Feedback (constructive criticism) Looking for advice on the ‘drop letters.’

Post image

So I notice that a lot of y’all manage to keep your hanging letters from intersecting with your bottom words. I obviously have a bigger handwriting style but I struggle to keep things from intersecting. I’m sure I have other things to work on as well but I really wanna focus on getting my lines from blending together.

Your handwriting looks good to me! I think it depend on the personality and habitus of the writer. When looking at graphology we see how it's really a reflection of who you are.

If it bothers you just skip a line. It doesn't bother me.

I think this sometimes happen to almost everyone.

On this example, how large is the space between the lines ?

Well, it's hard to keep your drop letters from interfering with the rest of the letters. You can try to 'time' the spacing so the drop letters fall into neutral spaces, or just accept that it's going to happen where drop letters will interfere with the tall letters sometimes. If your handwriting is good, there will be minimal true interference.
