If a lot of people say they have trouble reading your handwriting, you may need to change it. For that, do some of the following tips or you can simply practice writing letters. If you want to change the form of writing, you need to practice more until it works.
Step
Method 1 of 3: Making Changes
Step 1. Choose the right ballpoint pen
Everyone is free to choose the most suitable ballpoint pen, but in general, choose one that flows smoothly and is easy to hold. A rather large ballpoint pen usually makes the hand feel more comfortable when used.
Step 2. Practice writing patiently
Try to write slowly to get good results. Handwriting will be messy if written in a hurry. If your writing starts to get sloppy, take a deep breath, calm down for a moment, then start again.
Step 3. Maintain correct posture
When writing, get used to sitting with your back straight. Don't hold the writing utensil too tightly so that your hands don't get cramped.
Step 4. Write in the air
Instead of writing with your fingers, this method trains you to write by hand to improve your writing.
- Raise your dominant hand and use your forearm and shoulder to write large letters in the air. This exercise helps you identify the muscles needed to write.
- Continue by writing the letters in the air, but this time the size is reduced.
- Use paper. When you first practice writing on paper, make simple shapes, such as circles or slashes. Make sure they are evenly spaced to look neat and use your arm muscles as you would when you practice writing in the air.
Step 5. Don't press too hard
The paper will tear if you press too hard. Instead, lift the tip of the pen slightly so you can write smoothly.
Step 6. Practice every day
Set aside time to write by hand every day.
One of the tips to keep you practicing is to keep a daily journal. Write down everything that happened during the day or how you felt
Method 2 of 3: Correcting the Font
Step 1. Pay attention to the shape of each letter you write
Are certain letters difficult to read or poorly shaped? Practice writing the letters in the proper form. For comparison, look up the correct letterform on the internet.
Step 2. Write in all capital letters
For a while, practice writing large letters. This way, you can determine if each letter is written correctly and can be corrected.
To make it easier to write larger letters, use lined paper that is widely spaced
Step 3. Pay attention to the size of the letters you write
The top of the letter must be the same height and the bottom of the letter must be the same length.
- For example, the bottom of the letters "g" and "y" must be the same length and must not touch the line below.
- Use a ruler to check the length of the letters. You can see if a letter is shorter or longer by placing a ruler above or below the letter.
Step 4. Pay attention to the amount of space between the 2 words
The distance between words should not be too wide or too narrow. Leave a space as wide as a lowercase "o", no more.
Method 3 of 3: Changing the Font
Step 1. Remember your school writing lessons
If you want to change your handwriting, you'll have to learn to write again from scratch. The method is the same as what you learned when you started learning to write.
Step 2. Choose the font you like
Find a font you like on a fonts website or computer program.
Step 3. Print all the alphabets (uppercase and lowercase) in the font you like
As an example to practice, also print out sentences that consist of all letters, for example "My friend who suffers from universal xenophobia is very afraid of the people of the peninsula, for example Qatar".
Start practicing by writing slightly larger letters, for example using a size 14 font
Step 4. Use thin paper to trace
Place thin paper over the letters you have printed and follow them with a pen or pencil.
Step 5. Proceed with copying
After tracing all the letters a few times, start writing sentences while copying the shape of the font you like. That way, you'll be trying to figure out the correct form of the letters.
Step 6. Write down all the letters yourself
Try to write all the letters as closely as possible without looking at the printed font. Even if it's not exactly the same as the original, you'll end up with a different handwriting.
Step 7. Practice writing
You'll need to practice as much as possible to be able to write in the font you like. As an exercise, keep a journal or write down the items you want to buy using the font. Over time, you'll get used to writing better letters if you practice diligently.
