I'm left handed, and was educated in a country where using a fountain pen is required until middle school (at least it was when I was growing up).
Every time there was a smudge on a piece of work, my 2nd grade teacher would tear it apart and make me do it all over again. I usually finished way before the other kids anyways, and even doing that I was still usually done before the others.
I can write really neatly now ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- pjc50 10y agoHow did you achieve that? I ended up writing "overhand" (mirrored in the plane of the nib from the right-hand method), so the edge of my hand was always on top of the work. I ended up using blotter paper to avoid resting directly on the already-written ink. > Every time there was a smudge on a piece of work, my 2nd grade teacher would tear it apart and make me do it all over again Ah, the brutal conformism of education :(
- GuiA 10y agoYeah, pretty much something like that. My hand tends to be higher above what I write, and I avoid contact with the paper as much as possible. I also use blotting paper. Some inks dry faster too, so it's worth trying a few different ones. I still mostly use a fountain pen for taking notes, which gets me a lot of weird looks at work (first for taking notes on paper, then because of the fountain pen).
