I thought my handwriting was bad because of my grip, then a nurse in Denver pointed at my pen
I have been doing hand lettering as a hobby for almost 3 years and kept blaming my shaky lines on how I hold the pen. Last week a nurse in Denver watched me sign a form and said my pen was the problem, a cheap ballpoint with a loose tip, so I switched to a $6 gel pen and my lines came out clean for the first time. Has anyone else found out their "skill issue" was actually just cheap tools the whole time?
