@freemo @calligraphy had to do calligraphy in school. Hated that shit. I got no skill for hand writing or drawing. If you need evidence of clear bio differences in natural ability then look no further than a 3rd grade classroom, some kids be out there drawing monalisa looking shit and then you have people like me that can't write a "T" without it being crooked, bent and fucked up.

My handwiting for most of my life up until a few years ago was probably worse than yours. Took me a **lot** of practice to get this far and I'm still nowhere near where the pros are.

I did most of it when i was still recovering from my broken spine and was stuck in bed all day.

Since I recovered I practice far less but thankfully I do it enough to keep the skill I gained and still slowly improve.

@zpartacoos @freemo @calligraphy
I do handwriting on very personal or important documents. The aesthetic effect is its own reward for me. If it were just notes or a grocery list, I wouldn't have bothered and it'd look like chicken scratch. I've written drunk notes that couldn't be deciphered sober in plain writing- but could be easily read in cursive.
