Left handed products

So, this time, I would like to talk about the left handed products for calligraphy.
I'm right handed person but I do concern about left handed people because whenever you started to realize how they are struggle while they are writing and even for calligraphy.

Problems with lefty's:

Smudging, hand cramps, and uncomfortable notebooks

Dealing with right-handed writing systems and tools, many lefties do not receive proper handwritings.
Instead of that, they figure out how to write on their own.
The result of combination of right-handed materials and strange hand positions causes many left-handed to contend with at least one of the following challenges:

• Smudging and smearing
• Nibs catching on paper
• Poor ink flow
• Uncomfortable notebooks
• Crams and hand fatigue

There are some left-handed considered tools in calligraphy.

Speedball left-handed pen set

- Speedball has left-handed pen set which includes a straight nib holder and six nibs, five of which are specifically designed for left-handers. In Italic nibs in the Speedball left-handed pen set feature a flat edge that is angled in the opposite direction from those on right-handed nibs. This helps lefties achieve the appropriate slant for Italic and other edges calligraphy.

Left-handed pelikano Junior fountain pen

- Designed for children learning to write, the left-handed pelikano Junior provides a specially-designed ergonomic grip to guide proper finger placement. It also features a medium nib with a rounded tip that makes it easier to push the pen without it catching on the paper. Its colorful, thick plastic body is comfortable for adults and kids alike.




There are not a lot of left-handed products as much as for right-handed, but they still exists.
So don't let them to make you down because of left-hand.
I'll stand for you!

Enjoy! :)

Water brush

Have you heard about water brush?
Water brush is a reservoir of water attached to a brush.
Water flow is controlled by a small plastic feed and can be increased by squeezing the barrel.
Artists love their protability: water brushes can be filled from any source, remove the need for open water containers, and clean themselves through use.

• Brush size

Water brushes com in a few basic sizes. Fine, Medium, and large sizes have a round brush tapering to a fine point.
Fine brushes release less water per stroke and are good for detail work, while large brushes are suited for covering larger areas. Flat brushes, on the other hand, are great for large washes of color.

• Body length

Water brush bodies come in several lengths. Shorter brushes fir easily inside pen cases or pockets, but hold less water. Long brushes need refilling less often, but are slightly heavier when gets filled.

• Water-filling mechanism

Water brushes have two filling styles. Some water brushes have an open top reservoir and can be submerged into water or filled with a faucet. Others have a small black cap to keep the water from escaping, and are filled by squeezing the body to suction water inside.










And this video will give you some instruction how to start with!
