1, Ways to Improve Hard Pen Writing

(1) Selecting stickers: Learning brush calligraphy starts with learning ancient rubbings, but the ancients didn't write hard-pen calligraphy, so how should we choose stickers? It should be said that learning hard-pen calligraphy can choose ancient small letters and good copybooks written by modern people. The ancients started with Zhong Shaojing's Ling Fei Classic, and then other excellent lower case letters, such as those of Wen Zhiming and Wang Xizhi, can be used. Today's calligraphy can be learned from some well-written calligraphers' copybooks. The words that the ancients can pass down to this day must be well written. Nowadays, people write so many hard-pen copybooks, and the quality of copybooks on the market is mixed, so the choice of copybooks is actually quite particular.

(2) Pen selection: Pen, gel pen and pencil are all optional hard pen writing tools. According to the pen tip, there are two kinds: dark tip, sharp tip and curved tip. The strokes with curved tips vary in thickness and are suitable for writing larger characters. Generally choose sharp ones, just write habits. It is best to choose one that has certain elasticity, good quality and is not easy to leak ink. Gel pens generally use 0.7 refills. It will be slightly thicker than the usual 0.5. The performance will be better. The advantage is cheap and convenient. Pencils are also a good entry tool. The disadvantage is that some places will not be obvious, and it will fade easily after a long time.
