Calligraphy,  Continued Left-handed calligraphy Left-handed  DMs  have  slightly  more  difficulty  in  lettering.  Left-handed DMs have three options that will make lettering easier to execute.    The first option is lettering with the hand above the top of the paper.    The second option is to purchase special pens with left oblique nibs and turn the sheet of paper slightly to the left. Lastly, left-handed DMs may use the same nib right-handers use but may need to turn the sheet of paper 90-degrees clockwise. Write from top to bottom taking care not to smear previously executed letters. Figure 5-59 illustrates the different lettering options open to left-handed letterers.
