Thanks! I was struggling with them as well until I found this book by Lloyd Reynolds. Reed College has also uploaded his calligraphy series to YouTube, which is incredibly helpful.

Hey there, welcome! I'm a lefty and I write the same way you do (like this, right?). I've found it to be much the easiest way for me to get the right pen angle and all that. I don't think you have to be worried about smudging the ink, your hand should be to the side of your writing, if you write the way I do.

Read the wiki, and the getting started guide (links to them are up top and in the sidebar). Use guidelines, I can't stress that enough, here's a handy guideline generator I use. Keep practicing, don't get discouraged (which as a lefty it's quite easy to do, just remember learning calligraphy is still hard for those righties, us lefties just need a little extra patience and determination!). And share, even if you think your work could be better, we're here to help you!

Also if you are interested in Learning italic I recommend you check out the videos Lloyd Reynolds made for Oregon Public Broadcasting(episode two was lost a long time ago, so don't go looking for it) and see if you can get ahold of his booklet. If you want to know more about Reynolds the Reed College website has a bunch on him.

I hope this was somewhat helpful, and I look forward to seeing some of your practice!

  1. You should print out guidelines from the Calligraphy Line Generator in the wiki (external links section) or draw in angle lines. Without the angle guidelines it is really really hard to maintain the slant.

  2. I super highly suggest Lloyd Reynold's book. Here is an Amazon link. If you cant afford it (though used copies are particularly cheap, look at his online videos. He is the 'father' of Italic, and really shows the basics well.

  3. It sounds like your nib is faulty. Brush it briefly through a flame, and see if that helps. Otherwise, buy a new nib. The PP pens are great, especially for beginning. The 3.5 or 2.4 are good to start with.

  4. There are a lot of broad nibs out there. That's why we don't really recommend any. I have some from Standard Graph, that work really well. Otherwise, just buy a few different types... local art stores usually have a big box of assorted nibs and they aren't too expensive.

  5. Guides for Spencerian and Copperplate are best found in IAMPETH.com. Especially the video series by Joe Vitolo.
