@krishnaswainpiano4129 do you think it is more helpful to use pen hold position and arm movements taught by Spencerian than you’re style?
@@krishnaswainpiano4129 I too am a lover of this style and I have started with basic exercises.
@@konstantinoren412 It is easier to use them with Spencerian Script. For my other calligraphic stuff, I use my normal tripod grip.
I always have trouble distinguishing the lowercase n and u in handwriting, so that “mmmmmmm” line practice thing might be the thing I need in my life.
Excelente. Sabe y sabe cómo compartir lo que sabe.
This is how we were taught to write in school
How about " j "
Does anybody know the name or the author of the background music?
This is the cursive they taught me in school. Somehow I made it look hideous 😂
I developed a heavily modified version for everyday use
I appreciate this content thanks for sharing
I too love Spencerian style....just practicing the 45 degree slant and trying to keep letters in proportion has improved my handwriting drastically. Can't wait to see more...Is this paper regular 1/4 inch grid like graph paper? Thanks for teaching... :)
spencerian is exactly 52 degrees
@@macabredisguise4852 Thank You.. .
@@macabredisguise4852 Yes I was about to write that 😃
Wonderful writing. What is this music?
amazing!❤️❤️ Thank you for helping me get back my school days cursive handwriting😊
I have a small question. Can you please tell how to avoid the loops forming in the tails of p and heads of t strokes when I write at medium speed? If I wrote very slow, it's fine but if I write even a little faster, loops start forming in the upper heads and tails of letters.....
great!!!!!!
Great tutorial.
I have been using graphite for my arts for along time. In October, I decided 2023 I want to go back to ink.
As others have pointed out, yep I can draw.... But I'm, my penmanship.... Is not note worthy.
I think it is a natural thing coming back to ink, and then thinking, "Why does my handwriting look like chicken scratch?"
Great paced displaying, on graph, with do's/don'ts. Feel like I am in second grade learning cursive again.... Wait, how do these connect?
THANKS
Beautiful!
Istg it is so similar to cursive we learnt in school
Brilliant
Can you do the alphabet from a-z and possibly in capital letters?
You can find the video for capital letters in my Spencerian playlist :). I have the link in the description box too 😊
This is such a beautiful video. May I ask what the music is please?
That pen grip gives me cramps from looking at it...
Lovely writing though
I get the same feeling watching many people try to teach piano. The wrist, you know? The elements in this video are fine, but that grip chafes. Still, nice enough.
Super nice!!!

Hello! Thank you for these tutorials, they're wonderful:) just wondering what would be a good quality yet good value pen you'd recommend for a beginner? I'm going to start learning cursive penmanship from your videos!
Pilot Metropolitan, $16-30 and grab some refillable cartridges so you can save money by buying your own ink!
I recommend the pilot Kaküno with either some cartridges, or a pilot Con-70 converter with a cheap bottle of fountain pen ink!
Is the square block 5*5mm in size? In Bangladesh, Rhodia Notebook is not available. If you could confirm the size, I can buy other notebooks of the same block size.
TIA.
Amazing tutorial, but I think you forgot j. Or have I overlooked it?
🙏🏿 But where is lowercase “j” within the groups?
Great,
I'm interested in the Spencerian style, but I'm not sure if I have to follow Spencerian instructions about arm movement or my usual hand position to achieve the goal.
Please advise.
You definitely have to learn and adjust your grip and hand / finger movements. Wrist should not move. Look up "new spencerian compendium of penmanship" pdf and learn how to properly sit / hold the pen / sit / and finger + arm + combined movements. It'll take time as you have to re-learn everything. what you can see in this video is unfortunately "drawing" the letters and not "writing" spencerian. So they're spencerian letters but they're not written the official way, they're just drawn by the original poster. So if you really want to learn spencerian, you have to properly learn everything. If you just want to do calligraphy and make the same shaped letters, you can copy the original poster, but that won't be "spencerian writing", but just copying letters by drawing the letters... which is not the case what you want. If you were to take notes using the speed she's using, it would take 10 minutes to finish a sentence. Which is hilarious for "writing" speed.
Anyone know the name of the piano composition ? Very melodic ! :)
May I ask the title of music played in background

How do you rest the hand so that you can move it along the word?
the 1874 manual says the dot for the i should be one full space above?

everyone: WELL TIMMY IT MEANS A UA-cam VIDEO HAS NO DISLIKES BUT OVER 200 LIKES
Oops! Don't disclose that 😂
@@TheNormalHandwriting i cant promise XD
Not actually a very convenient way of holding the pen. The script is designed for a more fluid way of actually grabbing the pen, not unlike chopsticks.
What is name of this all piano music

Gratitude thanks very pleasing and comforting music!
What size graph sheet is that? Thanks!
Can you please add a link for your fountain pen. Thank you :)
Nice writing but that pen grip (death grip, lol) is 'unorthodox' to say the least.
Try searching double-jointed fingers if you haven't heard about it ;). It's just different structure of fingers
What paper and pen is this @The Normal?
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The treble on this piano has to take some Qualudes…
I thank you very much for this help. I am wondering how to find the paper that you list Rhodia 80 g/m2 the sites that carry Rhodia do not seem to respond to that question in the search. Is there another way to ask for the grid paper that you demonstrate with, please?
Can someone suggest a workbook to learn from basic strokes to a complete course in Spencerian script?
What's is pen and paper?
The SAD thing they dont teach this in school......
I used to have quite a good hand but times change
💙💙💙💙
This is both a script technique and an artform
What is this bgm?

Good luck asking for an extra 3hours in your tests.
In my 1980s, school demanded students to write like that, in my 1990s college demanded students to complete the quiz, test, and exam right away as time dues, no calligraphy accepted or professors mark paper zero grade. In my 2000s, job employees who gives the F cares we need you to write us simply clearly. 😂
