Were you inspired by the hand writing of any person

I am not good in mimicking other people's handwriting. Therefore, I am writing with my own style, which is readable but not so neat. I am very envy my friends who can write very tidy and beautifully. I just love reading their handwriting.

I was always interested in handwriting, bala, and that is what inspired me to perfect my own handwriting to the best of my ability. Through the years I have received countless compliments on my penmanship so I guess I succeeded. I can even change my style of handwriting at will. I'm probably good enough that I could fool a handwriting expert if I wished to do so. Just out of curiosity, do you notice any changes in your handwriting at different stages in your life?

My maternal grandmother was a very good writer. She was English, and I really admire the way the English write, not curvy like we do in Canada and the States. I have tried for years to try to write that way and have almost succeeded. But my writing is sort of a mixture, and it does not look that good.

Is that why you used italic in you post? Haha well, I guess I could say my handwriting changes from time to time, and some of it's inspired by someone's certain letter, might be from various peoples, or like a certain font on the computer, etc. interesting discussion ;] happy mylotting!

No, I was never inspired by any one person's handwriting but I must admit that I do love the calligraphy style of writing. Goodness knows my handwriting doesn't look anything like it though...but I have had some people tell me they like my style of writing...don't ask me why, it just sort of happened this way and has stuck with me all of my life...I've also been told that it would be very difficult to forge, thank goodness for that!

I use to admire and love the curves and slants of my teacher's...handwriting I wanted to write so pretty like they always did. But I was doomed before I started writing cursive. My print was already atrocious in first grade and started handwriting and penmanship classes in third because my teachers told my mom it was a sign of laziness-and they were right. However worried my mom was at the time was wasted. Because she discovered what I already knew. Bad handwriting is lazy handwriting-but it has nothing to do with the person's work ethic

I think I just learned to write in the way which was most comfortable to me. I didn't take a lot of note of other people's handwriting, as long as I could read it. Having said that though, I do like certain styles of handwriting, such as calligraphy and the old Italian style. Brightest Blessings, my friend.

Inspiration or not it was a compulsion in school for all of us to adopt chain writing[the italics you mean]. I have always been used to writing like this.I had a tuition master [an old man who was my father's insurance agent too and my father engaged him with the idea of providing some small side income for the old man] and he was very good in Grammar and handwriting.He was a wonderful gentleman who was a freedom fighter in his own way[he had been inspired by Gandhiji and was a great admirer of Rajaji and left college midway poor old soul and worked as an accountant in a bookshop].He made me write a page on a daily basis [bth English and Tamil and gave me regualr dictations to improve my spelling, and arithmetic for practice..I thank him and remember him with great gratitude when I write this.THat is why I insisted on the same writing pattern and good spellings and sums for my son and used to sit with him every day for all this.Because it was a compulsion to write only chain writing , my practice helped me a great deal and I was known for my good handwriting when I was in school and also B.A. . After that with post graduation when we had to write pages after pages, this suffered a bit .Once again, after a gap of 16 years or so, after I started taking classes in a big way, I used to make question papers , therby improving my handwriting too.Even now, I tend to think that I should start the practice once again.What with this internet, the chances are dwindling. I have gone into stories and substories as usual but , the word 'handwriitng ' brings my beloved old master to mind. I haveone more story to share but , it would get too much and you would skip it, so I am reserving it for later.

I got inspired by the handwriting of my father, who writes in a right slanted style and his joining of letters is just wonderful. I learnt to write from my father and I try to copy his style of writing and my hand writing is also slanted on the right side.

Hello balasri, When I started my primary education at the age of 7, we were taught how to write and we ended up having almost the same handwriting. Mine gets better from time to time. I love to see neat handwriting and whenever I came across someone's neat handwriting, I will try to imitate

When I was in 3rd grade, just getting the hang of cursive writing, I started copying the way the boy who sat in front of me wrote -- large, straight up and down, and I thought it was very nice. That was 56 years ago. I quit copying Vincent's style soon afterward. It just wasn't me I probably just had for Vincent.

To me,of course,yes! In China,Hand writing is art,we like calligraphic works,i feel them beautiful and give me inspire,you know,they are living,especially cursive style,we can know the spirit of the artists from those works.

I have to admit, I envy those who have good handwriting. But I don't follow their style, I have my own.:D

I was taken aback by seeing my friend's handwriting in 5th grade. My handwriting is poor. My parents and teachers would advise me a lot to improve my handwriting . But i looked the guy's hadnwriting , it looked like a printout material with no strikeouts . It is a gift for a person.

My father had a unique and beautiful handwriting ,but it was very hard to imitate. Maybe because he wrote poetry and he was an artist.

One personality will say instantly if you ask, Sir Albert Einstein. I used to come across his handwriting (in the copy of the manuscripts) published in his works, while i was in my college. Its so illegible and incongruous..as you know, but only thing i conclude is that after seeing his writing is that he tried to write at the speed of HIS thought,wanting to put things on paper before the thought ends.. A GREAT LEGEND.

Maybe that kind of handwriting is that kind of old teachers and old students whose writing is really an art. You know what, I admire those with nice handwriting and how I like them. To me good handwriting means that person is good and nice and wonderful. And most of them are real neat and nice. Look at those with nice handwriting they are nice people.

When i was in school.I used to like a girls handwriting sitting next to me.Though i cannot write like her.Even if she wrote one word in my book a home i would keep looking at the beautiful writing.I had a very good writing from school to college then afterwards it became a bit untidy.Now after lot of practice and hard work.I am able to write nicely and people are praising me for my writing.

I think I have a pretty good script/cursive, but I'm currently learning the Spencerian style of writing. Was inspired to adopt this when I was transcribing archaic documents at the National Archives. Oh, also loved Hannibal Lecter's penmanship, lol (registered it while watching "Hannibal").

I am inspired with my best friend's handwriting. He writes like a girl does! That is one of the things that make him extraordinary. Some of our classmates told us that we our penmanship are quite similar but we disagree. I guess we are the only ones who could see the differences. :))
