Nowadays, most people in society choose to practice calligraphy not because they want to be calligraphers, but because they want to make their handwriting look more beautiful. Self-study is actually enough. Practicing calligraphy itself is a long-term process. In this process, our hands produce muscle memory, which changes our handwriting. Therefore, in the process of self-study, you can produce muscle memory and make your font change in your ideal direction.
Even those who specialize in calligraphy now, under the guidance of famous teachers, will not have ideal changes without long-term persistence. Moreover, many laws of calligraphy are interlinked, and the guidance of famous teachers can help us know our own shortcomings more quickly. But now that online courses are so developed, there are many free calligraphy tutorials to learn from, so the most important thing for us to learn calligraphy is not the guidance of famous teachers, but our long-term persistence.
Therefore, everyone should adjust their mentality when practicing calligraphy. If you want to practice your handwriting well, it is enough to have long-term self-persistence. There are many standards for the appreciation of calligraphy. Everyone has different ideas about good calligraphy. Everyone will have their own style even if they post it. This style is your most unique place. Therefore, in practicing calligraphy, as long as you are satisfied, your calligraphy can actually be said to be practiced, and the guidance of famous teachers is really not a necessary factor.
