I'm left handed... And this video has really helped me.. I'm glad i found this 5 days into starting my calligraphy journey.

People always comment that I write at 90-degree angle. I taught myself to write like this when I was small because I kept getting bad grades in my handwriting class. This is a very satisfying interview for me. 😊

Thank you guy for sharing! Left handed world appreciate your impact!

Best info I've heard for a lefty. I've have casually lettered in the past to get some custom results for my illustration and design work but it was very frustrating just trying to get through it. My results sufficed but the experience was horrific. I stayed away from it because of the experience but after 30 years I find myself back to realizing how much I love fontography and lettering, so I am trying once more to enter in on a professional level. Thanks again so much Klahr for sharing your experiences and detailed tips. It has given me a much better place to start from.

Thank you for this video. I have two left handed calligraphy students who are fustrated. My two lefty son and daughter figured out their own way over time but my current students will find much needed encouragement from your film.

Interview John DeCollibus. 30 yrs as a left hand. Worked so hard to get where he is, he knows why its hard and how to show it.

Thanks! I have tried so many times and quit, but there is hope for us left handed, sadly not much information and tutorials. But after seeing this video I got some ideas and I am giving it another try!

Awesome--Interesting--Inspiring!!! Thank you!

Thanks a lot to master calligraphy. Got a feeling you start practicing at a early age. Right now you are way more experience than most calligrapher. Good job lo l

For some reason i found this video very inspiring. i dont do calligraphy, but it still was a very touching video. thank you for making it.

Just starting out with calligraphy but already have to write at 90* so it’s already engrained for me. Thanks for the video!

thanks for this video! I am self taught as well, it took me a couple years to figure out which methods helped. I found for myself creating the letter shapes, not only right to left, but start at the bottom right of the letter towards the upper left... I have more recently discovered the method used here, and it is nice to know that other lefties are doing this as well. many thanks.

Thank you for this video.

I needed this video. I’m left handed and I want to teach myself. I am struggling to learn how to manipulate and control the pen. I have hope I can learn.

Thank you 🖤

I love penmanship, but never could follow the old books nor use the pens because they were designed for right handed people. This is awesome!

thank you so much for this video i most appreciate it from the heart guess its time for me to practice

Glad it helped! And let's say it's the first of many with left handed calligraphers :)

Yeah, this gives me hope because I'm in the beginning stages of learning as a left hander. It's so frustrating! But I noticed that all great left handed calligraphers write with the papers 90 degrees like he does.

Thank you. I love to watch other people writing to see how I can learn.

I am also left-handed, but for calligraphy I learned to use my right hand.

I love writing with dip and fountain pens but yes, being left-handed, writing normally is nothing but smudges.

BIG thank you,keep going with your work like what I see. (love the freestyle ;-) )(also a left-made man .....lol)

So even with the top-down method, it is not possible to achieve flow as a lefty, correct?

I am so impressed , but as a side writing lefty I’m hooped. I can do beautiful copperplate with a pencil ,various styles with a calligraphy felt no problem but trying to use a dip pen for copperplate,forget it

Can you create English subtitles? My English is not so good and this video will help me a lot (I'm left-handed)

@CalligraphyMasters

There are English Automatic generated subtitles which you can turn on... they are not perfect, but I don't really have the time to them so if anyone else reading this is willing to help is more than welcome to edit the subtitles :)

Who transcribed this???

I'm confused, Klahr keeps talking about "writing down"...for blackletter- having the paper at a 90° angle, how are you writing down for all of the now horizontal lines, like the letter M? Again, with the paper at the 90° angle as that makes the majority of the letter M horizontal lines...?

Bitte dieses Video nochmal in Deutsch!!! Bitte,bitte,bitte

thats what i want to do i wrote some poetry,poems n i want to write them down in calligraphy n hope to sell them as well i need to leave a foot mark before god takes me from this messed up world
