Brush pens as a lefty can be a little difficult to get used to. Using a hard brush (like the Tombow Fudenosuke Hard) tends to be a lot easier than using one of the softer brushes, especially starting out. Between my own personal experience and that I've gained by hearing what other lefties have to say, most use sidewriting for brush pens. Make sure you keep the pen at a low angle to the paper and you may have to rotate your paper for different strokes. I actually turn my paper upside down to do the crossbars of letters like t and the descenders of g, j, y, etc.

I am a leftie and i am a underwriter and i suceeded by turning the paper sideways to write. Annoying for other people but it is what it is

UR dream is here. It is on JetPens somewhere

Thank you to make this nice video, I have been training my left hand for 10 years. Because of grip measuring and other happens made me notice that becoming ambidexter work out my tendovaginitis. My left hand was stronger than right hand, and it is bigger. My shoulder to wrist was in the bandage when I was in high school. I thought it is strange that other students can write by one hand. Lately, a sustainable natural clinic dentist checked my body and told me that, he thinks my mother was very busy and holded me the baby too strong, and the spine got pressure. I do not hate about that, but sometimes thinks if my parents was less busy, my skeleton was right and baby me naturally used my left hand more. Now the writing is last (and long years) task for my left hand, I am glad to find this video.

Im left handed and this really helped me!!😁

I do overwriting, without angling the paper but with my my pen resting on my ring finger so it reaches further down. I’ve developped this subconsciously over the years and it works pretty well.

LEFTY TIP: look out for Moleskin Cahier journals/notebooks! No spiral and lay flat :) usually carried in six packs at Costco for cheap!

I am ambidextrous and I am always trying to find ways to utilize both hands equally. These tips help for both hands, especially an artist like myself.

most of the lefties i know highlight from left to right unlike me who prefers to highlight in the opposite direction. seeing the person in the video highlight the same way as me was comforting.

Leftie here! Underwriting as a lefty doesnt work for everyone, I get really bad hand fatique from underwriting with my left hand even with the rotating of the paper. Another alternative is to do non-hook-hand overwriting; you overwrite but you ALSO rotate the paper just like with underwriting (but you rotate it at the opposite direction of course). This way I am able to write for longer times without hand fatique sitting in my sofa with my notebook on my lap, which is something I would not be able to do if I did underwriting. Also fountain pens! Fountain pens like LAMY Safari and Pilot Metropolitan work really well for me. The Platinum Carbon Desk Pen is great for drawing as well and is inexpensive.

It is sooooo annoying when people give tips to change the way we write. It’s not that easy.

I'm a lefty and Japanese Pens are expensive in India and so are fountain pens. I normally use gel pens so I would recommend the Uniball Eye pens bcuz 1. They comfortable to hold 2. The ink dries really fast (like under 4-5 seconds). 3. Let's say you did a mistake, and you will obvs use a whitener/correction pen, you will let the ink dry for a minute or so and then you'll re-write whatever you were writing. If you put your hand on the part where you wrote over the whitener, the ink won't smudge unlike other pens. I really love these pens and would obvs recommend for my fellow lefties! (sorry for my bad English)

I am a lefty and for me it's really difficult to write fast... In exams knowing the answers sometime I get out of time because the wrist pains while writing fast and continuously...

Using a hand gaurd while writing is more embarressing than just writing normally and smudging your work

On the highlighter most highlighters work/dry good if you use them from right to left. The window on the advertised one is good too but I hold mine upside down to be able to see what I’m doing easier.

Great tips. Thanks!

Thanks for this. It really helped.

I would love gel pens for a lefty. I use those for notes and studying.

When writing in a side bound notebook, I fold the left side pages under so that it’s as flat as possible to minimize awkward hand stuff

Thank you❤

When I have to use a spiral notebook, I start writing at the end and turn the pages right vs left. It helped me My preference is the composition notebooks. With them I can write “normal”, without any digging in my wrist. Still fight penmanship issues, though. :-/

SOOoo HELPFUL FOR ME

You just saved my life

Holy crap this video I needed it like u don’t understand

Top bound notebooks are almost non existent in the UK... i hate it. Luckily i found one and stocked up on them for a while at least 😄 I use the Zebra Sarasa Gel Pens. THEY ARE BRILLIANT!!!

I am a lefty, but I write like a right handed person. This is something I started as a youth. I simply turned the page & wrote with a right handed style. It may not work for you, but I do fine. However, it doesn't solve the spiral binder issue; for that I turn the binder upside down in my sketchbooks, writing my be another issue. Good luck, it does take practice.

You can also use a book style notebook or if you're using a standard notebook you can just flip it upside down

Where was this video when I was still in school! lol

I wonder if there are notebooks with lefty spirals? Once I turned my sketchbook backwards so the spiral wouldnt get in the way, but then I started having problems with the cover falling off, since it wasnt ment to be used that way.

i dont have those problems except the pencil part idk about other lefties

The uniball signo pens .5 are pretty good for lefties as well. So are the staedler fine-liners but those aren’t good for people who press hard when they write.

*I remember when I was a child that I wrote the words backwards and my teacher though I had a mental problem*

This helps

the pencil's mark in my left-handed is the uniqueness of me as a Lefty

Most of these things have never happened to me and I always see other lefties complaining I only get hand pain if I right for long

i'm not even a leftie but i like this video ahah

I'm left handed and finding a pen that works well has been crazy. However, I just picked up a Pilot Metropolitan fountain pen with fine nib. I haven't even had it 24 hours. I am really liking it. It takes such a light touch on the paper. And the ink seems to dry pretty quickly. And for about $12, definitely worth a try.

Nicholle Dominique Yes, but for left-handed people it’s worse, when I’m writing from left to right, my hand is rubbing on the freshly printed ink or lead. This smears your writing and gets on your hand, which is a mess and can get on your clothes, etc.

I’m a lefty, i learned to write by turning my paper sideways so i can write from top to bottom and right to left. Also got a ink pen for left handed people they where in the days expensive so my gran had it engraved with my name in a subtle way. They tried to steal my pen because it was my favorite color red and silver. So when she wrote with it it scratched the paper i knew she had it so said she picked my pen. The teacher said i was paranoid and that girl has more money than you do! I told him well it can be but still its my pen, and i want it back and could proof it. I asked him to look on the lower rim of the top case of the pen and say what was there. My name came out. The only thing I couldn’t to that easy was cutting with scissors so learned it right handed. Now i have one. Now its more common but i 50 and had to learn to write right handed too, but they couldn’t read what i had written so gave up and i could write as pleased.

What pencils do you recommend if your First starting to learn how to right with your left ??

if your school forces you to "hook writing", go elsewhere!! It's the worst to do and many leftys get chronical problems because it damages the wrists, some even need to stop studying because of irreversible problems and pain. Develop your own style, underwriting is the best but sidewriting is also okay, you just need to use very fast drying pens that don't smudge. Also why do they care what notebooks you use? Instead of just turning your notebook, try spiralbound notebooks for leftys. They have the spiral on the other side, so that the wholes are still on the correct side if you need to put the sheets in a ringbinder afterwards. No one will notice the difference at this point! Also topbound ringsbooks shouldn't be a problem.

I'm right handed but my hand is positioned to the side like a lefty (mirrored) so I have almost all the same issues 😭

One thing I haven't heard addressed is the paper quality. "Best quality" paper tends to be super smooth and shiny, which makes no logical sense. It makes all pens smear. I'm convinced the paper absorbency and texture is up to 50% of the problem.

If you do these all even if you're a right handed person you will have the best experience

These pens are expensive for us.In our country we use normal ball point pens for 0.11 dollars And expensive ones for 2.14 or 5.35 But if i were to buy a pen for example uni signo premier 207 it would cost around 9.25 dollars which is quite expensive according to our country and If the ink runs out we have to buy a new one so its nit worth the money
