Practice pen control skills

First of all, the writing method must be scientific and reasonable. Otherwise, the movements of writing techniques will be restricted and cannot be fully and effectively played normally, resulting in some movements not being done in place when writing strokes, resulting in the inability to write key details.

Secondly, the pen action must be correctly standardized, otherwise, it is difficult to show the ideal shape, texture and charm. Usually we practice the coordination of fingering, wrist and elbow by drawing circles, straight lines, isolated lines and curves.
