Is it better to practice writing with a pen or a black charcoal pen?

It is best to use a pen, and use a carbon pen after you have a foundation, because the carbon pen has a ball and is difficult to control.

The so-called fast handwriting practice is an appropriate method, which can get twice the result with half the effort. If the method is improper, haste makes waste. My method is to break the basic strokes and radicals one by one, not the copybooks written in the market. Not so good. You just need to buy a basic copybook. Don't buy articles with many repetitive words. Personally, I prefer Pang Zhonghua, so I choose copybooks according to my own preferences. Just practice a few radicals and simple words every day, remember not to write more. You can't write too much. Write according to it first, then compare and analyze it, then color it in red, then understand it with your heart and copy it again. When combining radicals and basic characters, we should consider the size, density, priority, structure, center of gravity, degree of relaxation, and most importantly, we should have patience and confidence. With these, your writing will change by leaps and bounds. May your writing become more and more refined. Remember that writing is like eating, you should review every day and make new breakthroughs. The so-called heaven rewards diligence, and only hard work and diligence are shortcuts. Wish you success!
