Yes exactly! they are perfect :clap::two_hearts: I especially like the ones on the left (both top and bottom).

Thank you! I really need to practice writing more. I don’t think I can even write katakana.

I own a lot of handwriting resources, but have never taken it seriously. I do practice writing a lot though. Mostly for Kanken.

Had to do it twice, since I missed out one column the first time >_<

Can’t reply to everyone, but wow your collective handwriting is nice ! I’ll surely train writing on my own after that

I really don’t like ふ :DD Some people say you should write the third stroke to the right, some - to the left, and I had so much trouble with it already:DD
Handwriting came out a bit shaky because I was nervous a little :sweat_smile: I write only for textbook exercises in my notebooks and that’s it:D

Write it to the left AND the right then lol

I meant the difference between these:D

Where do you see resources that show the right stroke written 3rd?

EDIT: Oh, you meant the downward angle of it? It’s always down and left-ish (though often only in only the most subtle of ways), but in the second image you linked, it has a “follow-through” part that points in the direction of the last stroke.

I used to draw it with four separate strokes but my teacher advised me to join the top stroke with the main middle stroke (closer to how computer fonts look); I’ve always wondered whether that’s actually the way to do it or whether my ふ was just so bad she needed some kind of intervention :joy:

Yeah, sorry, I should’ve said that clearer :sweat_smile:

I would say always use “brush stroke” styles over solid stroke fonts as a guide when you can. The solid stroke ones remove a lot of the stuff that is expected in handwriting.

Or, the kind of font you see in textbooks, that have line thickness.

very readable, nice.
i cannot write か good enough.

The worst feeling in the world is to miswrite ら, try to correct it, and it turns into ち.

It. Happened. So. Many. Times. :DD Or mixing up ち and さ in my brain and start writing it in the different direction

So i just did this so i could show you guys and thought i should try writing Katakana as well while i am at it, turns out i forgot 10 characters in Katakana. :scream:
I also forgot the order of the Alphabet, as you can see i forgot about S. Guess thats what happens if you dont use either alphabet for half a year.

@Leebo’s handwriting is my goal. That ら,る and ふ :eyes:!!!

And @Loglog74 yours look like ancient script! Maybe that’s how the hiragana were before they evolved to the current form?

Damn ふ! how are you supposed to look like?!?
