Pens

Well we all have a unique way of holding the pen, there is a supposed correct way of holding the pen. So how do you hold your pens, pencils, and stuff.... Well other questions are, are you righty or lefty?

I hold my pen strangely, it's the only comfortable way with these small pens, I aint allowed to use special thick pens though. You see this is probably a result of the condition I have....

Does your handwriting suck too? Or is it neat and tidy like the teachers love? This is how I hold mine anyway....

Yes this thread has a sickly inuendo feel to it, like I said, we all have ways of holding our pens. (had to do that. Hahahaha)

hehe... yes i hold my pen a simular way...and my handwriting is :love: PERFECT:love: ... But You have a "condition" -lol-? ..

Hmm, im not sure how I hold my pen (:jokey:) but my handwriting is terrible, and it always will be...why I do all my writing on the PC these days

My handwriting is awful and I supposedly hold my pen weird, but it feels normal to me! xD

I hold mine so wierd, if I write too much in exams etc, my little fingers tip goes square.

I do actually, it sucks... Here's an example of my handwriting. This feels normal to me aswell. Well lets see what you think :jokey: When I write too much my fingers stiffen up and they ache like hell, same with my thumb and hand joints. Cracking my fingers and knuckles temporarily helps.

I hold mine at a 35 degree angle, approximately one inch from the tip, and the pen shell itself rest snuggly on the callous of my middle finger, and is controlled by my thumb and pointer finger. While not writing I usually twirl it around or rest it on my thumb, middle finger, and held in place by my second, or on the ear, usually if I'm yelling at my friends, this is what I do.

I am a righty, and my handwriting is somewhat fine and distinguishable, but small... extremely small. It's smaller than the text that Rye uses. I prefer a medium tip pen to a fine one. Unfortunately, most of my teachers are left handed, so there's no way I could match what they do.

I don't believe that there is a correct way to hold a pen, because it varies from person to person: you just have to do what feels right. Of course, I highly doubt someone would find it very good that someone else held it at the end in a fist, and moved the head so that ink lines would appear.

Apparently I hold mine weird, but to me everybody else is just weird. I'm left handed with writing/drawing/painting but for most other things I use my right hand. I have two different types of handwriting, too. It's either unjoined and normal or joined and italic. I suppose it's kinda neat. :jess:

Here is a sample of my handwriting! :)

My handwriting changes with my mood. I can have insanely neat writing if I feel like putting in the effort, or my writing can be an illegible scrawl. Usually the latter. And I hold it the same as Shoden.

I hold my pen in the classic three-finger triangle.

with nails like those I don't know how you can survive school.

xD They're quite strong really, but when they snap they hurt so bad ;__________;

I hold my stationery near enough upright when drawing but slanted when i write, i'm a righty (woo, i'm so boring. I hold my stationery close to the nib/lead with my thumb meeting my index finger, the middle finger close by and tightly in, the other two fingers are kept straight and together and go behind the barrel/shaft. Try holding your pencil to see how i mean.

When i'm not writing (i always use biro, so i don't get ink everywhere) i like to flick my pen quickly between my index and middle finger, that or poke one end in my mouth and cup my hand around my face, the rest of the pen resting between my index and middle finger - almost like it's a cigarette >.< . I don't know where i picked this habit up from at all! All i know is that i get some odd looks in the middle of class when i kick back in my chair and take my pen from my mouth to proceed writing.

There's always a black or blue biro on me, and a 2H pencil for sketching too and i never put it behind my ear (that was how i lost my first baby - that being a 2H pencil that was very dear to me!) or in my top pocket - where they always seem to leak and explode!

Ugh, how many more times do i need to edit before i fully answer the thread?! *sighs* my handwriting sucks, when disjointed it tends to over lap though is wuite neat, but in exam when i'm speed writing it looks like an entire colony of spiders has fallen in ink and then proceeded to die on my page, or run across it with a drunken stagger - so the teachers loathe me :(. Aside from that, my computer typing is some-what better, though this is little consolation.

I hope that description was graphic enough! :D
