@ArvinALQ If you prefer to write left handed, I would say, keep doing so!

@brandtbrian123 I will take some time over the holiday break to do a video demonstration.

@Dylvente Yes I would very much love for you to make a video on this. I still do not fully understand how you can pull the pen at all if you are using your left hand regardless of paper position

@brandtbrian123 You can make left-handed writing slant right. Still hold the paper the way I show in the video with the sides pointing down to your left. Put your hand underneath the line you will be writing on and angle the pen so that you can pull it downward parallel with the sides of the paper. This should create a right slant without smudging. I may do a video on this alternative method. Thanks for watching.

Hi there, I am 18 years old. I have always written with my right hand, but I have a lot of lefthanded-ness in me (I spin a basketball and flip a pen with my left fingers better). I have been writing with my left hand for 4 months now because it feels smoother on the paper. I would like to sign my name, but I really like writing that has a righty-slant. Can I still write left handed and keep that slant ? I know that your video says it is difficult, but it seems like I can do it w/some smudging.
