After a little more practice iwth my new Flex Nib I managed to get a nice clean signature. Really liking the flair on the vertical stroke of my capital F.

@freemo Being left handed I don't know how I could do some calligraphy, I guess I just can't x)

@Vetra Well you could always learn to be right handed. I learned to use my left hand and since then I have no trouble with either hand (Though right is natural).. With that said I know lots of calligraphers who are left handed, they do a lot of videos. So should be possible.

@freemo I'd never use my right hand to write, it feels just wrong x) and I like being left handed, sooo...

I'll search for those videos, then, I think

@Vetra Fair, i could see it as being part of your identity. Though I wouldnt suggest giving up your left hand all together. But yea in that case maybe check out the videos for lefties doing calligraphy, they probably have all sorts of tips.

@MominRasool You should have seen how bad it looked before I started practicing (only a few days now),

@freemo I saw earlier. Thatโ€™s why Iโ€™m appreciating you. Keep it up! Haha

@freemo woah!
Because youโ€™re in learning phase so I want to tell you something you might not know.
Try to write โ€œThe quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dogโ€
This sentence contains all of the letters of the alphabet.

@MominRasool I'm familiar with the sentance. I use it a lot for cursive practice because it has some of the combos in it that are difficult for me (like v followed by r and b followed by r). So it has been pretty useful :)

@freemo do practice, practice makes a man perfect.
