Sadly, due to distractions, the coathanger broke mid bend on the last letter of my name ☹️
This is my first time even attempting to do plain simple print, while all underlined to keep the letters connected. It’s way more comlicated than cursive writing, as there are a lot more sharp bends, making measuring and planning all that much more time consuming and difficult.
This print style coathanger text practice is a first for me, unfortunately failed just before the finish line…
The last lowercase ‘n’ was also intended to be finished, complete with the underline, but that’s where it broke.
Go ahead, kick me in the ass, next time I try, I’ll do so alone, no distractions, while also learning from my first try…
Curious, what you folks think?
I like the cursive one best, it flows so beautifully.
Well thank you kindly 👍
Cursive is also easier for me, for what should be mostly obvious reasons. But sadly these days, more and more people don’t really know how to read or write cursive, so I figured why not try to challenge myself and step my skills up a notch…
Unfortunately, doing this in print style takes more material, as I have to backtrack over more strokes and make more sharp bends, but as a first attempt, I’m not entirely disappointed. I’m almost certain the next time I try print style, it ought to be just a little easier (barely), and should hopefully come out a bit better.
Still, with all that said, I too prefer the cursive style, but sometimes I just like a good challenge…
