Practice with an O.5 2B mechanical pencil. Extend the pen core a little. If you press the pen too hard, it will break. You should see results in a week. Another point, your strokes are too heavy, probably because your strokes are already heavy. In order to distinguish them from ordinary strokes, you can only make the strokes heavier? Or if your basic skills are not solid, it is recommended that you practice basic strokes again, write silently in your mind while looking at the copybook, and then practice on paper. When you make a small improvement, you can think of a few words to bring into writing. From the point of view of using a pen, practicing calligraphy is just a matter of learning the importance and priority. , angles, straightness, etc., the structure is also the size, proportion, angle of each part in all directions... The strokes are learned through practice, and the structure can be seen by reading the posts. Combining the two and practicing can make a small difference. . I have practiced with Sima Yan in the past eight years (I have forgotten all about it now), and I have also learned some examples from "Hard-tipped Calligraphy Grading Examination" from Mr. Qi Gong. I recently read Wen Zhengming's work, which is considered a beginner. I hope it can help you. . If you still have any questions, please message me.
