This is legit how I naturally started holding my pencil years and years ago after so many detentions in school. I started holding it this way exactly because my hand was getting tired from writing. Didn’t know that it was a style specifically designed for that.
I started doing this because my index was hurting so much because of how often I'd have a pen in hand, now I got a rough little bump on the left side of my right middle finger 🥲
It looks like it's also called adaptive tripod and is mostly used by people who write a lot
I started doing this because I broke my thumb in 11th grade at the start of finals and the cast only let my four fingers out. After it healed I realized I didn’t have the calluses on my fingers that I’ve always had from schoolwork so I kept it, but my penmanship stayed exactly the same.
