After a few more attempts with half the katakana missing, I managed to do all of them, properly-ish, ホ gave me trouble, but I remembered it a second before giving up and オ is missing a head lol, now off to keep practicing and making them look better !

Oh my, I just realized that in all my attempts beyond the first shown here,my き was mirrored (like ち with second horizontal line) 
But at least after writing katakana for like 10 or 12 times, finally I can read them almost smoothly

Alright, this was seriously harder than I expected. I have to start practicing because it is needed if I want to go to Japanese language class. Time for me to practice Japanese in real life, not just online!

My first complete sheet. Learned to read them a while ago, but just got them down in writing now. Crazy how I can read so much faster now that I can write them. Now to katakana.

Almost got the order right 
I think I’m relatively confident in them being readable, but what do you guys think?

As you can see, I’m not that good with katakana😂 and む and ね are giving me a hard time lol
Oh and if anyone could give me some comments/advice on my hiragana/katakana I’d appreciate it!
Everyone’s handwriting looks soo good!

HIragana: り is two strokes when handwritten - basically the same as the katakana リ.
Katakana: The downstroke of フ starts off more vertical and curves to the left. The downstrokes of レ and the second stroke of ル should be vertical.

Oooh ok, thank you so much! I got used to writing my hiragana り like that to distinguish it from my katakana ㇼ cause it annoyed me that they couldn’t be distinguished lol
Well, to be fair, there’s a bit of a hook on the first stroke, similar to い. The main trick is in writing your り so it doesn’t look too much like い, and vice versa - the similarity to リ doesn’t come into play at all.

The little “hook” on the end if the first stroke of the hiragana り is called a “hane” (pronounce it in Japanese; so 「はね」, not “hayne”), they were originally introduced to flick away leftover ink when writing with a brush. Nowadays they mostly look cool but also make hiragana, katakana and kanji more recognizable when reading over them quickly. 
THE MORE YOU KNOW:star2: I guess.
Oh yeah on that note; the hane should be flicks rather than stationary strokes. (which are called tome. 「とめ」, not “tohm”)
Although this website focusses on traditional writing with ink on a brush, it might be interesting to read how they came to be and the same principles do apply to improving pencil/pen writing!

My handwriting in English is incomprehensible, and my Japanese is no better.

Damn I’ve been focusing on kanji so much I completely lost my feeling in writing hiragana, save for a few. Anyways, here’s my bunch; feedback is much appreciated

Wow this was harder than it should have been.
I struggled with ぬ、ね、め、わ. I shudder to think what’s happened to my katakana.
Brush and normal pen comparison.
