I really like these videos of yours. Even after years.

[@walterchamberlain9052]

Nice video, Lindsey. You are very relatable (the modern, e-version of approachable, lol). I always thought that, generally speaking, left handers tend to slant left, while right handers slant right. And also (generally) left handers, because of the way they have to hold the pen (and not smudge what they just wrote) tended to be a bit less legible (or perhaps less uniform)-but my mother, who was left handed, had beautiful penmanship/handwriting (which slanted right). I sometimes try and copy her upper case "W" since it's the first letter of my first name. Please keep up the great videos.

[@LindseyBugbeeTPK]

Thank you so much for your kind words and support! I'm so glad that you find my videos relatable and enjoyable. :) Regarding your observation about left-handers and their handwriting, you're right that there can be some general tendencies, but, of course, handwriting varies from person to person, regardless of handedness. Left-handers often adapt their writing style to avoid smudging, which can sometimes result in a slightly different hand position or letter formation. However, as you mentioned with your mother's beautiful penmanship, there are always exceptions to these generalizations. I'd think it would be easier for a lefty to achieve a right-leaning slant given that the left hand is already moving toward the right in order to write. BUT, my father and maternal grandmother are/were both lefties with a left-leaning slant. That said, my mother, a righty, also writes with a left-leaning slant. Maybe it started as a way to imitate her mother's handwriting ... ? It's wonderful that you admire your mother's uppercase "W" and find inspiration in it. Handwriting is be a personal and unique expression of ourselves, and it's a quilt of what we like! Definitely keep exploring different letterforms and finding joy in the art of writing. Thank you for your continued support, and I appreciate your kind feedback. I'll do my best to keep creating helpful and engaging videos! If you have any specific requests or topics you'd like me to cover, please let me know. Happy writing!

[@tuluppampam]

​@@LindseyBugbeeTPKanother important thing to keep in mind in writing is how the medium affects everything It's easier to write descending strokes with a pen, so a right-handed person would prefer a right slant as it allows for more of those pulling motions A brush favours vertical lines once again, which resulted in the Amazing calligraphy you might find in Chinese books

[@pri_shay_dior]

You write your "D"s the way my dad used to. I loved his signature. He'd practice it once every week or two. It was easier for me to mimic my mom's signature because her letters were much more simple. My signature has always varied. Recently I switched to using my first initial because writing my first name takes too much thought. However, I like my first name too much to keep doing that. Hopefully, your tips help!

[@LindseyBugbeeTPK]

I think signature is definitely fluid; mine chances depending on the day! I hope that my tips help you, too. :) Thank you for watching!!

hahaha I'm glad I'm not the only one who could forge a parent's signature. I nailed my dad's perfectly but not my mom's.

Also remember you’re not forced to write your name ! I have a composed first name ( they’re not very common in English, but imagine someone called, idk, John-Peter as their first name), so I used the two initials from my first name and the one from my last name to make my signature. It’s especially easy with a composed first or last name, but you can also use a second name, it does the job. Also, plenty of people are famous for three letters acronyms : FDR, JFK, LBJ, DSK in France,…

[@LindseyBugbeeTPK]

how to forge walt diseneys signature

[@bryansebeck]

I came across this video because we got a new laser marker at work and I plan on using it to mark my signature on the back panels of furniture that I build, but want to up my signature game first. The video is super helpful. The only thing I’m slightly surprised by is that you’re using a Pilot G2 ball point instead of a fountain pen. Is that because a ball point is something that most people are familiar with, or do you genuinely prefer them? I’m kind of curious because my brain immediately thinks “well of course somebody doing a video about signatures would use a fountain pen, they’re so much easier on the hand and promote a healthier grip”.

[@LindseyBugbeeTPK]

I'm using a Pilot G2 because most people are familiar with it -- I wanted to ensure that this video is accessible and relatable. :) The Pilot Falcon is my go-to pen, but it's not something that a lot of people have laying around (plus, it's not something that I personally take on the go, like to the bank etc. I'd just be sick if I lost it)!

[@KingaMoor]

This is an excellent video. I like how you demonstrated many ways to write and improve your signature. My only question is why are some initials written in an unorthodox or sometimes unreadable style from regular cursive style? Growing up while learning how to write letters, I always thought standard cursive handwriting was the only way to write your signature.

[@LindseyBugbeeTPK]

Thank you for your kind words and for bringing up such a great question! Signatures are fascinating because they're as unique as the people who write them. While standard cursive is often the starting point for learning to write, when it comes to signatures, the rules can be bent a bit. This is because a signature is not just about writing your name; it's a personal mark that represents you. It can be as legible or as stylized as you prefer. Some people choose to make their signatures more ornate or abstract to add a layer of security or to convey a certain artistic flair. As long as it consistently represents you and you can reproduce it reliably, your signature is doing its job. I hope this helps clarify things, and I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Keep experimenting with your signature until it feels just right for you.

[@KingaMoor]

Well, when I write my name to fill out forms, I write it in all caps while using ligature (the letters connect). When I sign my name, it's lowercase except the first letter and my last name… well, the first two letters are recognizable and the rest is a line with two pips.

[@LindseyBugbeeTPK]

Thank you for sharing your approach! It's fascinating to hear about the unique ways people customize their signatures to fit different contexts. Your method of using ligatures for filling out forms and incorporating lowercase letters in your signature adds a personal touch to your writing. Each signature tells a story, and yours sounds like it has a distinctive flair. Keep experimenting and finding what works best for you!

[@petriepretorius4085]

In connection with the slant... I know no one else that rotates the document to be signed by 90 degrees anti clock wise... My signature goes like an up arrow and the P makes half a planetary ring shape... Because i like planets... And i am an artist with a love for engineering... To add to your ideas if you want to, add what you are most known by in your signature... Make it unique to you... And do not be limited by straight signature, rotate... You can even place the capital letters of your name and surname radially, like a radial engine, think logo... In essence your hand signature is your own personal logo... And refine it by exercising it a lot...

I found this video because I was wondering if these signature designing companies (MySign, ArtLogo etc.) are worth it, or if they even work to help you redesign your signature. This video is great and I think I will play around with my signature now by myself, but I am still wondering if those companies are worth it, also subscribed the channel looks like a pen nerds dream! I think it would be cool to hear your take on those types of services. BTW great choice of background plant Tradescantia are gorgeous!

[@LindseyBugbeeTPK]

Hi Anthony! First off, thank you so much for subscribing and the kind words about the channel - I'm thrilled you see it as a "pen nerd's dream" because that's exactly the vibe I'm going for! 😊 Regarding the signature designing companies like MySign and ArtLogo, here's my take: while these services might offer a unique design, the authenticity of a signature lies in its personal touch. It can be challenging to adopt and feel connected to a signature that you haven't developed yourself. That personal connection to a signature, especially one you use often, is paramount. While these services can certainly offer inspiration or a starting point, I personally feel it's most rewarding and genuine when you've played a role in its evolution. I'd encourage you to play around with different styles and structures for your signature. The process can be quite therapeutic and fun! And remember, your signature is an extension of you. It should feel as natural as your handwriting. And yes! Tradescantia plants are absolutely stunning. Their vibrant colors and easy-care nature make them one of my favorites. Glad you noticed and appreciate them too! Thanks again for tuning in and for your thoughtful comment. Keep those pen vibes flowing! 🖋️ Warm regards, Lindsey

Fun Fact or Urban Myth, but a famous lawyer in my country writes books about all the things people get wrong about Law etc. The thing I remember the most is that you can sign a contract with whatever you want as you want to fulfil and execute and perform this contract. So at the checkout or with the parcel delivery person, I just sign something, like a scribble or a Zigzag line because I want to buy this product or i want to receive and open that parcel package.

[@LindseyBugbeeTPK]

That's very interesting! Contract law can indeed have some intriguing nuances. While the signature's purpose is to indicate a party's intention to be bound by the agreement's terms, the actual form or style of the signature might not always be crucial. What's important -- as you point out -- is the genuine intention behind it. That said, it's always good to be consistent with signatures, especially on important legal documents, to avoid potential disputes. But for casual transactions like at the checkout or receiving a parcel, a scribble or a unique mark suffices as long as both parties understand and accept it as a sign of agreement. Always interesting to learn about different practices from around the world! 🖊️

Honestly, I had never considered reimagining my signature. I have been doing it roughly the same way since my teens, & im 50 this year! Do you think it's too late to change it? Or is it never too late? Also, what are your thoughts on the reasons for eanting to change? In my case, it's because i largely just emmulated my late father's signature rather than "created" my own. Id value your input.

[@LindseyBugbeeTPK]

Absolutely, it's never too late to change your signature! Reinventing your signature can be a refreshing way to express your current identity, mark a new chapter in your life, or simply bring more joy into the everyday act of signing your name. Your signature is a personal symbol, and evolving it to reflect who you are today can be a meaningful process. The reasons for wanting to change your signature can vary greatly from person to person. In your case, wanting to create a signature that feels uniquely yours rather than an emulation of your late father's is both a beautiful and valid reason. It speaks to a desire for individuality and perhaps a way to express your identity separately from your lineage while still honoring your connection to your father. :)

[@johngallagher912]

What do you do when your state validates your vote by signature. I would like to improve my signature but then I couldn't vote.

[@LindseyBugbeeTPK]

That's a very valid concern. When your state validates your vote by signature, it's important to ensure that your signature remains consistent, especially for official documents and voting purposes. If you're looking to improve your signature, you might consider making subtle enhancements that don't drastically change its overall structure. This way, your signature can evolve aesthetically while still being recognizable as yours. Remember, while experimenting with your signature, keep practicing and using your original one for official matters like voting. Over time, as your improved signature becomes more consistent, you can gradually start using it for more formal situations. Just ensure it's a gradual transition to avoid any issues with signature validation. And, as always, you can adjust your signature based on the situation. While you don't have much creative wiggle room when using your signature for voting, for example, you do have wiggle room when signing a receipt, for example. I hope this helps!

[@redmoss666]

A little friendl advice: avoid making your signature too illegible, flourishy or very different from your normal handwriting because it's a sign of dishonesty and/or putting on an act. Also if you want to put big strokes or lines in it, try underlining your name, rather than crossing it out or covering it from above. Crossing out your family name means issues with either your father (and maybe family) or your husband if you have his name. Crossing out your entire name or your first name is a sign of suicidal thoughts. Underlining from left to right suggests confidence and ambition.

[@LindseyBugbeeTPK]

A sign of dishonesty to whom?

[@LordVilmore]

This is just made up. My advice, just get yourself any signature that you like.

[@lithlily5651]

This is not made up, this is an actual field of psychologies used by crime fighting, job hunting and probably a few therapists as well. We do not need to like the associations or even agree with these interpretations. But whether we agree or disagree does not change the fact that we will definitely have contact to people who interpret our signature in that way and we will most likely not be told when it happens. I would certainly not say "wow, your signature tells me that you are lacking confidence, so why should I trust you to be able to do the job?" What I interpret with a certain style might not be the same as the interpretation of the majority of the other people. And my signature is literally the signature of my person. It will reflect parts of my character, whether I want it, or not, so I want to make sure that I send the picture of myself that I want to see other people as well. I want it to look and feel nice for me, but that is not much worth if other people get the wrong idea about me because of my way of writing. I think it is definitely complicated to consider those interpretations while working on my signature. Nonetheless I might be worth the extra effort.

Hi! Thanks for this question. Even if your name doesn't have ascenders or descenders, you can still create a beautiful and unique signature! Focus on adding style and flair to the letters you do have. You can experiment with flourishes, loops, or extending the horizontal strokes of your letters. Another option is to play around with the size and slant of your letters to make your signature stand out. I saw this article the other day, and I felt like it was pretty inspirational.

Tips for lefthandhanded?

[@LindseyBugbeeTPK]

Hi there! I'd recommend most of the same tips for righties as for lefties, with a few exceptions. :) Here are some things to keep in mind: Slant Your Signature: Experiment with slanting your signature slightly to the right. This can help improve the flow and readability of your writing as a left-handed person. Practice Consistently: Regular practice is key to improving your signature. Set aside some time each day to practice your signature, focusing on making it more fluid and controlled. Use the Right Tools: Find a pen or writing instrument that works well for you. Some left-handed individuals prefer pens with quick-drying ink to minimize smudging. Write Slowly: Take your time when signing documents or creating your signature. Writing slowly and deliberately can help you maintain control over your strokes. Watch Your Hand Position: Pay attention to your hand position while writing. Experiment with different grips and angles to find the most comfortable and efficient way to write. Experiment with Styles: Try out different signature styles to see which one feels most natural and looks best to you. Focus on Letter Formation: Pay attention to the individual letters in your signature. Practice forming each letter clearly and consistently. Use Guide Sheets: Create guide sheets with the proper size and proportions of your signature to help you maintain consistency. Observe Others: Take a look at signatures from people whose handwriting you admire. Observing different styles can give you inspiration and ideas for improving your own signature. Embrace Uniqueness: Remember that everyone's signature is unique, and that's part of its charm. Embrace your own personal style and work on making it the best version of itself.

[@whatsyourexcuse927]

I've had the worst penmanship for over 40 years with an even worse signature. I've changed it a few times trying to make it better but it doesn't work for me. I sign my name multiple times a day and I've always notice that if someone is standing over me waiting, my signature gets super shorthand chicken scratch, almost like my brain won't let me sign. I'm gonna try this method and hope it works.

[@LindseyBugbeeTPK]

I'm really glad you're willing to give this method a try! Changing a signature, especially one you've had for a long time, can definitely be a challenge, but it's absolutely possible with some patience and practice. It's pretty common for signatures to become a bit rushed or even turn into 'chicken scratch' when you're feeling rushed or observed-it happens to the best of us. The key is to practice at your own pace and in a relaxed environment initially, so you can gradually build confidence in your new signature. Remember, consistency is key, and even just a few minutes of focused practice each day can make a big difference. I'm rooting for you and hope you'll find the process rewarding. Please feel free to share your progress or any further challenges you might encounter. You've got this!

Sure! A lot of people combine print and script (cursive) in their signatures. That's sometimes informally called "pursive" (print + cursive). If it feels right to you, go for it!

thanks for this! really helpful!

How do you make a slant?

[@LindseyBugbeeTPK]

Hi there! To write your signature with a right-leaning slant, follow these steps. They'll be opposite for a left-leaning slant: Understand the Slant: Decide on the angle of slant you want for your signature. A right-leaning slant means the letters will be tilted slightly to the right as you write. Position the Paper: Place your paper at an angle that allows you to comfortably write with a right-leaning slant. You can tilt the paper slightly to the left if you are right-handed, or tilt it to the right if you are left-handed. Practice the Signature: Start by practicing your signature on scrap paper. Pay attention to the angle of the letters and make adjustments as needed to achieve the right-leaning slant. Relaxed Hand Movement: Use a relaxed hand movement as you write your signature. Avoid applying too much pressure on the pen, as this can cause the letters to widen and affect the slant. Consistency: Aim for consistency in the slant of each letter in your signature. Try to maintain the right-leaning angle throughout the entire signature. Experiment and Refine: Take your time to experiment with different angles and styles until you find the right-leaning slant that you like best. It's okay to practice multiple times to refine your signature. Confidence: Write your signature with confidence, and don't worry too much about achieving absolute perfection. Signatures can vary slightly each time you write them, and that's normal.

You're welcome!

[@zackfair6203]

My name neither has ascenders nor descenders. Not sure what to do with that 😢

[@LindseyBugbeeTPK]

Is it "Zack"? If so, the "Z" can have a descender if you write it in cursive. :) If not, you can always embellish the entry stroke or the exit stroke of both of your names.

[@zackfair6203]

@@LindseyBugbeeTPK thanks for your reply! First name starts with an S, last name with an L. The rest are just "normal" Hight letters, which makes it really boring. But will try to play around with it - tips or ideas are still welcome though ☺

I’m an artist but I always had trouble with cursive writing and signatures because my hand is too stiff and precise, it isn’t used to flowing motions…

[@LindseyBugbeeTPK]

It's quite common for artists to have a precise and controlled hand, which can indeed make the flowing motions of cursive writing a bit challenging. One tip is to practice with exercises that encourage fluidity, like loops and waves, to gradually train your hand to loosen up. It's about finding the right balance between control and freedom in your movement. Keep at it, and with time, you'll likely find a signature style that complements your artistic skills beautifully!

Can you suggest a beautiful signature for Muhammad Ansar

[@LindseyBugbeeTPK]

I'm so sorry; I don't create custom signatures. However, I think your name has so much potential with the "M" and the "A". I would really capitalize on that "M" and make a cool flourish and be dramatic about that cross on the "A".

[@cameroncook3863]

I really like Walts printed signature. I have to sign a guitar I'm selling and I have no signature and my writing is terrible 😭😭. I enjoyed yr vid 👍

[@LindseyBugbeeTPK]

Thank you for watching and for your kind words! Walt Disney's printed signature is indeed iconic. Remember, a signature is a personal expression, and it's never too late to develop or refine one. Even if you feel your writing isn't the best, with a bit of practice, you can create a signature that you're proud of, especially for something as special as signing a guitar. Keep practicing and experimenting until you find a style that feels right for you. Best of luck with your guitar sale!

[@thomaskauffman983]

My struggle has always with having two f's in the middle my last name with there letters before and also after. Ugh!

[@LindseyBugbeeTPK]

Oh, I'd love to write your last name if I had an extra second! Double f's are tough, but once you figure out a creative way to write them side by side, they can be really neat. I normally make the second "f" a bit different from the first.

[@tommypaget2294]

In my job, there’s people clammering to get my signature, get it quickly, sometimes in bad lighting conditions, sometimes listening to 3 others conversations at the same time, sometimes with rain drizzling over the document, with the loud din of machinery nearby, had to get about 25 signatures done per job, requiring preferably less than 2 secs per signature.

[@LindseyBugbeeTPK]

It sounds like as you develop your signature, you'll need to keep timing in mind as a factor! If you're Tommy Paget, I'd put an emphasis on the "T", "m", and "y" for the first name and the "P", "g", and "t" for the last name. You could try coming up with a signature that doesn't require you to lift your pen from the page, which would save time. :) Definitely worth doing some experimenting!

[@tommypaget2294]

That’s what I did. Thanks.

[@tirvine9102]

As a kid I emphasized the captials and literally scribbled the rest as a bitter parody of cursive. Over the years I lost the last intitial and any sense of consistency and now kinda hate it. Part of me wishes I went through a process like this... Might be rediculous to ask, but are we allowed to change it? Always something that seemed legally set in stone. Where as my printed artist's signature has changed.

[@LindseyBugbeeTPK]

Absolutely, it's entirely common and acceptable to want to refine or change your signature over time. Signatures often evolve as we grow and our preferences change. Your experience with your childhood signature and how it has evolved resonates with many people. Signatures hold personal and legal significance, but they aren't necessarily set in stone. People's signatures can change for various reasons, including improving legibility, making it more unique, or simply reflecting your current self. Legally speaking, signatures are considered a form of identification and authorization, and changes might require updating official documents. However, making changes to your signature is typically allowed, as long as your new signature still maintains a certain level of consistency and can be reasonably recognized as yours. Your printed artist's signature changing is another example of how signatures can adapt to suit your style or preferences. If you're considering changing your signature, you might want to practice it for a while until you're comfortable with the new version. It's always a good idea to update important documents, like your ID or financial accounts, if your signature changes significantly. In short, while there may be a process to follow when changing your signature, it's definitely not ridiculous to consider. People change their signatures for a variety of reasons, and it's ultimately a personal choice that reflects your identity and preferences.

Even though even the cursive variant of 'Walt Disney' looks really nice from you i'd say that the original signature of Walt Disney is absolutely perfect and always preferrable.

What can i do with my name -Austin?

[@LindseyBugbeeTPK]

Hi Austin! Great question! Improving your signature often involves considering the distinct characteristics of your own name and how you can enhance them. Here are some things you might consider doing with "Austin": - Emphasize the "A": Your name starts with a wonderful letter that can be stylized in many ways. You might want to try a larger, more stylized capital "A" since it's the first letter and sets the tone for the rest of the signature. - Play with Loops: The "t" in your name offers a great opportunity for looping, which can add flair to your signature. Consider elongating the cross of the 't' or creating a loop with the upward stroke. - Letter Spacing: Experiment with the spacing between letters. Sometimes, a signature can have a stronger impact if the letters are either closely connected or have distinctive spaces between them. - Underline for Impact: After you've written "Austin," try adding a swift, confident underline beneath it. This can immediately make your signature look more authoritative and stylish. - Practice Makes Perfect: Lastly, remember that refining your signature comes down to practice. Try out different styles, combine the elements you like best, and practice until you find a version that feels both comfortable and personally satisfying. I hope this helps!

That's a creative and unique way to personalize your signature, especially if your name starts with an "A"! Signatures are a reflection of our individuality, and your approach adds a personal touch to your name. The star and squiggly lines certainly make it stand out. Remember that a signature should be both distinctive and legible, and it sounds like your signature accomplishes that beautifully. Thanks for sharing your signature style with me! 😊🌟
