1. Sitting position : I do calligraphy while sitting on the floor and putting my LED Table on my bad, ( i will post the pic soon). Unfortunately, we don't have much enough space at our home, where I can put a study desk, or study table. Ok ( we don't have a dining table,,,
, we have just normal tables).
2. I can try to put cushion ( bunch of papers? or an old news papers?) beneath my LED board? Sorry i am pretty confused here
1. You have done some very nice work while sitting on the floor, so, it should be fine for you to continue. Beautiful art has been created for centuries by people who are not sitting at a desk, so, there is no reason that it should be a problem for you.
I once had to teach a class where people were in an auditorium writing on clip boards in their laps and it worked out just fine.
2. I am not a big fan of LED boards, even though I know they are very popular. When you are writing on one sheet of paper that is on a hard surface, there is no *cushion* and the nib skates along on the paper a little faster than if you have cushion.
The feel of writing on a single sheet of paper on an LED board is for many of us old-timers - very unpleasant. We grew up writing on a cushioned surface and it is doubtful that a hard surface will ever feel right. I don't think it is just personal preference. I think students who are willing to try some cushion often feel the benefit.
If you have ever written on a very glossy paper, you will notice that it is more difficult than writing on paper with some *tooth.* Tooth is the word for how smooth, or rough, the paper is. The slippery papers are similar to the feel of writing on a very hard surface with no cushion.
The cushion provides some flexibility to the surface. It will slow the nib down just bit. So there is a combination of the tooth of the paper as well as the amount of *give* in the surface that affects your writing.
The easiest way to get some give to your surface is to write on a stack of 3 or 4 sheets of paper. On an LED board, this will not let enough light through if you want to see your guidelines. Luckily, there is a product that gives cushion to your paper that is translucent and will solve the problem on an LED board. It is a packing material that comes in a variety of sizes and thicknesses.
This is just one product.
They usually sell packages of sheets at office supply stores.
