Don't underestimate these strokes. If you practice them well and formally, it will be of great benefit to you in the future. So you should be patient, practice bit by bit, and don't rush for success. Besides, in this era, you don't need to write calligraphy at all, and you can take doing homework as a hobby.
After practicing strokes, buy a Datian font book (that is, a book that specializes in practicing calligraphy). If you practice with this book, it will be easier to master the structure of words and look good when you write it. Of course, you should practice while reading a book. There will be instructions in the book. You can also imitate copybooks and see how others spell the strokes correctly.
At the beginning, of course, it is to practice block letters, then to practice block letters (smoother than block letters), and then something else. While practicing writing brush, I also practice hard pen calligraphy. The combination of pen and pen is the best.
I think practicing calligraphy can also exercise people, cultivate concentration, perseverance, confidence, broaden their horizons and reduce their troubles. .
I believe your choice is not wrong!
