Use a 2B pencil. Hard-pen calligraphy generally uses 2B pencils. 2B pencils are soft pencils. The depth of the 2B pencil ink is suitable for exam card reading and easy writing. When applying a certain area, soft pencils are easier to apply evenly, have a metallic luster and are not easy to break. There are many kinds of pencils on the market, and the shapes of pen barrels are also various. For children, it is best to choose the traditional "hexagonal Zhonghua brand pencil", which is more suitable for writing in all aspects. Be sure to sharpen your pencil well, not too sharp or too thick. If the pencil you just sharpened is too sharp, lightly scratch it on the scrap paper. If the pencil is too sharp, you can turn the pencil and write in another direction.
Hard-pen calligraphy is a bright pearl in the garden of calligraphy art. Its writing tools include pens, gel pens, art pens, pencils, chalks, etc., using ink or powder media as the main carrier to express the writing skills of Chinese characters and other characters.
