Rizo's classic hard-pen calligraphy works appreciate the characteristics of hard-pen calligraphy, mainly compared with brush calligraphy. First, because the material of the hard pen tip is relatively hard, its line changes are not as soft as those of the soft pen-the brush changes greatly; Second, because the commonly used hard pens are mainly pens, ballpoint pens and pencils. The lines are much more delicate than the brush, so the font is much smaller, even smaller than the fine print of the brush; Thirdly, due to the material of the pen, the hard pen is easier to control than the brush.
Zhang Cheng's excellent hard-pen calligraphy pictures are mainly running script, and some cursive writing methods are used for reference to meet the needs of daily work, study and life. Mainly pens, including ballpoint pens and pencils. Practical hard pen calligraphy mainly emphasizes practicality, but it emphasizes artistry. Practical hard-pen calligraphy can be written easily and recognized easily. The key is to write quickly and regularly.

Tools and materials for hard pen calligraphy and writing practice can be made of ordinary paper. Of course, when writing with a pen, it is required that the paper is not soaked in water. The pens used for practicing calligraphy are also ordinary pens, ballpoint pens and pencils. It is best for the pen to run smoothly, especially when carbon ink is used, it should be washed with clear water frequently, because carbon ink is easy to agglomerate and block the pen. When using a pen, you should also pay attention to putting on the pen cover in time when you are not writing, so as to avoid the ink from caking due to evaporation of water.
There are different opinions about the method of writing. For writing brushes, there are? There is no way to write? Say, someone said? Beginners should hold the pen carefully, so that they can practice their strength. When they are proficient, they are required to get on and off, so that they can play freely? . Even if the parts of the pen are different, the forms of the words written will be very different. For hard pens, the general writing method is that the middle finger holds the pen at the bottom, and the forefinger and thumb hold the pen at the top to control the pen holder, so that writing is comfortable and natural, and the pen can be used freely in all directions. The pen holding position is low, and the pen control ability is enhanced, but it is difficult to stretch when writing; Because of the high position, it is difficult to control the pen, but you can write long and stretched strokes freely. Therefore, you should ponder carefully, experience for yourself, and find a writing method that suits you. You might as well pick up a pen and try to write some simple words on the manuscript paper, big or small, fast or slow, tight or light, low or high. Try more and see if you can use them freely. Doing this often can not only find a suitable writing method, but also exercise your wrist and get familiar with the brushwork, so that your hands, eyes and heart can achieve better coordination and unity.
