The main reason is that the basic skills are not solid. Maybe this is arbitrary, so why is there such a big gap between pen and brush? I think: 1, practice the basic skills-regular script (color style). 2, pay attention to the structure of the word and the method of using the pen (light lift and light press). 3. Practice more with a brush (especially rice paper).
Pen characters are classified as hard pens in calligraphy. This is similar to China's practice of using wolf hair in small print in calligraphy. Since the wrist is easy to master, practice more first, even if you use a brush, just like the zoom function of a copier. Doing so is likely to get twice the result with half the effort.
In real life, many people's calligraphy (running script) is better, but if we look deeply, we can really find many shortcomings. Because of the habit formed over the years, I do whatever I want. To put it bluntly, I float or float a little. This is a taboo in calligraphy. As long as you have practiced calligraphy, you will know that practicing calligraphy is very hard and there is a feeling of "unattainable". If you are valued by other colleagues, you will feel a little "aloof". At this time, you should calm down and practice your basic skills.
Some comrades, after practicing for a while, feel that little progress has been made. At this time, when they return to the starting point, they can stop and practice regular script more. Then write your favorite font. It is suggested that we should practice writing more for the convenience of communication. You can also pick up a brush and practice, which will be of great benefit.
Until the end, I will find that there is no difference between a pen and a brush. It's time for you to practice your calligraphy to a certain level.
I wish everyone can "write well and speak fluent and standard Mandarin".
