Struggling with how to hold your pen? ✍🏼 Here’s what I would do ✅ Arm parallel to the paper’s edge, which means at a 90° angle to the baselines. Pen at a 45° angle to the baseline and to the paper 📐 But, I’ve seen gorgeous calligraphy from people holding their pen like a crab claw 🦀 The one thing they all have in common? A light grip, and they move from the arm, not just the fingers. So, if you’re clenching, you’re killing your flow. Loosen up — that’s where the magic starts ✨ #handwriting #writingtips #learnontiktok #edutok #writebetter #penmanship
