Sorry about audio. Better audio version:  https://youtu.be/e79_Paoi3OE

Correction: In the beginning I mention that my paper is perpendicular to me. It's not. The camera is angled so that the paper at the beginning of the video looks straight to you. It's sitting on my desktop, angled 45 degrees to the right, away from me

TIPS for lefty letterers: It's not about the WAY you grip your pen. You might not need to switch your grip at all. Some of us do, because we're used to adapting in this world... a world made for righties! Try angling your paper differently to see what works. Lefty overwriters, lefty underwriters and lefty side writers: You can do this!

I find my traceable alphabets to be really helpful with learning your best alignment. The alphabets are available on Etsy at
