1. First of all, as I said before, practicing calligraphy requires a foundation. Running script is based on regular script, and there are many copybooks of regular script on the market. I personally recommend Mr. Tian Yingzhang's copybook.
2. The choice of pen, for beginners, a simple hero 6 16 is enough. If you have a certain driving ability in the future, you can use German pens and Japanese pens. Of course, the price will be slightly more expensive.
3. You can find many calligraphy practice videos online, which will be explained by teachers. This is very helpful. I suggest you read more books.
4. Hard-pen calligraphy needs to constantly copy the writing style of the Great God while persisting in practice. The following post bars are recommended. There are many great gods here, which you can visit from time to time: handwriting shops and hard pens.
5. The contact of calligraphy needs persistent efforts, and the most important thing is persistence. In the usual contact, you can choose some soft paper contact, such as newspapers, and at the same time you can choose to practice the strength and edge of the pen with a pencil.
Finally, when we are practicing calligraphy, we must form our own characteristics, learn from others and eventually become our own things.
I think practicing calligraphy is also a very good way to cultivate self-cultivation, which can give people valuable wealth regardless of the process and result. If you have started, please stick to it.
