Hello, host! I am a hard-pen calligraphy enthusiast. I am very happy that you are determined to practice calligraphy well. Here are some of my insights and suggestions. I hope it will be helpful to you:
When should you practice calligraphy (hard-pen calligraphy that most people need) It’s not too late. The reason why some adults feel that it is difficult to improve their handwriting is because of their long-term writing habits. So if you want to change it now, you have to work harder. Follow the method I mentioned to observe the structure of the handwriting and practice more. Before you start writing, think about how to arrange the structure of the characters. Perseverance will make great improvements. Calligraphy must be calm. Exposure to the cold for ten days in one day will not gain anything, but is a waste of time. It is recommended to use Sima Yan’s regular script, which can be purchased in major bookstores. I think the poster has no calligraphy foundation and regular script is not very good, because my running script is more difficult in calligraphy (because many beginners like it). In fact, regular script is the basis of all calligraphy. It is recommended to practice regular script first. The writing will also be very beautiful. As for the copybook, the purpose of tracing the copybook is to understand the structure and writing method of the calligraphy. Don't just be a miaoheng without thinking and practicing independently. I think Sima Yan's regular script copybook is suitable for you to practice. (His regular script is more authentic.) Take your time, don't be impatient, it's important to pay attention to the structure of the characters! You should pay more attention to the beautiful structure of other people's calligraphy, and the most important thing is to practice more and improve yourself so that you can write it yourself. Once you get used to it, you will have beautiful handwriting. (Take your time at the beginning of the period and be attentive! Only when you are calm can you write well. You must observe before writing and pay attention to the structure of the words.) Hard writing is not difficult, but you have to be patient. The most fearful thing is to be exposed to the cold for ten days in one day. This is just a waste of time and no results, so the key is persistence. As long as you use the right method, you will see improvements even if you persist for a few weeks!
I hope this helps you. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me! I also hope that the original poster can practice calligraphy well as soon as possible! O(∩_∩)O~
