First, determine your goal of practicing calligraphy.
If you just want to be able to write well in front of others, you can still get good evaluations, or you can be able to do it in your daily work and study. It is easy to use, not only fast, but also beautiful in writing. If the method is appropriate, you can practice calligraphy in a short time.
The second is to narrow the scope of calligraphy practice
Separate brushes and hard pens (such as fountain pens, rollerball pens, ballpoint pens, etc.), and at the same time separate hard-pen calligraphy and practical hard-pen calligraphy. There are big differences between hard-pen calligraphy and practical hard-pen calligraphy, such as writing tools, writing formats and expressions, training methods, training requirements, etc. Relatively speaking, hard-pen calligraphy requires a longer investment of time, energy, intelligence, and a certain amount of talent, while learning practical hard-pen calligraphy is relatively simple and easy.
