Expert Answer

Explore various platforms and resources like Pinterest and Etsy, where you can see worksheets that can guide you in developing a stylish signature. Creative Market is another excellent platform offering a variety of lettering worksheets. Additionally, visit your local library, which likely has numerous resources on lettering and signature creation. If you prefer physical books, Amazon offers an extensive selection. However, if you're not inclined to make a purchase, the library remains a valuable and cost-free option to gain access to several resources and pick something up.

Experiment! Try making letters bigger than normal, and add swirls to the ends of Ps, Qs, Ws, Ss, and Xs. Just writing your name in cursive can work too.
