Lindsey’s videos are so easy and helpful. I learned calligraphy through her for my daughter’s wedding and everyone thought I paid a fortune for it. My signature is gorgeous!
I am really enjoying seeing Lindsey break it all down for a beginner like me. I've been getting her emails, worksheets and supplies for a good time now. I dream of sending my friends cards written and flourished with Calligraphy! Thanks!
Thanks for this. I've always wanted to spice up my very basic signature that I've been using since I was 18, but I wasn't sure how to go about it. This gives me some great starting points.
I'm so glad you found the video helpful! Your signature is a personal expression of yourself, and it's never too late to add a bit of flair to it. Remember, practice makes perfect. Have fun experimenting and refining until you land on a signature that feels just right for you! 😊🖋
You write your "D"s the way my dad used to. I loved his signature. He'd practice it once every week or two. It was easier for me to mimic my mom's signature because her letters were much more simple. My signature has always varied. Recently I switched to using my first initial because writing my first name takes too much thought. However, I like my first name too much to keep doing that. Hopefully, your tips help!
I understood everything you said but every time I try to do what I liked it just comes completely rubbish from what I imagined I’ll try to keep practicing cursive and more things and the link really helped me a lot!❤
Nice video, Lindsey. You are very relatable (the modern, e-version of approachable, lol). I always thought that, generally speaking, left handers tend to slant left, while right handers slant right. And also (generally) left handers, because of the way they have to hold the pen (and not smudge what they just wrote) tended to be a bit less legible (or perhaps less uniform)-but my mother, who was left handed, had beautiful penmanship/handwriting (which slanted right). I sometimes try and copy her upper case "W" since it's the first letter of my first name. Please keep up the great videos.
Thank you so much for your kind words and support! I'm so glad that you find my videos relatable and enjoyable. :) Regarding your observation about left-handers and their handwriting, you're right that there can be some general tendencies, but, of course, handwriting varies from person to person, regardless of handedness. Left-handers often adapt their writing style to avoid smudging, which can sometimes result in a slightly different hand position or letter formation. However, as you mentioned with your mother's beautiful penmanship, there are always exceptions to these generalizations. I'd think it would be easier for a lefty to achieve a right-leaning slant given that the left hand is already moving toward the right in order to write. BUT, my father and maternal grandmother are/were both lefties with a left-leaning slant. That said, my mother, a righty, also writes with a left-leaning slant. Maybe it started as a way to imitate her mother's handwriting ... ? It's wonderful that you admire your mother's uppercase "W" and find inspiration in it. Handwriting is be a personal and unique expression of ourselves, and it's a quilt of what we like! Definitely keep exploring different letterforms and finding joy in the art of writing. Thank you for your continued support, and I appreciate your kind feedback. I'll do my best to keep creating helpful and engaging videos! If you have any specific requests or topics you'd like me to cover, please let me know. Happy writing!
@@LindseyBugbeeTPKanother important thing to keep in mind in writing is how the medium affects everything It's easier to write descending strokes with a pen, so a right-handed person would prefer a right slant as it allows for more of those pulling motions A brush favours vertical lines once again, which resulted in the Amazing calligraphy you might find in Chinese books
hahaha I'm glad I'm not the only one who could forge a parent's signature. I nailed my dad's perfectly but not my mom's. So when I ditched class it was always my "dad" who excused me for a doctor's appointment. This is a great way to think about reinventing a signature. Mine has morphed over the years.
Also remember you’re not forced to write your name ! I have a composed first name ( they’re not very common in English, but imagine someone called, idk, John-Peter as their first name), so I used the two initials from my first name and the one from my last name to make my signature. It’s especially easy with a composed first or last name, but you can also use a second name, it does the job. Also, plenty of people are famous for three letters acronyms : FDR, JFK, LBJ, DSK in France,…
Very solid advice in this video. It’s way easier to make a signature with an English sounding name. That being said, what could I do with the name “Qadeer” or “Abbas” in cursive? I’ve tried a couple designs, but I can’t seem to make something nice. Maybe I’ll have better luck now that I’ve seen your examples. Once again, great vid 👍
Thanks again for all your hard work teaching me...🤔us 🤭, I've had long time practicing and still consider myself down from beginner 😔but you keep me going and trying. Your style is unique and I can see your touch ✨️, thank you 😊 thank you!
You can do it! I promise that we all start out as beginners. The only way to get better is keep doing it -- and have fun while you're at it so you're incentivized to keep going. :)
I remember i was in college, during an exam i had to sign the attendance sheet when the invigilator saw my signature and instantly complimented me telling me it looks like HoD level signature. Man i was flabbergasted.
What a fantastic story! It's always a great feeling when someone notices and appreciates something as personal as your signature, especially when it's compared to a Head of Department's level of professionalism. It sounds like your signature made quite the impression. Thanks for sharing this moment - it's a testament to the unique power and impact a well-crafted signature can have. Keep flaunting that impressive signature of yours!
A little friendl advice: avoid making your signature too illegible, flourishy or very different from your normal handwriting because it's a sign of dishonesty and/or putting on an act. Also if you want to put big strokes or lines in it, try underlining your name, rather than crossing it out or covering it from above. Crossing out your family name means issues with either your father (and maybe family) or your husband if you have his name. Crossing out your entire name or your first name is a sign of suicidal thoughts. Underlining from left to right suggests confidence and ambition.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts on signatures! I always find it fascinating to hear different perspectives on handwriting and signatures. It's interesting to hear about the different interpretations of various signature elements. Thanks again for sharing your insights!
This is not made up, this is an actual field of psychologies used by crime fighting, job hunting and probably a few therapists as well. We do not need to like the associations or even agree with these interpretations. But whether we agree or disagree does not change the fact that we will definitely have contact to people who interpret our signature in that way and we will most likely not be told when it happens. I would certainly not say "wow, your signature tells me that you are lacking confidence, so why should I trust you to be able to do the job?" What I interpret with a certain style might not be the same as the interpretation of the majority of the other people. And my signature is literally the signature of my person. It will reflect parts of my character, whether I want it, or not, so I want to make sure that I send the picture of myself that I want to see other people as well. I want it to look and feel nice for me, but that is not much worth if other people get the wrong idea about me because of my way of writing. I think it is definitely complicated to consider those interpretations while working on my signature. Nonetheless I might be worth the extra effort.
Graphology has been proven as utterly nonsense. The have been various studies and a meta-analysis. It is the same like reading out of ones hands or throwing some bones. You should study the barnum effect. Companies today bank on psychological assessments.
I'm just chilling here on my bed, using my fingers to practise random swoops on my bed 😂. I'm definitely gonna get a pen and paper and try these tips out for real! Lol
This is a really nice video on how to improve my signature, my signature is terrible 😂, but this steps are just what i was looking for to help me improve, thank you!
I came across this video because we got a new laser marker at work and I plan on using it to mark my signature on the back panels of furniture that I build, but want to up my signature game first. The video is super helpful. The only thing I’m slightly surprised by is that you’re using a Pilot G2 ball point instead of a fountain pen. Is that because a ball point is something that most people are familiar with, or do you genuinely prefer them? I’m kind of curious because my brain immediately thinks “well of course somebody doing a video about signatures would use a fountain pen, they’re so much easier on the hand and promote a healthier grip”.
I'm using a Pilot G2 because most people are familiar with it -- I wanted to ensure that this video is accessible and relatable. :) The Pilot Falcon is my go-to pen, but it's not something that a lot of people have laying around (plus, it's not something that I personally take on the go, like to the bank etc. I'd just be sick if I lost it)!
Fun Fact or Urban Myth, but a famous lawyer in my country writes books about all the things people get wrong about Law etc. The thing I remember the most is that you can sign a contract with whatever you want as you want to fulfil and execute and perform this contract. So at the checkout or with the parcel delivery person, I just sign something, like a scribble or a Zigzag line because I want to buy this product or i want to receive and open that parcel package.
That's very interesting! Contract law can indeed have some intriguing nuances. While the signature's purpose is to indicate a party's intention to be bound by the agreement's terms, the actual form or style of the signature might not always be crucial. What's important -- as you point out -- is the genuine intention behind it. That said, it's always good to be consistent with signatures, especially on important legal documents, to avoid potential disputes. But for casual transactions like at the checkout or receiving a parcel, a scribble or a unique mark suffices as long as both parties understand and accept it as a sign of agreement. Always interesting to learn about different practices from around the world! 🖊️
In connection with the slant... I know no one else that rotates the document to be signed by 90 degrees anti clock wise... My signature goes like an up arrow and the P makes half a planetary ring shape... Because i like planets... And i am an artist with a love for engineering... To add to your ideas if you want to, add what you are most known by in your signature... Make it unique to you... And do not be limited by straight signature, rotate... You can even place the capital letters of your name and surname radially, like a radial engine, think logo... In essence your hand signature is your own personal logo... And refine it by exercising it a lot...
Thanks! It works well for me -- that said, I think that everyone should do what's comfortable and works well for them. Ideal grip can vary from person to person!
I found this video because I was wondering if these signature designing companies (MySign, ArtLogo etc.) are worth it, or if they even work to help you redesign your signature. This video is great and I think I will play around with my signature now by myself, but I am still wondering if those companies are worth it, also subscribed the channel looks like a pen nerds dream! I think it would be cool to hear your take on those types of services. BTW great choice of background plant Tradescantia are gorgeous!
Hi Anthony! First off, thank you so much for subscribing and the kind words about the channel - I'm thrilled you see it as a "pen nerd's dream" because that's exactly the vibe I'm going for! 😊 Regarding the signature designing companies like MySign and ArtLogo, here's my take: while these services might offer a unique design, the authenticity of a signature lies in its personal touch. It can be challenging to adopt and feel connected to a signature that you haven't developed yourself. That personal connection to a signature, especially one you use often, is paramount. While these services can certainly offer inspiration or a starting point, I personally feel it's most rewarding and genuine when you've played a role in its evolution. I'd encourage you to play around with different styles and structures for your signature. The process can be quite therapeutic and fun! And remember, your signature is an extension of you. It should feel as natural as your handwriting. And yes! Tradescantia plants are absolutely stunning. Their vibrant colors and easy-care nature make them one of my favorites. Glad you noticed and appreciate them too! Thanks again for tuning in and for your thoughtful comment. Keep those pen vibes flowing! 🖋️ Warm regards, Lindsey
I made mine when I was 12-13 also…problem I've been doing for 30+ years now, it's gonna be harder to get in the habit with a new signature then when I was 12 😂😂😂
I literally did this my senior year. I went through 3 or 4 variants before I settled on mine I stack my first and last initials and write the names in the letters
Hey there! It's so interesting to hear about others' signature journeys. Stacking initials and incorporating the full names into the design is such a creative approach. It sounds like you've come up with a truly unique and personal signature. Thanks for sharing your experience! 😊✍️
Well, when I write my name to fill out forms, I write it in all caps while using ligature (the letters connect). When I sign my name, it's lowercase except the first letter and my last name… well, the first two letters are recognizable and the rest is a line with two pips.
Thank you for sharing your approach! It's fascinating to hear about the unique ways people customize their signatures to fit different contexts. Your method of using ligatures for filling out forms and incorporating lowercase letters in your signature adds a personal touch to your writing. Each signature tells a story, and yours sounds like it has a distinctive flair. Keep experimenting and finding what works best for you!
I've had the worst penmanship for over 40 years with an even worse signature. I've changed it a few times trying to make it better but it doesn't work for me. I sign my name multiple times a day and I've always notice that if someone is standing over me waiting, my signature gets super shorthand chicken scratch, almost like my brain won't let me sign. I'm gonna try this method and hope it works.
I'm really glad you're willing to give this method a try! Changing a signature, especially one you've had for a long time, can definitely be a challenge, but it's absolutely possible with some patience and practice. It's pretty common for signatures to become a bit rushed or even turn into 'chicken scratch' when you're feeling rushed or observed-it happens to the best of us. The key is to practice at your own pace and in a relaxed environment initially, so you can gradually build confidence in your new signature. Remember, consistency is key, and even just a few minutes of focused practice each day can make a big difference. I'm rooting for you and hope you'll find the process rewarding. Please feel free to share your progress or any further challenges you might encounter. You've got this!
You make an excellent point about privacy and security, especially online. It's always wise to be cautious with personal information. In this tutorial, I'm using sample signatures and avoid sharing any sensitive personal details. My mother actually doesn't go by her legal name. :) Thank you for emphasizing the importance of internet safety!
This is an excellent video. I like how you demonstrated many ways to write and improve your signature. My only question is why are some initials written in an unorthodox or sometimes unreadable style from regular cursive style? Growing up while learning how to write letters, I always thought standard cursive handwriting was the only way to write your signature.
Thank you for your kind words and for bringing up such a great question! Signatures are fascinating because they're as unique as the people who write them. While standard cursive is often the starting point for learning to write, when it comes to signatures, the rules can be bent a bit. This is because a signature is not just about writing your name; it's a personal mark that represents you. It can be as legible or as stylized as you prefer. Some people choose to make their signatures more ornate or abstract to add a layer of security or to convey a certain artistic flair. As long as it consistently represents you and you can reproduce it reliably, your signature is doing its job. I hope this helps clarify things, and I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Keep experimenting with your signature until it feels just right for you.
@@LindseyBugbeeTPK You're so welcome. I appreciate your insightful and encouraging feedback. Now, I have a new perspective on what signatures mean because of you. This is certainly something I will forever attribute to help further my own signature that will represent myself. Many thanks to you!
Even though even the cursive variant of 'Walt Disney' looks really nice from you i'd say that the original signature of Walt Disney is absolutely perfect and always preferrable.
Today I thought of changing my signature and adding a bit of style to it and didn't even search for any tips on google or youtube Still your video is in my recommendation 😂 The ai has become advance or it is just a coincidence 😂😮
Haha, it seems the universe (or at least the TH-cam algorithm) is one step ahead of you! 😂 Whether it's AI magic or just a happy coincidence, I'm glad you found the video. Hope it adds that extra flair to your signature! ✍️🌟😊
I absolutely hate my signature on my driver’s license 😂 I got it when I was in highschool so maybe 10 years ago & it doesn’t change whenever I renew it atleast in nj. I avoid looking at sometimes 😂
😄 You're definitely not alone - many of us have that "signature chameleon" trait! Consistency comes with practice, but remember, sometimes those unique variations are what make it distinctly yours. Embrace the evolution and keep having fun with it! ✍️🌟
Honestly, I had never considered reimagining my signature. I have been doing it roughly the same way since my teens, & im 50 this year! Do you think it's too late to change it? Or is it never too late? Also, what are your thoughts on the reasons for eanting to change? In my case, it's because i largely just emmulated my late father's signature rather than "created" my own. Id value your input.
Absolutely, it's never too late to change your signature! Reinventing your signature can be a refreshing way to express your current identity, mark a new chapter in your life, or simply bring more joy into the everyday act of signing your name. Your signature is a personal symbol, and evolving it to reflect who you are today can be a meaningful process. The reasons for wanting to change your signature can vary greatly from person to person. In your case, wanting to create a signature that feels uniquely yours rather than an emulation of your late father's is both a beautiful and valid reason. It speaks to a desire for individuality and perhaps a way to express your identity separately from your lineage while still honoring your connection to your father. :)
Thank you for your thoughtful comment! Everyone's perspective is unique, and I respect yours. Signatures can indeed be seen in many different lights, but they're also a wonderful way for people to express themselves. Regardless of the style, what's most important is the authenticity behind it. Remember, every individual, including you, holds unique value and importance in this world. Thanks for engaging with the content and sharing your viewpoint! 😊🌟
It's quite common for artists to have a precise and controlled hand, which can indeed make the flowing motions of cursive writing a bit challenging. One tip is to practice with exercises that encourage fluidity, like loops and waves, to gradually train your hand to loosen up. It's about finding the right balance between control and freedom in your movement. Keep at it, and with time, you'll likely find a signature style that complements your artistic skills beautifully!
my signature has looked like a 3rd grader wrote it since i was like 12 and im 28 now and i wanna change it up, especially since I’m about to change my last name (to my dad’s. been wanting to do that forever)
Congratulations on your decision to change your last name-it sounds like a meaningful step for you! And it’s never too late to change up your signature. It’s great that you’re taking the time to create something that feels more like you. Take it slow, experiment with different styles, and remember to have fun with it. Your new signature can be a reflection of this exciting new chapter in your life! 😊✍️
In my job, there’s people clammering to get my signature, get it quickly, sometimes in bad lighting conditions, sometimes listening to 3 others conversations at the same time, sometimes with rain drizzling over the document, with the loud din of machinery nearby, had to get about 25 signatures done per job, requiring preferably less than 2 secs per signature.
It sounds like as you develop your signature, you'll need to keep timing in mind as a factor! If you're Tommy Paget, I'd put an emphasis on the "T", "m", and "y" for the first name and the "P", "g", and "t" for the last name. You could try coming up with a signature that doesn't require you to lift your pen from the page, which would save time. :) Definitely worth doing some experimenting!
I learned to write cursive during my first grad catholic school. I heard that they dont tech cursive in schools anymore! Sad because a written signature defines who you are as aperson!
I lament the end of cursive teaching as well. That's why I made a free cursive eCourse for kids and adults that's available here on TH-cam. :) th-cam.com/video/BRn-cxdp8uA/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for watching and for your kind words! Walt Disney's printed signature is indeed iconic. Remember, a signature is a personal expression, and it's never too late to develop or refine one. Even if you feel your writing isn't the best, with a bit of practice, you can create a signature that you're proud of, especially for something as special as signing a guitar. Keep practicing and experimenting until you find a style that feels right for you. Best of luck with your guitar sale!
As a kid I emphasized the captials and literally scribbled the rest as a bitter parody of cursive. Over the years I lost the last intitial and any sense of consistency and now kinda hate it. Part of me wishes I went through a process like this... Might be rediculous to ask, but are we allowed to change it? Always something that seemed legally set in stone. Where as my printed artist's signature has changed.
Absolutely, it's entirely common and acceptable to want to refine or change your signature over time. Signatures often evolve as we grow and our preferences change. Your experience with your childhood signature and how it has evolved resonates with many people. Signatures hold personal and legal significance, but they aren't necessarily set in stone. People's signatures can change for various reasons, including improving legibility, making it more unique, or simply reflecting your current self. Legally speaking, signatures are considered a form of identification and authorization, and changes might require updating official documents. However, making changes to your signature is typically allowed, as long as your new signature still maintains a certain level of consistency and can be reasonably recognized as yours. Your printed artist's signature changing is another example of how signatures can adapt to suit your style or preferences. If you're considering changing your signature, you might want to practice it for a while until you're comfortable with the new version. It's always a good idea to update important documents, like your ID or financial accounts, if your signature changes significantly. In short, while there may be a process to follow when changing your signature, it's definitely not ridiculous to consider. People change their signatures for a variety of reasons, and it's ultimately a personal choice that reflects your identity and preferences.
That's a creative and unique way to personalize your signature, especially if your name starts with an "A"! Signatures are a reflection of our individuality, and your approach adds a personal touch to your name. The star and squiggly lines certainly make it stand out. Remember that a signature should be both distinctive and legible, and it sounds like your signature accomplishes that beautifully. Thanks for sharing your signature style with me! 😊🌟
Great question! If you go by initials for your first name, you can definitely incorporate them into your signature in a stylish way. Try experimenting with different ways to connect your initials with your last name. You can also play around with varying the size and style of each letter to create a unique and cohesive look. Don’t be afraid to add some flourishes or personal touches to make it truly your own!
Let's say you were trying to have some prerequisites in your signature, like having it all on one stroke, and making it look like an eldritch blur from both hell and heaven, how would someone tackle that dilemna?
To create a signature that meets your requirements of appearing as an eldritch blur from both hell and heaven, while also being on one stroke, you could consider experimenting with different types of calligraphy pens and brushes to achieve the desired effect. One approach could be to use a brush pen with a flexible tip to create thick, sweeping strokes. You could try varying the pressure you apply to the pen to create thicker or thinner lines, and experiment with the angle of the pen to create different textures and effects. Another approach could be to use a pointed pen, which can create sharp, fine lines and intricate details. You could try using a nib with a wider tip to create thicker lines, or a nib with a more flexible tip to create more dynamic and flowing strokes. Experimenting with different ink colors and textures can also help create a unique and otherworldly effect in your signature. Ultimately, creating a signature that meets your specific requirements will likely require some trial and error as you experiment with different tools and techniques. Don't be afraid to take risks and try new things until you achieve the desired effect!
That's a great question! Some people choose to have their autograph and signature appear very similar, if not identical, especially if their signature has a distinct style that is part of their public persona. However, others might opt to keep their signature (used for signing checks, contracts, etc.) different from their autograph to maintain privacy and reduce the risk of forgery. It's totally up to you!
That's a very valid concern. When your state validates your vote by signature, it's important to ensure that your signature remains consistent, especially for official documents and voting purposes. If you're looking to improve your signature, you might consider making subtle enhancements that don't drastically change its overall structure. This way, your signature can evolve aesthetically while still being recognizable as yours. Remember, while experimenting with your signature, keep practicing and using your original one for official matters like voting. Over time, as your improved signature becomes more consistent, you can gradually start using it for more formal situations. Just ensure it's a gradual transition to avoid any issues with signature validation. And, as always, you can adjust your signature based on the situation. While you don't have much creative wiggle room when using your signature for voting, for example, you do have wiggle room when signing a receipt, for example. I hope this helps!
Oh, I'd love to write your last name if I had an extra second! Double f's are tough, but once you figure out a creative way to write them side by side, they can be really neat. I normally make the second "f" a bit different from the first.
Hi! Thanks for this question. Even if your name doesn't have ascenders or descenders, you can still create a beautiful and unique signature! Focus on adding style and flair to the letters you do have. You can experiment with flourishes, loops, or extending the horizontal strokes of your letters. Another option is to play around with the size and slant of your letters to make your signature stand out. I saw this article the other day, and I felt like it was pretty inspirational. Even though it showcases handwriting in general, it might spark ideas for your signature? www.boredpanda.com/perfect-handwriting-calligraphy-examples/
I developedef my “killer” signature in my teens as an impression of somebody who did it flawlessly, with grace and beauty over and over again. Took me practice… Then over the years any time of day or night I will deliver it with ease and confidence. Got several compliments …. Because it is a “killer”… lots of style and hard to counterfeit ….
That sounds fantastic! Developing a signature that's not only stylish but also uniquely yours and difficult to replicate is truly an art. It's impressive that you've mastered it to the point of effortless execution, no matter the time of day. The dedication you put into practicing during your teens certainly paid off. Keep flourishing with that 'killer' signature, and thank you for sharing your inspiring journey with us! Remember, a signature is more than just a way to validate a document; it's an expression of our individuality. 😊🖋️
It's pretty common to have quirks in our signatures, especially when we sign quickly or frequently! Missing a specific letter can happen for a few reasons: - Muscle Memory: Over time, your hand develops a muscle memory for your signature, and sometimes certain letters get left out as part of this quick, habitual motion. - Complexity: If the letter you're missing is particularly complex or involves a change in direction, it might be getting skipped over. - Focus and Speed: When we sign our names, we often do it quickly without much thought, which can lead to mistakes or omissions. - Letter Sequence: The position of the letter in your name might also affect whether it gets written. For example, letters in the middle of long names can sometimes get lost. To fix that, try slowing down and consciously focusing on including that letter each time you practice your signature. Over time, your muscle memory will adjust, and the letter should become a natural part of your signature again. 😊

Lindsey’s videos are so easy and helpful. I learned calligraphy through her for my daughter’s wedding and everyone thought I paid a fortune for it. My signature is gorgeous!
Loooove hearing that! I'll bet that wedding calligraphy was absolutely stunning.
I am really enjoying seeing Lindsey break it all down for a beginner like me. I've been getting her emails, worksheets and supplies for a good time now. I dream of sending my friends cards written and flourished with Calligraphy! Thanks!
Thank you, Christine! It is touching to hear that these resources have been helpful in starting your calligraphy journey. I am always happy to share!
It is so refreshing to watch someone write, holding their pen correctly!!! I enjoyed your video
Thank you so much!
There's a correct way?
@@lilac.___8232 yes there is.
Thanks for this. I've always wanted to spice up my very basic signature that I've been using since I was 18, but I wasn't sure how to go about it. This gives me some great starting points.
I'm so glad you found the video helpful! Your signature is a personal expression of yourself, and it's never too late to add a bit of flair to it. Remember, practice makes perfect. Have fun experimenting and refining until you land on a signature that feels just right for you! 😊🖋
I’m 16 and trying to figure out a signature for myself. Thank you, this really helped!
I love hearing that -- yay!
Eow! So glad I found you! We just can't allow the Art of handwriting be completely replaced by computers. Thank you so much for what you're doing. ❤❤❤
I totally agree! Thank you for enjoying!
exactly!!
You write your "D"s the way my dad used to. I loved his signature. He'd practice it once every week or two. It was easier for me to mimic my mom's signature because her letters were much more simple.
My signature has always varied. Recently I switched to using my first initial because writing my first name takes too much thought. However, I like my first name too much to keep doing that. Hopefully, your tips help!
I think signature is definitely fluid; mine chances depending on the day! I hope that my tips help you, too. :) Thank you for watching!!
Pri. Prianka, comes to mind.
I understood everything you said but every time I try to do what I liked it just comes completely rubbish from what I imagined I’ll try to keep practicing cursive and more things and the link really helped me a lot!❤

Regarding your observation about left-handers and their handwriting, you're right that there can be some general tendencies, but, of course, handwriting varies from person to person, regardless of handedness. Left-handers often adapt their writing style to avoid smudging, which can sometimes result in a slightly different hand position or letter formation. However, as you mentioned with your mother's beautiful penmanship, there are always exceptions to these generalizations. I'd think it would be easier for a lefty to achieve a right-leaning slant given that the left hand is already moving toward the right in order to write. BUT, my father and maternal grandmother are/were both lefties with a left-leaning slant. That said, my mother, a righty, also writes with a left-leaning slant. Maybe it started as a way to imitate her mother's handwriting ... ?
It's wonderful that you admire your mother's uppercase "W" and find inspiration in it. Handwriting is be a personal and unique expression of ourselves, and it's a quilt of what we like! Definitely keep exploring different letterforms and finding joy in the art of writing.
Thank you for your continued support, and I appreciate your kind feedback. I'll do my best to keep creating helpful and engaging videos! If you have any specific requests or topics you'd like me to cover, please let me know. Happy writing!
@@LindseyBugbeeTPKanother important thing to keep in mind in writing is how the medium affects everything
It's easier to write descending strokes with a pen, so a right-handed person would prefer a right slant as it allows for more of those pulling motions
A brush favours vertical lines once again, which resulted in the Amazing calligraphy you might find in Chinese books
hahaha I'm glad I'm not the only one who could forge a parent's signature. I nailed my dad's perfectly but not my mom's. So when I ditched class it was always my "dad" who excused me for a doctor's appointment. This is a great way to think about reinventing a signature. Mine has morphed over the years.
Ha! What a great anecdote! It is always fun to work on and change up a little!
The only signature I ever learned to forge was a boss I once had. He was aware of it, and I never did anything sketchy with it. It was just for fun.
Also remember you’re not forced to write your name ! I have a composed first name ( they’re not very common in English, but imagine someone called, idk, John-Peter as their first name), so I used the two initials from my first name and the one from my last name to make my signature. It’s especially easy with a composed first or last name, but you can also use a second name, it does the job. Also, plenty of people are famous for three letters acronyms : FDR, JFK, LBJ, DSK in France,…
An excellent reminder!
Everybody : ohh ur tips are so helpful. Thank u soo muchh..❤
Me: JUST HOW BEAUTIFUL HER EYES ARE 😍
That's kind of you to say; thank you!
Very solid advice in this video. It’s way easier to make a signature with an English sounding name. That being said, what could I do with the name “Qadeer” or “Abbas” in cursive? I’ve tried a couple designs, but I can’t seem to make something nice. Maybe I’ll have better luck now that I’ve seen your examples. Once again, great vid 👍
Lots of opportunities in those names for beautiful repetition! :) I'd just work on making the letters consistent!
Thanks again for all your hard work teaching me...🤔us 🤭, I've had long time practicing and still consider myself down from beginner 😔but you keep me going and trying. Your style is unique and I can see your touch ✨️, thank you 😊 thank you!
You can do it! I promise that we all start out as beginners. The only way to get better is keep doing it -- and have fun while you're at it so you're incentivized to keep going. :)
This video really deserves more recognition like you helped me a lot thanks
Oh my gosh! Thank you so much! I am glad that you found it helpful!
I remember i was in college, during an exam i had to sign the attendance sheet when the invigilator saw my signature and instantly complimented me telling me it looks like HoD level signature. Man i was flabbergasted.
What a fantastic story! It's always a great feeling when someone notices and appreciates something as personal as your signature, especially when it's compared to a Head of Department's level of professionalism. It sounds like your signature made quite the impression. Thanks for sharing this moment - it's a testament to the unique power and impact a well-crafted signature can have. Keep flaunting that impressive signature of yours!
This was a very helpful video. Soon to take on my husband's name and wanting to develope a really cool signature for it. Thanks!
I'm so glad that it was helpful!!
Never thought about writing it in different shapes. That's actually really interesting. I'll have to try it sometime.
I hope you do! Thank you. :)
A little friendl advice: avoid making your signature too illegible, flourishy or very different from your normal handwriting because it's a sign of dishonesty and/or putting on an act. Also if you want to put big strokes or lines in it, try underlining your name, rather than crossing it out or covering it from above. Crossing out your family name means issues with either your father (and maybe family) or your husband if you have his name. Crossing out your entire name or your first name is a sign of suicidal thoughts. Underlining from left to right suggests confidence and ambition.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts on signatures! I always find it fascinating to hear different perspectives on handwriting and signatures. It's interesting to hear about the different interpretations of various signature elements. Thanks again for sharing your insights!
A sign of dishonesty to whom?
This is just made up. My advice, just get yourself any signature that you like.
This is not made up, this is an actual field of psychologies used by crime fighting, job hunting and probably a few therapists as well.
We do not need to like the associations or even agree with these interpretations.
But whether we agree or disagree does not change the fact that we will definitely have contact to people who interpret our signature in that way and we will most likely not be told when it happens.
I would certainly not say "wow, your signature tells me that you are lacking confidence, so why should I trust you to be able to do the job?"
What I interpret with a certain style might not be the same as the interpretation of the majority of the other people.
And my signature is literally the signature of my person. It will reflect parts of my character, whether I want it, or not, so I want to make sure that I send the picture of myself that I want to see other people as well.
I want it to look and feel nice for me, but that is not much worth if other people get the wrong idea about me because of my way of writing.
I think it is definitely complicated to consider those interpretations while working on my signature. Nonetheless I might be worth the extra effort.
Graphology has been proven as utterly nonsense. The have been various studies and a meta-analysis.
It is the same like reading out of ones hands or throwing some bones.
You should study the barnum effect.
Companies today bank on psychological assessments.
I'm just chilling here on my bed, using my fingers to practise random swoops on my bed 😂. I'm definitely gonna get a pen and paper and try these tips out for real! Lol
Finger swoops are the story of my life ... a friend pointed out to me the other day that I constantly "write" with my fingers when I talk. Go figure!
This is a really nice video on how to improve my signature, my signature is terrible 😂, but this steps are just what i was looking for to help me improve, thank you!
It's my pleasure -- I'm so glad it was helpful!
I came across this video because we got a new laser marker at work and I plan on using it to mark my signature on the back panels of furniture that I build, but want to up my signature game first. The video is super helpful. The only thing I’m slightly surprised by is that you’re using a Pilot G2 ball point instead of a fountain pen. Is that because a ball point is something that most people are familiar with, or do you genuinely prefer them? I’m kind of curious because my brain immediately thinks “well of course somebody doing a video about signatures would use a fountain pen, they’re so much easier on the hand and promote a healthier grip”.
I'm using a Pilot G2 because most people are familiar with it -- I wanted to ensure that this video is accessible and relatable. :) The Pilot Falcon is my go-to pen, but it's not something that a lot of people have laying around (plus, it's not something that I personally take on the go, like to the bank etc. I'd just be sick if I lost it)!
This is incredibly fascinating
Thank you! I am glad that you enjoy!
Fun Fact or Urban Myth, but a famous lawyer in my country writes books about all the things people get wrong about Law etc.
The thing I remember the most is that you can sign a contract with whatever you want as you want to fulfil and execute and perform this contract.
So at the checkout or with the parcel delivery person, I just sign something, like a scribble or a Zigzag line because I want to buy this product or i want to receive and open that parcel package.
That's very interesting! Contract law can indeed have some intriguing nuances. While the signature's purpose is to indicate a party's intention to be bound by the agreement's terms, the actual form or style of the signature might not always be crucial. What's important -- as you point out -- is the genuine intention behind it. That said, it's always good to be consistent with signatures, especially on important legal documents, to avoid potential disputes. But for casual transactions like at the checkout or receiving a parcel, a scribble or a unique mark suffices as long as both parties understand and accept it as a sign of agreement. Always interesting to learn about different practices from around the world! 🖊️
In connection with the slant... I know no one else that rotates the document to be signed by 90 degrees anti clock wise... My signature goes like an up arrow and the P makes half a planetary ring shape... Because i like planets... And i am an artist with a love for engineering... To add to your ideas if you want to, add what you are most known by in your signature... Make it unique to you... And do not be limited by straight signature, rotate... You can even place the capital letters of your name and surname radially, like a radial engine, think logo... In essence your hand signature is your own personal logo... And refine it by exercising it a lot...
Great feedback and tips!
Thank you Skylar White❤
I love how you hold the pen, correctly!!!
Thanks! It works well for me -- that said, I think that everyone should do what's comfortable and works well for them. Ideal grip can vary from person to person!
Thanks for this video Lindsey - I'll definitely using these tips to spice up my signature!!
Yay!! I tend to vary mine based on my mood ... sometimes it's a bit more elegant, sometimes a bit more playful.
8:16 heck yeah! I'm gonna go for the Rockstar signature style! 👌
Do it!! haha
I found this video because I was wondering if these signature designing companies (MySign, ArtLogo etc.) are worth it, or if they even work to help you redesign your signature. This video is great and I think I will play around with my signature now by myself, but I am still wondering if those companies are worth it, also subscribed the channel looks like a pen nerds dream! I think it would be cool to hear your take on those types of services.
BTW great choice of background plant Tradescantia are gorgeous!
Hi Anthony!
First off, thank you so much for subscribing and the kind words about the channel - I'm thrilled you see it as a "pen nerd's dream" because that's exactly the vibe I'm going for! 😊
Regarding the signature designing companies like MySign and ArtLogo, here's my take: while these services might offer a unique design, the authenticity of a signature lies in its personal touch. It can be challenging to adopt and feel connected to a signature that you haven't developed yourself. That personal connection to a signature, especially one you use often, is paramount. While these services can certainly offer inspiration or a starting point, I personally feel it's most rewarding and genuine when you've played a role in its evolution.
I'd encourage you to play around with different styles and structures for your signature. The process can be quite therapeutic and fun! And remember, your signature is an extension of you. It should feel as natural as your handwriting.
And yes! Tradescantia plants are absolutely stunning. Their vibrant colors and easy-care nature make them one of my favorites. Glad you noticed and appreciate them too!
Thanks again for tuning in and for your thoughtful comment. Keep those pen vibes flowing! 🖋️
Warm regards,
Lindsey
I made my signature when I was 13 and it SUCKS!! I really need a new one .
I made mine when I was 12-13 also…problem I've been doing for 30+ years now, it's gonna be harder to get in the habit with a new signature then when I was 12 😂😂😂
I literally did this my senior year.
I went through 3 or 4 variants before I settled on mine
I stack my first and last initials and write the names in the letters
Hey there! It's so interesting to hear about others' signature journeys. Stacking initials and incorporating the full names into the design is such a creative approach. It sounds like you've come up with a truly unique and personal signature. Thanks for sharing your experience! 😊✍️
I love your energy thank u for this...I Always had bad hand writing I will look into your lessons ✨️ 🙏
You are so welcome!
Wonderful thank you
I'm always happy to share, Jennifer! Thanks for watching ☺️

You are too kind; thank you!
Well, when I write my name to fill out forms, I write it in all caps while using ligature (the letters connect). When I sign my name, it's lowercase except the first letter and my last name… well, the first two letters are recognizable and the rest is a line with two pips.
Thank you for sharing your approach! It's fascinating to hear about the unique ways people customize their signatures to fit different contexts. Your method of using ligatures for filling out forms and incorporating lowercase letters in your signature adds a personal touch to your writing. Each signature tells a story, and yours sounds like it has a distinctive flair. Keep experimenting and finding what works best for you!
You're a lifesaver TYSM
You're welcome!
Thanks for posting this!
It's my pleasure -- so glad you enjoyed!
I've had the worst penmanship for over 40 years with an even worse signature. I've changed it a few times trying to make it better but it doesn't work for me. I sign my name multiple times a day and I've always notice that if someone is standing over me waiting, my signature gets super shorthand chicken scratch, almost like my brain won't let me sign. I'm gonna try this method and hope it works.
I'm really glad you're willing to give this method a try! Changing a signature, especially one you've had for a long time, can definitely be a challenge, but it's absolutely possible with some patience and practice. It's pretty common for signatures to become a bit rushed or even turn into 'chicken scratch' when you're feeling rushed or observed-it happens to the best of us. The key is to practice at your own pace and in a relaxed environment initially, so you can gradually build confidence in your new signature. Remember, consistency is key, and even just a few minutes of focused practice each day can make a big difference. I'm rooting for you and hope you'll find the process rewarding. Please feel free to share your progress or any further challenges you might encounter. You've got this!
Remember that this is the internet; it's best to never show your real signature to the entire world, or even your mom's name, let alone her signature.
You make an excellent point about privacy and security, especially online. It's always wise to be cautious with personal information. In this tutorial, I'm using sample signatures and avoid sharing any sensitive personal details. My mother actually doesn't go by her legal name. :) Thank you for emphasizing the importance of internet safety!
omg your eyes! you have the same color eyes as Alexandria Daddario!
Wow, what a compliment! Thank you!
@@LindseyBugbeeTPK🤍
thanks for this! really helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
This is an excellent video. I like how you demonstrated many ways to write and improve your signature. My only question is why are some initials written in an unorthodox or sometimes unreadable style from regular cursive style? Growing up while learning how to write letters, I always thought standard cursive handwriting was the only way to write your signature.
Thank you for your kind words and for bringing up such a great question! Signatures are fascinating because they're as unique as the people who write them. While standard cursive is often the starting point for learning to write, when it comes to signatures, the rules can be bent a bit. This is because a signature is not just about writing your name; it's a personal mark that represents you. It can be as legible or as stylized as you prefer. Some people choose to make their signatures more ornate or abstract to add a layer of security or to convey a certain artistic flair. As long as it consistently represents you and you can reproduce it reliably, your signature is doing its job. I hope this helps clarify things, and I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Keep experimenting with your signature until it feels just right for you.
@@LindseyBugbeeTPK You're so welcome. I appreciate your insightful and encouraging feedback. Now, I have a new perspective on what signatures mean because of you. This is certainly something I will forever attribute to help further my own signature that will represent myself. Many thanks to you!
Even though even the cursive variant of 'Walt Disney' looks really nice from you i'd say that the original signature of Walt Disney is absolutely perfect and always preferrable.
I agree!
Thank you I don’t normally leave thank you comments on tutorials but your attitude makes experimenting more inviting 😊
That's so kind of you to say! Thank you!!

You hold your pen correctly. Good example!
Before anyone can create a decent writing style, they need to learn how to hold a pen.
Good Job!
Thanks, Gary!
My problem with my signature is the lack of consistency, it always looks different haha
😄 You're definitely not alone - many of us have that "signature chameleon" trait! Consistency comes with practice, but remember, sometimes those unique variations are what make it distinctly yours. Embrace the evolution and keep having fun with it! ✍️🌟
I like the WALT Disney style
Isn't that fun?
Honestly, I had never considered reimagining my signature. I have been doing it roughly the same way since my teens, & im 50 this year! Do you think it's too late to change it? Or is it never too late? Also, what are your thoughts on the reasons for eanting to change? In my case, it's because i largely just emmulated my late father's signature rather than "created" my own. Id value your input.
Absolutely, it's never too late to change your signature! Reinventing your signature can be a refreshing way to express your current identity, mark a new chapter in your life, or simply bring more joy into the everyday act of signing your name. Your signature is a personal symbol, and evolving it to reflect who you are today can be a meaningful process.
The reasons for wanting to change your signature can vary greatly from person to person. In your case, wanting to create a signature that feels uniquely yours rather than an emulation of your late father's is both a beautiful and valid reason. It speaks to a desire for individuality and perhaps a way to express your identity separately from your lineage while still honoring your connection to your father. :)
Nicely presented! In my view, a fancy signature befits a big ego. I’m too unimportant for a this to make any difference to my life
Thank you for your thoughtful comment! Everyone's perspective is unique, and I respect yours. Signatures can indeed be seen in many different lights, but they're also a wonderful way for people to express themselves. Regardless of the style, what's most important is the authenticity behind it. Remember, every individual, including you, holds unique value and importance in this world. Thanks for engaging with the content and sharing your viewpoint! 😊🌟
I’m an artist but I always had trouble with cursive writing and signatures because my hand is too stiff and precise, it isn’t used to flowing motions…
It's quite common for artists to have a precise and controlled hand, which can indeed make the flowing motions of cursive writing a bit challenging. One tip is to practice with exercises that encourage fluidity, like loops and waves, to gradually train your hand to loosen up. It's about finding the right balance between control and freedom in your movement. Keep at it, and with time, you'll likely find a signature style that complements your artistic skills beautifully!
Do you have a video on how to practice a new signature?
I don't; I'm sorry about that! This is the only video I have over signatures.
my signature has looked like a 3rd grader wrote it since i was like 12 and im 28 now and i wanna change it up, especially since I’m about to change my last name (to my dad’s. been wanting to do that forever)
Congratulations on your decision to change your last name-it sounds like a meaningful step for you! And it’s never too late to change up your signature. It’s great that you’re taking the time to create something that feels more like you. Take it slow, experiment with different styles, and remember to have fun with it. Your new signature can be a reflection of this exciting new chapter in your life! 😊✍️
Very helpful
I'm so glad!
great video thank you
My pleasure! I am glad that you enjoyed it!
In my job, there’s people clammering to get my signature, get it quickly, sometimes in bad lighting conditions, sometimes listening to 3 others conversations at the same time, sometimes with rain drizzling over the document, with the loud din of machinery nearby, had to get about 25 signatures done per job, requiring preferably less than 2 secs per signature.
It sounds like as you develop your signature, you'll need to keep timing in mind as a factor! If you're Tommy Paget, I'd put an emphasis on the "T", "m", and "y" for the first name and the "P", "g", and "t" for the last name. You could try coming up with a signature that doesn't require you to lift your pen from the page, which would save time. :) Definitely worth doing some experimenting!
That’s what I did. Thanks.
My signature is not consistent 😓
I am trying hard to get rid of this issue but can't
I would just get some practice in! Keep working on it you got it!
I learned to write cursive during my first grad catholic school. I heard that they dont tech cursive in schools anymore! Sad because a written signature defines who you are as aperson!
I lament the end of cursive teaching as well. That's why I made a free cursive eCourse for kids and adults that's available here on TH-cam. :) th-cam.com/video/BRn-cxdp8uA/w-d-xo.html
Love the vid!
Thanks so much!
I really like Walts printed signature. I have to sign a guitar I'm selling and I have no signature and my writing is terrible 😭😭. I enjoyed yr vid 👍
Thank you for watching and for your kind words! Walt Disney's printed signature is indeed iconic. Remember, a signature is a personal expression, and it's never too late to develop or refine one. Even if you feel your writing isn't the best, with a bit of practice, you can create a signature that you're proud of, especially for something as special as signing a guitar. Keep practicing and experimenting until you find a style that feels right for you. Best of luck with your guitar sale!
Its almost scary that she knows so many famous ppls signatures
My secret is Google Image Search. ;)
As a kid I emphasized the captials and literally scribbled the rest as a bitter parody of cursive. Over the years I lost the last intitial and any sense of consistency and now kinda hate it.
Part of me wishes I went through a process like this...
Might be rediculous to ask, but are we allowed to change it? Always something that seemed legally set in stone. Where as my printed artist's signature has changed.
Absolutely, it's entirely common and acceptable to want to refine or change your signature over time. Signatures often evolve as we grow and our preferences change. Your experience with your childhood signature and how it has evolved resonates with many people.
Signatures hold personal and legal significance, but they aren't necessarily set in stone. People's signatures can change for various reasons, including improving legibility, making it more unique, or simply reflecting your current self.
Legally speaking, signatures are considered a form of identification and authorization, and changes might require updating official documents. However, making changes to your signature is typically allowed, as long as your new signature still maintains a certain level of consistency and can be reasonably recognized as yours.
Your printed artist's signature changing is another example of how signatures can adapt to suit your style or preferences. If you're considering changing your signature, you might want to practice it for a while until you're comfortable with the new version. It's always a good idea to update important documents, like your ID or financial accounts, if your signature changes significantly.
In short, while there may be a process to follow when changing your signature, it's definitely not ridiculous to consider. People change their signatures for a variety of reasons, and it's ultimately a personal choice that reflects your identity and preferences.
Cause my name starts with an A I do a star with the A and then squiggly lines next to it and go under and do one bigger squiggly line underneath
That's a creative and unique way to personalize your signature, especially if your name starts with an "A"! Signatures are a reflection of our individuality, and your approach adds a personal touch to your name. The star and squiggly lines certainly make it stand out. Remember that a signature should be both distinctive and legible, and it sounds like your signature accomplishes that beautifully. Thanks for sharing your signature style with me! 😊🌟
what if you go by initials for your first name?
Great question! If you go by initials for your first name, you can definitely incorporate them into your signature in a stylish way. Try experimenting with different ways to connect your initials with your last name. You can also play around with varying the size and style of each letter to create a unique and cohesive look. Don’t be afraid to add some flourishes or personal touches to make it truly your own!
Muchas gracias ;)
You are so welcome!
I love your outfit

We love us some Harry Potter in this household. :D
Let's say you were trying to have some prerequisites in your signature, like having it all on one stroke, and making it look like an eldritch blur from both hell and heaven, how would someone tackle that dilemna?
To create a signature that meets your requirements of appearing as an eldritch blur from both hell and heaven, while also being on one stroke, you could consider experimenting with different types of calligraphy pens and brushes to achieve the desired effect.
One approach could be to use a brush pen with a flexible tip to create thick, sweeping strokes. You could try varying the pressure you apply to the pen to create thicker or thinner lines, and experiment with the angle of the pen to create different textures and effects.
Another approach could be to use a pointed pen, which can create sharp, fine lines and intricate details. You could try using a nib with a wider tip to create thicker lines, or a nib with a more flexible tip to create more dynamic and flowing strokes.
Experimenting with different ink colors and textures can also help create a unique and otherworldly effect in your signature.
Ultimately, creating a signature that meets your specific requirements will likely require some trial and error as you experiment with different tools and techniques. Don't be afraid to take risks and try new things until you achieve the desired effect!
Should a signature be different than an autograph?
That's a great question! Some people choose to have their autograph and signature appear very similar, if not identical, especially if their signature has a distinct style that is part of their public persona. However, others might opt to keep their signature (used for signing checks, contracts, etc.) different from their autograph to maintain privacy and reduce the risk of forgery. It's totally up to you!
I wanna know which pen you used in the video?.
It's very nice.

Thanks.
What do you do when your state validates your vote by signature. I would like to improve my signature but then I couldn't vote.
That's a very valid concern. When your state validates your vote by signature, it's important to ensure that your signature remains consistent, especially for official documents and voting purposes. If you're looking to improve your signature, you might consider making subtle enhancements that don't drastically change its overall structure. This way, your signature can evolve aesthetically while still being recognizable as yours.
Remember, while experimenting with your signature, keep practicing and using your original one for official matters like voting. Over time, as your improved signature becomes more consistent, you can gradually start using it for more formal situations. Just ensure it's a gradual transition to avoid any issues with signature validation. And, as always, you can adjust your signature based on the situation. While you don't have much creative wiggle room when using your signature for voting, for example, you do have wiggle room when signing a receipt, for example. I hope this helps!
My struggle has always with having two f's in the middle my last name with there letters before and also after. Ugh!
Oh, I'd love to write your last name if I had an extra second! Double f's are tough, but once you figure out a creative way to write them side by side, they can be really neat. I normally make the second "f" a bit different from the first.

Can you write each alphabet in slant and other format so that we can use them in our name
I will keep that in mind for future videos! For now I would suggest just trying to write it all out a bunch for practice!
Hey, my name doesnt have any ascendors or descendors. What am i supposed to do then?
Hi! Thanks for this question. Even if your name doesn't have ascenders or descenders, you can still create a beautiful and unique signature! Focus on adding style and flair to the letters you do have. You can experiment with flourishes, loops, or extending the horizontal strokes of your letters. Another option is to play around with the size and slant of your letters to make your signature stand out. I saw this article the other day, and I felt like it was pretty inspirational. Even though it showcases handwriting in general, it might spark ideas for your signature? www.boredpanda.com/perfect-handwriting-calligraphy-examples/

Mam ..please make a video with letter M please..
I'm so sorry; I'm unable to take custom requests. But I am flattered that you asked; thank you!
I always miss one specific letter of my name when I write my signature. I don't even mean it. Why is that?
It's pretty common to have quirks in our signatures, especially when we sign quickly or frequently! Missing a specific letter can happen for a few reasons:
- Muscle Memory: Over time, your hand develops a muscle memory for your signature, and sometimes certain letters get left out as part of this quick, habitual motion.
- Complexity: If the letter you're missing is particularly complex or involves a change in direction, it might be getting skipped over.
- Focus and Speed: When we sign our names, we often do it quickly without much thought, which can lead to mistakes or omissions.
- Letter Sequence: The position of the letter in your name might also affect whether it gets written. For example, letters in the middle of long names can sometimes get lost.
To fix that, try slowing down and consciously focusing on including that letter each time you practice your signature. Over time, your muscle memory will adjust, and the letter should become a natural part of your signature again. 😊
