As we all know, pencils, gel pens, pens, and art pens are commonly used.
Pencil: The good thing about pencil is that you can clearly see a word through the shade of its color, as well as the strength and speed of writing in different places. This is difficult to do with other pens, so many beginners start practicing with pencils. Personally, I suggest you use a pencil to find that feeling.
It can be seen that the pen used in the circled part without words is heavier, partly because there is a pause, while the pen used in the silk connection is obviously very light. In fact, this can tell where a word needs to pause and turn - places where the lead is thicker. In fact, the brush technique is the same as that of a brush, because hard brushes are sometimes not easy to see (this also shows the need to read ancient calligraphy).
gel pen
Needless to say, this thing is the most difficult for beginners to control because it is so slippery and difficult to strike. So it is not recommended to practice with this gel pen from the beginning. My personal suggestion is to start with a pen or pencil. Of course, it doesn’t mean that a gel pen can’t produce the feeling of writing with a brush. As long as you practice well enough, the pen will not be a limiting factor. Therefore, the center pen has higher requirements on technique and requires stronger skills.
However, gel pens can definitely make a difference. You don’t need to do it deliberately. It comes naturally after practicing for a long time.
pen
Needless to say, this is the one that everyone uses the most. It is not recommended to be too thick, heavy or too thin. You should find a more moderate pen. I can’t recommend the brand or anything, but using a pen to practice calligraphy is a common way. And compared to gel pens, it's easier to use.
The last one I wrote just recently:
Art pen
This needs to be mentioned, because the tip of his pen is curved, which can better produce the effect of a brush, but it does not mean that it can be used well. On the contrary, it is difficult for beginners to use this pen well. A friend of mine bought this pen at my instigation and then gave up hh. Moreover, the art pen is not suitable for beginners to practice calligraphy, but is more suitable for friends who already have a certain foundation to create. Regarding the usage of art pens, we will look for opportunities to update. It needs to be able to control the degree of pressing the pen head at will, so that it can write as thick and thick as you want. for example:
