Two short videos talking about and hopefully showing that you should try writing with the tip of the pen further from your hand and with your hand -relaxed- rolled a bit to the right.
If your pen is too upright - and you hand is too close to the tip - you can't really see what you are doing.
Even though this may not feel natural - it can be a good exercise to try.
You will always revert to whatever you have been doing since third grade -- so it is helpful to try several different grips, hand positions, and postures - to find sneaky ways to break out of the muscle memory - and build some new memories.
This is another view of the position of the hand.
You can see how the tip is not touching the paper.
The tip of the pen should be farther way from my hand than where it is in this video.
Imagine it is far enough out that it is touching the paper.
Okaaaayyy!!
ReplyDeleteSomething I can do right away too. It is bedtime now. Will do some practice in the a.m. Perhaps I can figure out how to see the Vimeo.
Thanks, Jean.
