The bottom row is below the home row. Your left hand learns Z, X, C, V and B.
The fingers curl slightly downwards: little finger to Z, ring finger to X, middle finger to C, and index finger to V and B. The reach is shorter than the top row, but the angle feels strange at first.
Keep the wrist still. If it bends, the hand loses its place on the home row.
Watch for this: Looking down to find the bottom row. The keys are right under your fingers. Trust them.
