Do you practice writing brush or pen first?

If you want to write well in a short time, you can practice pen writing; If you want to practice calligraphy, you might as well practice writing brush.

Practicing writing is practicing calligraphy, and practicing writing brush is calligraphy. Writing and calligraphy are two completely different concepts.

The purpose of practicing calligraphy is to pursue the standardization of writing, focusing on the correct and beautiful font; Calligraphy, on the other hand, is based on practicing calligraphy, paying attention to the connotation of calligraphy, the interest of pen and ink, and the unity of spirit, form and quality.

Usually, you just start practicing calligraphy. Without any calligraphy foundation, you can start from practicing calligraphy. This is mainly because the hard pen is more practical and easy to practice. It can be seen everywhere in daily work, study and life. You just need a pen to practice.

Secondly, hard pen has a strong educational significance. The teacher's chalk writing is a reflection of hard pen writing, and good-looking chalk writing will exert a subtle influence on students. Similarly, hard pen is basically regarded as the embodiment of personal cultivation and an important way to express personal habits.

In fact, pen and brush are two different font systems, but all the brushwork and structure are still inextricably linked. So as long as the hard pen and brush are practiced, it will be helpful to practice calligraphy in the future.

No matter how you practice calligraphy or pen, you should stick to it. If you practice some every day, you will certainly make progress.
