I hummus, therefore I am ...
You need to make it smaller than approx 100K - see if reducing it to 800 x 600 will do it .. if not, you'll need a graphics utility with the ability to reduce the quality.it wont let me upload a photo!!!

My handwritting is a bit rubbish. It very rarely looks the same twice.
I can't see any image.

Here's a sample I did on the fountain pen thread.

Sorry - Does this work for you?
Yes, thanks. I'm impressed by your seemingly random 'i' dotting, I don't even bother.

One of the dots appears to be above a 'g'
And for the 'i' of 'internet', the dot is over the 'n', on the line above.

Only 'This' deserves a dotted 'i'.

It's not really caligraphy; just my normal hand i.e. a cursive script, rendered with a flex nib. The flex does mean that i have to slow down a bit, though. My high-speed note-taking has the same letter forms but no variation in line width, because I use a stiff nib.
Did you go to a primary school in the same area as your mum? The reason I ask is that the junior school I was at in the 1970s was still using some textbooks from the 1950s, including writing practice cards. Which might explain why at least 2 generations wrote in a similar style.Aw - thank you! Interestingly enough my mother's handwriting is of a similar ilk - I wonder if it's possible to inherit your handwriting style?

Mine too! I used to be able to tell them apart really easily but it's become more and more difficult.My mum and dads handwriting has become more and more similar over the years
I really like my dad's handwriting. I should tell him that shouldn't I?

We couldn't have learned in more differnet places! I went to a primary in NI in the 70s while my Ma went to a village school in the Black forest in the 1940s

That looks spookily like my mate's writing - especially the use of upper case "E"s mixed in with other lower case letters..
tbf, no. 2 is my old handwriting. Which in itself was a rebuild of completely incomprehensible scribbling. no. 1 would've been a lot smoother if I hadn't been trying to find a non-bleeding paper, settling on a (ridged) Acrylic pad
And 3 and 4 are kinda works in progress. I remain unhappy with many elements of them. And occasionally get confused half-way through a word, particularly when hitting an 'r.' But they're a bit quicker than 2.
I kinda prefer the illegibility / angledness of 4, but I find it bloody hard to read

4 gets my vote.
Btw, what ink did you use for 1?
The latter 3 are Sailor Jentle Grenadine. IIRC.
1 is relatively dull (IMO
) It's a Diamine blue. Emerald blue? Something gemstoney, anyway.I asked my mum for some 'interesting inks' for my birthday a year or two back, and got a blue.
