Finally Quacked The Q

[syngent]

I hate the upper Q, or I did rather, just a circle with an awkward cross line in it never had them looking nice

Wrll I've been playing with upper case Copperplate letters as of late and after a few minutes of rehearsal my Q is ready to play nice

Certainly nothing to quack at

Nice. I will look to adjust lettering of "Q" by lowering the initial stroke and creating a more round letter. Thanks.

 

[syngent]

The inner part is awkward to start at as its in the middle but it looks nice once you get the spacing down pat

I thought there might be a duck joke in this thread somewhere!

 

[syngent]

Lol I'm sure there is one lurking around here somewhere

Wherever it is...it would be fowl.

I have many many pages of capital D's, S's, O's and Q's.

D's can still give me trouble some days.

 

[syngent]

Learn this

And letters A, B, F, I, J, L... well google copperplate, about half the alphabet is based on it "D" included

Looking good, James!
I didn't know you handled ducks, though! I thought it was just dogs and cats!

 

[syngent]

You guys quack me up

 

[ChefJohnBoy-ardee]

Thats not the stroke that gives the problems on the D!

 

[August West]

Sufferin' succotash...that looks great!

 

[syngent]

Thanks Mr West

 

[Vercin]

what do you mean Q .. that is an D

well at least in Serbian/Macedonian Cursive Cyrillic at least

[syngent]

Lol there's some handy little flourishes in some of those not quite our letter letters

Nice handwriting, not sure how long it took you to write like that but, wow. I really need to get to practicing more. It is just frustrating when I really screw it up all the time.

 

[syngent]

this was from a year ago,... and that was after a few months of being around here, I just picked off certain things I didnt like and kept writing words with those things until I fixed them... then I began to overhaul the style and tinker and play will I got my handwriting to what I want

Here's how one guy did it.



I've been trying to figure out a better Q for a while now. I much prefer the almost circle to the #2 look-alike.
