Probably a stupid question that I never had before and just went with it , but what do you write with a straight holder and a pointed nib ? I mean , I was writing with a straight one for over a year , but when I finally got a comfortable oblique I realized how it ' s supposed to be done , you know ? And after that I just can ' t do anything with a straight holder the tines doesn ' t open equally , so you get jagged edges and bleeds . So , is there a place for a pointed straight pen ? I ' ve seen Paul Antonio ' s videos where he says it ' s actually the ones for copperplate , but I can ' t understand how he does it and why . Or let ' s put it differently how do I write copperplate with a straight pen ? Do you just have to twist your hand that much ?
