I am left handed. Will that cause me a problem as I work on the different marks and assignments you have chosen for this course ?

Thank you

My only concern is that I’m left handed, my days of fountain pens left me traumatized as my work would smudge , I was told I had the worse handwriting in school. Im sure there are many followers who are left handed, how do people manage this. I have just started to dare to draw. I love the work artist do with this median. I really like the work of NZ artist Ray Hamon. Look forward to your reply.

I just started to want to get serious in my art, and this is helping me a lot. I am so excited for future courses or videos. Anisha

Hi Leonard,

You can use any pens you prefer. Use whatever is comfortable. I would recommend ink that is permanent and waterproof. The watercolor paper may be too coarse for precise details with ink. You may try a smoother paper like Bristol paper, for example.

P.S.: I’m an absolute beginner myself.

I’m happy to take on these courses. I actually have been drawing before taking lessons. I have a question. I’m in to fine line drawing. Can I use the UniPin pens (0.03 and 0.05) for the lessons?

Also, I have Arches Aquarelle Watercolor Paper (Cold Pressed). Can I use this paper for the lessons?
