I am really glad this is out there. Thanks Calligraphy Masters! So many people struggle with the Death Grip. Hope this is a starting point for them.

How useful was this video on a scale from 1 to 10?? Can we get 99 likes for it??

BEFORE YOU BEGIN. . . . Always, always clean your hands and wrists first!! I simply use hand sanitizer, which I keep at my desk, I then wipe it off along with the oils and DIRT on my hands!! 👐🏼

In the 1940s, penmanship was taught in elementary schools. The proper way to hold the pencil as well as how to position the paper was emphasized. Exercises were done to achieve the proper angle and the letterforms of Parker penmanship. I don’t know when the teaching of penmanship was dropped, but in the 1960s and 1970s my grandchildren received to penmanship instruction - not even how to hold a pencil.

Omg! Thanks for my unofficial Sir (Mr. Paul Antonio) for such a another wonderful calligraphy improvements lesson, video. And always I'm grateful to Calligraphy Masters channel for their exclusive episode's from the giant Calligrapher's from everywhere in the World. Today I'm really very excited to see their shop address in Amazon. Now I can easily buy my desired tools from their shop and obviously it will be helpful, maybe experienced items from them. Best wishes.

Thank you so much. watched the other three videos as instructed before this one. I have struggled with my writing for years (I am 56 now). had moments where it flowed and mainly where it did not. Bought myself a Lamy 2000 this week with a strong desire to finally work out how to write properly. Decided back to basics was in order - your 4 videos have made ALL the difference. Why oh why oh why don't they teach this stuff to us when we are younger? Very excited once again. Big thank you from me to you. I finally feel like I am starting off in the write direction :-)

[@mylesheneke6660]

Thanks for your awesome tutorials, twin.

[@bruceosborne1892]

Some great tips. Thanks.

[@Cyriljayant]

I love writing but I don't have any problems with having the pen hold lightly. But this video is very helpful to everyone and thanks for the share.

[@spuzzgekk]

Very good and helpful video 👍👍👍

To anyone who is interested in starting calligraphy, I would urge you to look further into the teacher in this video's page(PAScribe) and watch his videos and lessons! There are many great teachers on TH-cam and on the calligraphy masters channel but I consider Paul Antonio to be on a particular level reserved for grandmasters of the ages. He is someone who has obviously had a deep and consuming passion for his art and has fully considered every aspect of the craft. His knowledge seems endless and he is one of the few people, with any subject or skill, I would consider his craftsmanship flawless or perfect. What I'm trying to say is he is good and I recommend checking him out further 😃

[@marycyrinvictoriadefino2492]

wow this is so helpful!

[@warped_rider]

I've had chronic pen-deathgrip since I learned how to write, I'll see if this helps. Cheers!

[@avr198]

Life changing. literally. Transferring the death grip -- had no clue. Thank you!!! Would be so great if you could do a vid on how to place the pen in your hand?
