Lefty here.
1:53 PM, Tuesday December 2nd 2025
Just starting out lesson 1 lines and watching the video with the pen in his right hand, he draws from left to right. My natural inclination as a lefty when I start my line work from my shoulder will be the pen in my left hand moving from right to left. It's the lefty conundrum with ballpoint pens, they're meant to be dragged so the roller ball rolls and ink flows fluidly instead of pushing it against the paper in the wrong direction. There is no wrong answer, but when I submit my work, my lines will be going in the opposite direction, does that matter at all? The frayed end will be on the left since that is my ending point. I can just turn my piece of paper around and take a photo of it so it looks like a righty did it, but I would rather submit it as I drew it. Does this matter at all?
