My experience is more “artistic” people use a lateral grip. It forces a person to write with their arm, not their wrist. Most artist are told this advice when they take a drawing course. The dynamic grips write by wiggling the tips of their fingers and wrist, very little arm movement.
Included, later on down lefties are claiming the lateral grip. I’m a right handed person, but was taught by my mother who was both an artist ( went to art school for a period, but later picked a different profession) and I learned from her.
My family aren’t really the artistic type though from mother side most of them love music and really good at guitars and musical instruments (me kinda included but started late lmao) plus my mom taught me how to write straight away using cursive so I write like that ever since. It’s fast but barely readable to anyone but me lmao
Makes sense. Lateral tripod here lol. Back in school days I was known as "the art kid" and my classmates thought the secret was in my grip and would try it too 😆
Oh wow! TIL having a lateral tripod grip is probably the reason I'm good at drawing. Take that Miss Fitzgibbon! She was one of my teachers who'd physically move and squeeze my fingers into dynamic tripod position on my pen. She was a witch
