Sir, this is really nice! I like it Thank you Comment from : @rmercado9737 |
 |
i write on a 45 degree angle counter clockwise which is how right handed people tilt their paper but when i do calligraphy like that, I would smudge the ink so often This video is what i needed but now i have to relearn to write on that angle Comment from : @EzraWrites22 |
 |
A video with the same music was representing it as “Mongol Music”Also , it does sound more like Mongol Music Comment from : @Phinnin-mg2oo |
 |
Teachers ALWAYS say “45 degrees” or “8 degrees” I say from WHAT! The lines? The edge of the paper, WHAT! Comment from : @ed0078 |
 |
The 'hook demonstration' is actually side-writing, and not the hook position at all Comment from : @Outerwebs |
 |
My reverse-slanted underwriting, makes it impossible to do calligraphy Comment from : @channelsixtynine069 |
 |
Thank you so very much I had no clue what to do to get my hand and pen to work together until I saw your demonstration Comment from : @jwalker9127 |
 |

I want to tell all of you being a left handed is so hard becuse everyone thinks I'm deferent They me hate for that and I always feel sad for this Comment from : @mahafujara4055 |
 |
I'm self-studying calligraphy as a left-handed individual and everything that I see are oversaturated with right-handed tutorials Thank you for this :> Comment from : @dudewithapen7190 |
 |
So Beautiful Comment from : @fandangofandango2022 |
 |
How can I film close up left handed calligraphy? Any tips Comment from : @theresabosarge4738 |
 |
I appreciate your talentbut I wanted to see much more writingquick brown fox type of stuff and camera needed to zoom a little morebut TY for the demo now I know what pen I should be using Comment from : @meaty109 |
 |
This video isnt for a left handed beginner Its also very dark, and difficult to see what the man is doingbrIm going to give my calligraphy set away to someone as a gift Lifebr is just too short for me, a perfectly adapted Left hander to start writing like a spastic 😂😂😂😂 Comment from : @juliawitt3813 |
 |
and! Comment from : @sandeephansdak314 |
 |
Thank you, John! This is so helpful I tried it My lines are straighter, letter spacing is better and slant is so much more consistent Thanks again! Comment from : @ruthnichols1742 |
 |
This is aweful to watch Comment from : @mitigiant5328 |
 |
Thank you so much for this, as a newbie left-handed pointed pen user, it is very helpful!🙏🏻✨👍🏻 Comment from : @ermaola |
 |
Very much appreciate your video It’s important recommendations such as this that make all the difference to a lefty novice and their ability to progress I never would have bought a right-handed oblique Back to my drills Comment from : @WellOfEchoes |
 |
I’m confused The only difference I saw from the second and third method was that he changed his pen What did I miss? He should’ve kept the same pen in all examples Comment from : @leftycrafter |
 |
This helped so muchbrThank You :) Comment from : @Leisuremaker |
 |
Thank you for this! I took a copperplate calligraphy course and had to use a right handed oblique holder I practiced my lettering by holding the paper almost upside-down, which was painful and difficult Normally I hold my paper almost perpendicular to my body (but in the opposite direction from what you do) I'll be taking a modern calligraphy course this weekend and I'm excited to try out your technique Hopefully I'll have more success that way! Thanks again! Comment from : @MrsCNatividad |
 |
Could u please re-do this video a little closer up so we can see the nib on the paper whilst writing? As a fellow lefty I cannot seem to find an angle that allows the nib to open on a downstroke Any suggestions are welcome Thx so much!! Comment from : @kristinekerr3688 |
 |
What about upside down? I do it and work pretty well, though in still learning and I dont know if it would be a problem for some calligraphy style Comment from : @thevdevitor |
 |
Lmao I find this so funny Everyone is commenting about how difficult it must be to turn the paper to an angle or having the letters be vertical to you And I’m just here like: yo! That’s how I normally write anything regardless of calligraphy or not 😂 as a lefty it nearly hurts to keep my hand completely straight to the paper Some lefties will write with a hook and others will turn their paper exactly like that in every day writing It’s completely normal lol Comment from : @Weird-Girl |
 |
I'm ambidextrous and it's hard choosing which hand to right with Any suggestions Comment from : @carzeh8219 |
 |
This is so helpful Thank you! I appreciate you making this video! Comment from : @apfitz |

#LeftistPower Comment from : @benderbendingrofriguez3300 |
 |
Wow, in watching John explain how he holds his pen and the relationship with he paper to his body looks as if it would be almost easier to gauge your letter spacing and lowercase form better I will have to try that Granted until I get better overall control over my left arm (no ball pitching with that arm), I might be a little sloppy But I am willing to have a go at it Comment from : @onatorrent |
 |
Thank you I write with my paper turned completely sideways like you show in the last of your video I'm just getting started It's so much or a challenge finding the right nib Any suggestions? Comment from : @thesoapstonecottagehandmad22 |
 |
I'm left handed and right handed what do they call that ampadextrous or somthing Comment from : @diamond2405 |
 |
I just got into using fountain pens and looking to start calligraphy as a hobby I never realized that it's completely different w/ left handers and FP's don't like being pushed hopefully I'll get over this steep learning curve Comment from : @tawilk |
 |
I am not being able to find a single place which sells these Right Hand Oblique HoldersNot a single place Comment from : @jeetdg2012 |
 |
I have always written with the lines perpendicular to me I remember in school the other kids would make fun of me for doing that even a teacher once told me that i write weird lol Its just more comfortable for me, I can see everything that I'm writing and I never get ink on my hand or arm I have noticed though that some right handed people write like this but the paper is obviously in the opposite direction so I honestly don't think its that weird! anyway thanks for the video! Comment from : @Karicar90 |

ES Comment from : @richardjones7659 |
 |
its so uncomfortable for me to hold a pen or pencil like that Comment from : @zachdesoto |
 |
can you please tell me what font/script you use, and if there is a book I can purchase to follow? I would dearly love to write like this but so far (Being a leftie) I am failing miserably Comment from : @tubeisace |
 |
thank you for this :) Comment from : @reginaonnagan65 |
 |
Interesting As a lefty I had come to the conclusion that any kind of calligraphy is just impossible since you have to pull and not push The only solution would be to write from right to leftbrYour solution is great , but before your brain gets used to looking at letters upside down, you must get some serious headachesbrAnyway, I think that letting kids write lefty is a mistake, as you can perfectly learn to write and do lots of things with the opposite handbrThe so-called psychological damage of being forced to write with the right hand always sounded to me like 60s hippie BS, especially when compared with the abandonment and humiliation left-handed kids must face at the very early stages of schoolingbrAnyway thanks for giving us your approach Comment from : @altar7885 |
 |
Fantastic tips, thank you for the video I have never considered moving the paper so far around - to be almost 90deg to my body Looking forward to trying this Thank you Mr DeCollibus! Comment from : @euan1234 |
