How to learn to write beautifully

1. Decide why you need it

We desire to improve the handwriting may be different reasons. And you should find yours. First, it will make you act more consciously and increase motivation. And secondly, tell you on correcting any handwriting nuances need to focus.

Perhaps you just want to write legibly. Or feel the need to make writing more "authoritative" - ​​to give him confidence, clarity, effectively. Or maybe you are driven purely aesthetic sense. Get familiar with them, it is important.

2. Please rate your current writing

Take a sheet of paper and write on it a few suggestions - so that they have formed two or three paragraphs. Do not try to display the letter "beautiful", write naturally - as it is doing at all times.

When done, put the sheet in front of and analyze visible flaws handwriting. Do this not as a whole ( "like a chicken with his paw!"), While trying to highlight specific moments.

• Form letters. Perhaps they are too narrow and angular? Or vice versa, too rounded, with intricate loops? Maybe they overlap - for example, the "n" in your performance looks like "and"?

• Incline. Classically beautiful handwriting all the letters have the same easy slope to the right.
• The height of the letters. Ideally, it should be the same, and such that the icons were readable. And how are you?
• Writing letters. At the analysis it may be that the same item you portray different. A classic example - the difference in the mark of the letter 't': sometimes used its printed version, and sometimes - written.
• The spacing between letters. He should also be uniform.
• QWERTY horizontal. They do not jump or go up and down to the end of the line.
• Pressure. pen pressure on the paper should be uniform all along text. But it often happens that in one place, we too we press on the handle, and the other, on the contrary, if it slips off the paper, because of what the text looks sloppy and difficult to read.

For clarity, we can underline or circle the most "prominent" parts of the text contrasting color. This will help you focus on those shortcomings, from which you want to get rid of. For example, if you notice that the letter "g" comes you crumpled, contracting at the end, in the future, you will try to make it more uniform.

3. Find a source of inspiration

Beauty - a relative term, and "beautiful" (in your opinion) the handwriting may be quite different. Look for example, that you like.

Perhaps it will be just perfectly aligned "school" line:

or elegant calligraphic:

Or maybe you crave originality and more your backhand? If possible, print the results and examples place them where they will come across your eyes. For example, hang it on the refrigerator door. Attach a sticker on the monitor. Or on a desk.

This will help to "correct" the handwriting foothold in visual memory and motivate you to subconsciously copy "good" examples.

4. Do exercises for the hands

For writing answers what physiologists call fine motor skills - a set of brushes and coordinated action fingers. If you try, and with hand trouble, it is possible that the problem is just in motility. Only one way out: to train your hands.

Among the most effective and easiest ways simultaneously - air letter. Take a pen or pencil, bend your arm at the elbow (at an angle of about 70-80 degrees) and start writing imaginary words in the air. Make large letters - in this case, when writing out will involve not only the hand and fingers, but the whole of the limb from the shoulder, including the wrist and forearm. This is important: you are less tired, if you write the whole hand, and it will keep the writing more clear and smooth.

Such exercises should be carried out regularly. For example, spending on them for 3-5 minutes in the morning, afternoon and evening.

5. Make sure that you hold a pen or pencil correctly

Writing instruments should lie on the left side of the middle finger of the right hand (if you southpaw - on the right side of the middle finger of the left hand). The tip of the index finger holds the pen or pencil from the top. Big support on the left (for left - right). When you write, the hand should be based on the first joint of the little finger bent.

All three fingers holding a pen or pencil, slightly rounded and do not squeeze too hard stationery.

To validate the grip, lift the index finger. Pen (pencil) should not fall.

6. Choose high-quality stationery

Handwriting to obtain approximate to the ideal, you should enjoy writing. Therefore, look for accessories that do not scratch paper and left on her soft a distinct mark. Find the line thickness that you like. Experiment with colors.

The quality of the paper, too, is a biased approach. Choose office sheet density of about 90 grams per square meter with moderately smooth but not glossy surface.

7. Imagine that you're not on paper but on the water

This will make your movements more soft and smooth. In addition, you will begin to write a little slower, which is an important condition for a beautiful handwriting.

8. Train prescribe basic line

Before you proceed to the image of beautiful letters, make sure that your hand remember how to write basic elements. It's about simple vertical and diagonal lines, circles, semicircles.

Only after you learn to automatically output adjusted dashes and swirls, should move to the text.

Training using special maxims, including calculated on the future first-graders. Such aids are sold in stores Office and on the Internet. A big plus of prescriptions - they are lined by lines that will help you control the tilt and sizes of your items.

Another option to get the hand - dudling. So called amateur painting technique based on patterns gleaned intuitively. Dudlingom can be practiced anywhere: at a meeting on public transport, on the phone. All that you need - pen and notebook whose pages you fill intuitive designs.

Dudling develops coordination habit and continuously move a pen or pencil on paper. And you can create real masterpieces even in this technique. But it's a slightly different story.

9. Practice writing letters every day

Here again, it helps the usual recipe. Engage them on a daily basis - hand must grasp the correct spelling.

The formation of habits and automatic action leaves 21 day. Not so much if the reward is really nice handwriting, which you can be proud of.

Little life hacking: Getting Started writing texts, the first time, try to display the letters a bit larger than it is. Such symbols are easier to analyze. So, it will be easier to find and fix defects in shape, slope, intervals between the letters.

As handwriting is improved, it is possible to return to normal size lines.
