If you just want to make your handwriting look good, it doesn't matter if you don't require any family level. It's better to practice than not to practice.
But if you want to study calligraphy professionally, it's different.
I suggest you learn brush calligraphy first, then pen calligraphy.
Why do I suggest you learn calligraphy first, and then learn pen calligraphy?
Learning to write with a brush and practicing with a pen should be no problem. On the other hand, it won't work. People who can write with a pen, even those who can write with a good pen, can't read with a brush.
Brush writing needs to be adjusted, but brush strokes don't. As long as you master the structure, you can basically write the strokes exactly the same.
Note that I didn't mean to isolate a font.
Even if you learn pen writing first, it will help your calligraphy. It's better to learn the brush first and then the pen, which is less difficult.
To put it bluntly, learning calligraphy is to see if you can use tools.
You have learned to use a pen as a tool. You may not know how to use a brush. Pens are basically fast in Kamijozu, because they don't need to be adjusted.
The brush won't work and the bristles are soft. If you can't adjust the front, the bristles will be messy. Even if you can write with a pen, you can't write with a brush.
Learn China's calligraphy first, then China's. You will make rapid progress!
The turning point of pen and ink stippling is actually a simulated brush, so it will be written with a brush, and then it will make rapid progress!
On the other hand, don't say that you have made rapid progress. You will find that you can write with a pen and pick up a brush, just like a beginner, you have to learn again.
Conclusion:
Why do you say this order is to avoid detours. Learn Chinese calligraphy first, and then learn Chinese calligraphy, and the difficulties will become less and less. If the other way around, it is simply two fields.
The more you learn, the harder it is for you to learn. If you lose interest, it is easy to give up. It's a pity that you can write with a pen, not a brush. Tell me your suggestion.
