Just choose a standard medium-sized pen tip, and the strength of the written words is easy to come out. If you write running script or cursive script, it is recommended to use italics, with smooth writing and elegant font. Then there is the kind of fine-pointed pen, which I usually use to write small seal strokes evenly and coherently. Carbon black is recommended for ink.
The advantage of writing with a pen is the feedback when writing, because the pen is metal. Compared with the writing brush, the contact between the pen tip and the paper is smoother, and the feedback feeling brought by a slight increase in friction is stronger. Moreover, a great benefit brought by the solid nib is that the control over the pen is greatly enhanced, and the writing rhythm is fast and slow, depending on the pressure.
Characteristics of hard pen calligraphy:
Hard pen calligraphy is called hard pen calligraphy because its writing tools are not as soft as writing brushes, and people need to rely on strong arm strength and skills to control it, but hard pen calligraphy. Only by mastering writing skills through certain exercises can we write good Chinese characters.
Because the nib is thinner and easier to control than the brush, the lines written can't be as varied as the brush, and the font is small and practical. Therefore, in life, hard-pen calligraphy is widely used in work, study and other fields, so hard-pen calligraphy training has sprung up in recent years.
The pens used for practicing calligraphy are also ordinary pens, ballpoint pens, carbon pens or 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.
The pencil uses a lead instead of a traditional writing brush, which is light and easy to carry and can be used for portable writing exercises. Pencils have different hardness grades and are used for different fonts, lines and handwriting styles.
