    As a newbie (6 months in) I have a hard time with spacing when I’m doing the drills freehand. Also as a lefty the transitional strokes are hard for me because I’m pushing my pen instead of pulling my pen….

    • @EnsignInsights
      @EnsignInsights  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Oh yeah! I totally see how that’s tough! At least you have certain strokes like ovals!

      @@zahakhan_ hey! A fellow lefty! dumb question, but if you’re doing the lowercase b for example, (or even the lowercase o) you still do the downstroke on the left? I can visualize it working okay for the lowercase d but I’m having trouble visualizing it with a lowercase b & the o 🙄

    • @zahakhan_
      @zahakhan_ 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@ruthannalston well, for the lowercase ‘b’ I do the downstroke on the right, but that’s just because I have a habit of doing that - but if you want to do the downstroke on the right but can’t do it, you can tilt the page ... it actually helps! I don’t think it matters though - when I do the downstrokes on different sides nobody seems to realise! For the lowercase and uppercase ‘o’ I normally do the downstroke on the left, but people still don’t realise so I don’t really care, but, again, you can tilt the page if you want. I hope this helps!
