GENERAL STUFF
I am retired from two careers of primary school teaching when I was deputy head of a Middle School and Primary School, and as a self employed Chalkboard Artist from 2002 until I reached the grand old age of 65 in 2016. Since I retired it’s like a second childhood but with more expensive toys.

I play guitar and write songs and have written about 14 songs for the local BBC radio station. I run a weekly (weakly) evening Acoustic session at a local pub and have been doing so for 14 years now. I also started an afternoon acoustic session in a quite large cafe in Nuneaton. Both premises were former songwriting clients of mine.
Much of the music I use on this channel is taken from epidemicsound.com free to use on RU-vid for a reasonable monthly fee, and sometimes I suffer you with my own music.
Gear that I use:
DJI Mavic Mini Drone.
Iphone X for camera, generally front facing so I can see myself in frame. Super quality especially if I keep the lens clean.
Gimble is a Q2 Smooth by Zhiyun, I ought to use this more often because it was expensive.
Canon G7mk2
Rhode videomicro mic with iPhone (if necessary in the wind)
Rhode videomic to do voice over on computer
Video editing with Final Cut Pro X
Polarduck Mini Tripod for mobile phone. This is so good and under £10.00 I bought two.
Lamcou bendy leg tripod
Tall Tripod is a Velbon CX 540
Mono pod is a Manfrotto Compact MMC3-02 and is very useful for getting high angles that look like low flight drone shots and so easy to carry on my bike along with the mini tripod.
Money from ARTWORK SOLD will go to the MONA FOUNDATION

I am a follower of the Bahá'i Faith and some of my philosophical ideas may show through in comments that I make, but, by and large, I’ll not make direct reference to my beliefs.

I also enjoy gardening but lay no claims to have any expertise, and you might catch me out in the countryside of Warwickshire and nearby Leicestershire on a walk with my wife or on a bike ride.
Please comment below to inform further plans for my vlogs. I’d love to hear from you. If you don’t you will just get whatever bubbly ideas float to the surface of my slightly muddled elderly mind.

What I love about the internet is that you can learn/improve every single skill of yours just by finding how to do it on the video. My handwriting looks just awful. It's great that I can find a video how to practice and make better such basic skill. Thank you for this video. Sorry if there are some mistakes, but english is not my native language.

I practice my handwriting every day by copying out a poem or paragraph from a book I'm reading. I've noticed that once I warm up and am relaxed in my rhythm, I see the letters as both parts of the word I'm writing and abstract shapes, simultaneously. It helps me focus on creating even, nicely formed letters. It's a very relaxing pastime!

Im 56 years old, my grandmother was the one to teach me how to write, she always told me to hold the pen or pencil loosely, never hold it tight !!! Someone should be able to walk past you and grad it out of your hand, my grandmother got great compliments on her penmanship all the way untill the age of 103 years old ! Thanks to her i get compliments all the time, when i do i always think " thanks granny".

Thanks Claire for your comments. I think before too long there will be a resurgence in the art of handwriting. I don't mean just very stylish calligraphy but a workable everyday handwriting. We are surrounded with so much computerised and lifeless lettering and type that we yearn for a flavour of the human. Let me know how you get on. Can you email me a photo of your fathers writing?

Well, would you look at that, a prophesy from 5 years ago currently becoming a reality. I think the main driving force of the reappearance of handwriting is the popularization of fountain pens, specially the cheaper ones that can actually write very nicely and are quite durable despite being in the under $5 bracket. I used to hate hacndwriting until i decided to get a fountain pen, got a really cheapy plastic one just for a picture of me signing a certificate and i thought i would just shelve it afterwards. The cartridge it came it ran out in an hour. Today i own a Jinhao X750 and it is one of the 5 objects i would save in a house fire (computer and phone are not in that list, my Sheaffer ink is though), my handwriting is still not great but now that i love the feel of the nib on paper it became legible, just from enjoying the experience i improved it.

Enjoyed watching your video. I learned how to write at around age 4 and remember using handwriting workbooks where I'd trace over the dotted lines. During my middle school years, my class teacher made it mandatory for all students to write with a fountain pen. I'm forty five now and have recently started a fountain pen collection. Watching my favorite colored inks flow out of the pen and onto the paper is very therapeutic. I'm a kid again.

I, too, have recently fallen down the fountain pen vortex. Ink as well, but mostly cartridges. I don’t buy anything over $30.00 but still have way too many. I am writing more letters and notes, even writing to folks I’ve seen on TV. My mum is British and her handwriting is like calligraphy. My dad, too, had exquisite handwriting, so my writing was always about correction and perfection. I do write beautifully, and as a retired teacher, it was a valuable asset. It is very relaxing to write.

Your video just made a ton of difference almost immediately. I cannot thank you enough! Also, the test involves handwriting an essay as well, so hopefully this will help me perfect my skill by the time I take the test.

@werbnnerf

So after a month of practicing my best advice is the following for adults: Get a fountain pen immediately. Not only does it help you improve, but you don't have to press as hard, it allows you to relax, and there is less pain in the joints due to strain. I have written for hours with my fountain pen; just 20 minutes on a ballpoint or even rollerball gives me pain.

What a lovely tutorial. I've recently purchased a fountain pen and this seems like an excellent place to start. While any writing material should be used appropriately (and I say that any pen, pencil, marker, or brush can be used to make beautiful words), I believe it takes a certain reverence to write with an FP. Thank you very much for the great pointers!

I have always had a horrible handwriting. My elementary school teachers tried and tried and tried to help me improve, but to no avail. I started using a fountain pen many years ago, and still rushed while writing. Illegible would be an improvement over what my handwriting used to be. Then I found RU-vid. The first thing I learned was "Slow Down" while writing. My handwriting has gotten a bit better. I just found your video from July 25, 2013. Thank you for the lesson. I will definitely look at your website and download the tutorial. By the way, out of all the fountain pen sites on RU-vid, you are the very first to write the "Quick brown fox" quote correctly. Everyone else says "jumps" over the lazy dog. I learned it your way! Thank you!

Thanks John. I have to add that handwriting is slowly fading out as communication tool but it is also coming back for an increasing number of reasons: 1. proof of life. 2. boost brain activity. 3. boosts positive thinking and creativity. 4. Less distractions when you only have a pen and a paper to interact with. 5. Modern computers is coming back with remarkable success to handwriting as an input method. 6. it is fun and relaxing activity. 7. most people seriously consider it as a hobby but some take it as a profession. Thanks for the beautiful lesson John.

Handwriting is almost a lost art. The children in America are no longer taught cursive handwriting. I am an adult and never really developed a beautiful handwriting. We have to write fast if taking notes from a speaker. Most writing is text, computer, email. So the idea of speed pushes me, and makes me nervous, handwriting is sloppy, and most times I cannot read what I wrote! We go too fast! There is no time to write beautiful and legible. My dad, now passed, had the most beautiful handwriting I ever saw. I tried to copy it, but never able to get it. He wrote small, but not so small you could not make out letters. He had a way with long words too. He sometimes wrote 3 letters together, than 1 or 2 letters separate, but manage to attach them in a way that caught my breath. It was his own art form. He did not always write a letter the common way, but you always knew what the letter was. Now I have fountain pens, because they are artistic in writing. But I haven't got my own handwriting down yet. I know I need to practice more, and time can be a bugger! I did find your tutorial interesting. Thank you.

Now thanks to my past I'm easily able to learn calligraphy, and always write in cursive.

My that what I mean is that I have always been very tense when writing and almost using my whole arm for the movement (which always results in rocking the table considerably!). My movement have also always been very jerky. Within two days of practising I am now writing just like you demonstrate and have now mastered a much more flowing style with a much better "rhythm".

Thank you for this video. I am an old man and remember at school being taught to write using a pen and ink. This discipline helped me to learn to write well as we were marked down for blots which made us control the pen and ink. I really did enjoy those lessons as it was an art. However, since that time I have lost the strength in my hands as evidenced by examinations where my hands have hurt for days afterwards. It has been on my mind recently to step back and enjoy writing letters again and just enjoy the art of writing well. Until your video, there seems to be only calligraphy out there but you have corrected that. Many thanks George

When I was in grade school in the last half of the 1960’s, I began in a Catholic school. First grade, only a pencil with the wider lines and chunks of wood in the paper. Somewhere into second grade, we began cursive. Fountains pens only. Everyone. I remember the doing the O’s. Mine were all different shapes. Ver the years I tried the O’s many times. They never improved very much. My Sister said my handwriting looked like a chicken had walked through ink and walked across my paper. She was right. It took me decades to figure out to s-l-o-w down. Decades. Not kidding. Into my 50’s (not kidding here either) I finally figured out some things, which you explain beautifully. Now have my own style, and that chicken is back in the coop. When calligraphy pens came out where you could find them everywhere, I decided I should give this a go, and found the spirituality you spoke of as I wrote. It helped my handwriting, because of the very fact that I had to s-l-o-w down. You gave sage advice, sir. Well done.

When I was in Mrs.s Harwoods multi grade 1st & 2nd class, we began the basics for cursive, and were expected to have mastered it by the end of the two years... Handwriting always intrigued me, especially because my father's was always in all capital letters. He says this is because he went to a private school that made him learn how to write like a "drafts man". Keyboards have been around for a long time now. It's safe to say my typing is better and faster than my long hand. I grew up with a keyboard in my hands (MSN, AOL IM). I truly will never forget the first LOL message I received via IM. OH HOW TIMES HAVE CHANGED...........

Thank you for the video. I was pleased to see your style was a combination of traditional cursive and printing. Most videos I have viewed on improving handwriting use traditional cursive that we learned at school a long time ago and discourage a printing mixture. I intend to follow your style as I find it more logical and doable. Using your slower writing speed immediately improved my script. I have always used a fountain pen as I found my handwriting was much better with one rather than with a ball point. Recently I bought a flexible nib fountain pen and found that also improved my handwriting. I am experimenting with the rhythm you advise although that is not natural to me. Also thank you for the music and the link to SoundCloud.

Hi Bruce, thanks for your very kind comments. I'm glad to see you are making some progress with your handwriting. A good pen is not essential but very helpful. Glad you connected with the music too. All the best. John

Quite surprised with your choreography John, especially as you taught that was a little bit mixed up, I liked it though it's relaxing somehow. You're very skilled. Your passion for this art is clear from how you demonstrate your new pen :) cool vid.

Another noticable thing is the paper is at an 45° angle. It helps moving the hand up to the right (more natural) than trying to go perfectly straight to the right.

Hi Haven, I bought it at 'Art in Action' Oxford. from a pen maker. He makes the bodies not the nibs etc, but they are lovely to write with.

@John Neal :: Thank you! This is a lovely tutorial to start improving my handwriting. I was looking for ways to improve my writing. It's become so bad that I can't read it myself - blame it on my laptop and smart phone! I hardly write a para in a year! I just want to start writing by hand - think I've relied on electronics long enough - especially when I want to connect with friends - so there's that personal touch. Lets hope I get better!

TY John for this as you are an amazing teacher. I have just been diagnosed with "essential tremor". Like parkinsons, but not fatal and not as severe, but my hands are very much affected. Due to this, I had to relearn how to touch type and that is getting there. Most days I can type 30-40 wpm. Before this issue, I could type around 40, so things are not so bad. Now I find myself in need of relearning writing with a pen a paper. To this end, your video and your teaching has been helpful. Where I just watched the video, I don't have a great success story yet, but I am determined not to let this physical challenge stop me from enjoying life.
