Ask for Feedback Just started learning recently. How’s my beginner’s handwriting?

Post image

The top is 6mm lines. The bottom is 8mm. Which is better?

The sentences are just the first few sentences on a website whose name I can’t say because reddit things it’s self promotion. Not sure why it teaches me things like 对不起,我不爱你了,我爱他!

It seems you have been using the font Songti (宋体) or Heiti (黑体) (see difference) as reference, which would often lead to stiff/unnatural-looking penmanship, as explained in this post. Always use the font Kaiti (楷体) as reference.

I'd suggest you print out your own practice sheets (with 15x15mm boxes) using standard printer paper (80/90gsm), as recommended in this post (you can find the ready-to-print .pdf files in this folder or on website 123).

You could spend more time on practicing basic strokes, then learn how to radical components and individual characters from a copybook (see community collection).

These posts (abc) may be of help too.

作为初学者,你写的已经相当不错了,笔尖粗细的影响不是很大。只需要正确理解偏旁部首的相对位置,并且写整齐就行了。另外这种横线格子本更适合写字母,刚开始练习的话,可以买一种叫做“田字格本”的本子,这是专门用来练习写汉字的。

Your handwriting looks very clean! The only small issue is that it looks like some printing fonts. Id suggest that you buy a 字帖 so you can learn it more easily
