Matasoga Kitalpha Hart Matasoga Kitalpha Hart Taeryyn (Woo, I just got a pink giftbox with an angelic headband inside.) Although I'm right-handed, I feel your pain. Whether I use pen or pencil, I always seem to end up with ink/graphite on my hand. I don't know why I learned to write this way; I distinctly remember being corrected over and over by my teacher in primary, but I still hold my pen all scrunched up and weird. nice score If I'm drawing, I'm definitely gonna end up with graphite on my hand. Inking doesn't have that happen unless I accidentally mark myself with the ink pen/copic When I was young, I'd switch hands for writing. Kinda wish I had kept that up, being ambidextrous would be nice My English teacher for 11th/12th grade got to telling me that I had to type up all my essays. Everyone else got the option of hand written or typed, lol She teaches two grades for English. Another has 9th and 12th grade English classes Didn't like the one in 9th, the other was fairly easy to distract and so do less during class XD I think I hold mine 'normally' but I'm not sure I hold my pencil in an almost closed-fisted style, the only difference being that the shaft of the pencil, just above the wooden potion of the tip rest on the second segment of my smallest finger. It's hard to describe, but I don't have any pictures of it. It requires dragging all of the bottom of my fist over the paper at all times. When I was doing a shaded pencil drawing, it would be a solid dark grey and shine with all the luster of any metal, when I was finished. I have my thumb over and either one through three fingers over, with the rest under. When drawing, thumb and forefinger over, the rest under, for greater movement range. It's how I generally hold it, though sometimes the fingers shuffle. I believe it's thumb and two fingers over when writing I think I have an idea as to how you hold it. I find it awkward and extremely restricting It is pretty restrictive, you've got me there. If you're doing really tight detail work and you're used to it, it gives you control like you've never had before. where in my drawings have I shown detail?

It's not as though I was trying to convert you. It's nothing to me how one holds their implement. You might have no use for it... Though this does lead me off-topic again to that drawing we discussed before. I can scarcely imagine Matasoga being rendered without the countless details that comprise him.

The dragon hatchling I drew on the Zen Brush app on my iPad with my finger has some detailing, and was a pain to draw It's in my dA somewhere

My handwriting is ok I guess, as long as I'm printing.
Cursive? Lulz, ******** no. I haven't used that s**t since high school.
Even my printing's gotten worse and worse, though, because everything I did at work was typed.
I apparently hold my writing implement "properly" from what I can tell, but as long as it works, I don't see the problem with alternate ways of writing.
Nope, no idea. Pretty sure we learned to write in primary, and our preschool was private. Ellen, the lady who was in charge of it, had some kind of early childhood education background and opened the preschool herself.

My handwriting is not the best, but it is not as bad as some others (which I have come to find out). As to cursive, I have not used that in a long time. Recently, I had to think about what a letter was in cursive, and I felt bad that it was not automatic for me to know what it was. I do also remember them saying that it would be how everything would be written from then on, again, it never amounted to much, in fact, some teachers even said it had to be in print and wanted nothing to do with cursive (I honestly think one of my teachers did not even know cursive at one point...).
When I was learning how to write, it never came up how I held the utensil (except for my mother). As long as I produced something legible, it was all right...
I still think it should be taught. There are many things that are being overlooked, and there are careers (such as reading old documents) where it would be helpful.

My handwriting is fine, neater than my colleagues', at least. I don't print unless I'm trying to make my handwriting look cute or VERY neat, so basically if I'm journaling to go along with pages for my scrapbook. Everything is cursive, if not INCREDIBLY neat or formal.
