Nib Big
I am going to start writing in a journal using a calligraphy pen What size of nib should I use?
The style of writing I do is Spencerian script but I am not sure what size I should use for my journal I don't want it to be extremely big but I want it about the size writing one would use on a regular notepad. I am left handed by the way so some of the nibs I want do not come for left anders so I have to work around that too.
Most right-handed writers use an oblique-penholder but left-handed writers can work with a straight pen holder. There are no 'left handed' nibs or holders for writing script. Those nibs that come in sizes are broad-edge nibs and are used differently. Script (Spencerian especially) uses pressure-release to generate the thick-thin lines. The broad-edge nibs (for foundational, italic, bookhand for example) uses the edge of the pen and angle to the paper to create the thick-thin lines---not pressure. Chancery Cursive is a form of Italic where letters are connected---hence, "Cursive".
See IAMPETH link below---there are lessons and videos showing the pen in action. Beyond Words site/video shows a left-handed scribe in action.
