Quote - I want to know where artists learn to make really beautiful had written signatures. Mine looks like crap!
Practice, practice, practice.
My handwriting is - even though I say so myself - very nice to look and easy to read. I did it by working hard on my lettering, day in, day out. I didn't like my basic style so I changed it to something I thought was pleasing to look at. As coincidence would have it, my caps style is very similar to comic book lettering, which is useful if I ever have to hand letter stuff.
My cursive style is anything but cursive; I hate the big pot hooks they teach at school. Consequently, there are very few loops in my letters. I'll have to get my scanner rigged up and post some samples.
Your basic sig ain't too bad, apart from the drooping towards the end. That makes it look really untidy. Get rid of that and smarten up some of the letter shapes and you'll have a cracking sig.
