The artistic "human element" surely shines through. It's obviously not for every situation. But they really do some nice looking work.

Can you say "Wacom Envy"?

Heh....I grew up in a time where cursive was taught since first grade. In my mom's generation, cursive was the gold standard, and I envy her beautiful handwriting.

My problem is that I'm left handed and my letters don't slant...matter of fact they look pretty crummy. Sad thing it is. There's a huge difference between pushing and pulling a pen, (or quill brush for that matter). I'd be interested in watching how the lefty signwriters did their magic.

Dad should have been left handed, but that was a time when fountain pens were king and ink smears were the devil. They essentially beat the left-handedness right out of him. His penmanship was dang near that of a doctor...and I always blamed his short-sighted teachers back in the day.

I tried Leonardo daVinci's method of mirror writing and I discovered that I can write BEAUTIFUL cursive backwards...flowing letters, slants and all.

Maybe I just need to write it backwards on a Wacom and then mirror it....huh, never crossed my mind until just now. Still...it's very limited compared to being able to make it work when writing correctly.

I remember using Speedball pens in art class in the late 70s. It was fun, but my work could never rival that of my right-handed counterparts.. I strongly suspect that Mrs. Smith gave me right-handed nibs....dang her.

I should give it another try...maybe this time with Hebrew, Aramaic, or Arabic...since they're all written right to left.

Ha, ha...I never got a chance to discuss the matter with dad. I'm sure he'd have much to say about it. Never the less, I passed that trait along to my son who appears to be totally left-side dominate.

My daughter's 4-year-old son is a lefty. He's also auburn haired and blue-eyed which is a very rare combination. Research suggests that lefty gingers are relatively common, though.

Nothing pleases this papa more than seeing that little guy scrawling out something with that southpaw...complete with his tongue hanging out for extra dexterity.
