Calligraphy and being left handed.

Sorry if I am not among those who write with their left hand and still responded to this discussion even though your question were calling for answers from lefties that mastered calligraphy... ^_^ Don't pay attention to those who tell you to not bother with something that you are interested in. Smudging is part of learning. You can't expect to be precise at first chance. Here's what lefties have advantage of: creativity. Being a lefty means probably means the dominant type of thinking is on creativity. All the right side of the body is controlled by the left side of the brain which is known to be the logical thinking half while those at the left side of the body is controlled by the right side of the brain which is known to be the creative half of the brain. Being a right handed person, I envy lefties. I know most things and habits favor the right handed population but, nothing can't be settled with a little practice and that includes smudges when you try calligraphy with your left hand ^_^
