There is still a qualitative difference between the two, so the way of practice is different.
First, choose running script directly, because running script can be the most convenient for daily writing, with high recognition and the most opportunities for practice at ordinary times. Then you can choose modern calligraphers to copy directly, without interruption in a short period of time, and reviewing applications at ordinary times will have an effect;
Second, if you want to lay the foundation for future hard-pen calligraphy, or even practice soft-pen calligraphy, you should carefully choose posts. Personally, I don't approve of using the posts of modern calligraphers, because it will take more detours. I suggest that you first understand the history and evolution of calligraphy, and learn Sun's Book Score and its translation, so as to get close to the true meaning of calligraphy creation and choose the original posts in history for your own use. Beginners strive for fairness, choose Han Li such as Zhang Qianbei and Yan Di Da Kai, and then learn from Chinese friend Xiao Kai; Then advanced to Li Yong's big-character running script, Wang Xizhi's later running script and so on. Only when you are proficient and calm can you learn French jobs and create your own jobs.
