Answer: No. Practice has proved that this requires many detours. Why? The reason is very clear: because the structural rules of Chinese characters are exactly the same, but the size of the fonts, writing tools and techniques are different, it doesn’t matter which one you learn first.
When inheriting and copying ancient works, we should strive to be similar in form and spirit, but we should not lose sight of our personal style.
Some people are too mysterious about how to write well, and some people say that good handwriting is innate... In fact, it does not take ten or twenty years to write calligraphy with a brush or a pen. To put it bluntly, I have only practiced calligraphy for two years. When I showed the calligraphy couplet I wrote two years later to a calligraphy editor, the first comment I got was: "Your handwriting must have taken at least ten years of work." The editor asked me: "Who have you learned from?" I said: "No one has learned from". Three months later, the couplet I wrote was published in a magazine.
This incident reminds me of how many people and calligraphy materials have repeatedly claimed that if you want to write well, you can't practice it for more than ten years and more... He also said that good handwriting is a genius and so on. These assertions are unrealistic. In fact, as long as you choose the copybook well, use the right method, and are determined, you can achieve results in less than a year. Please try the "Character Comparison Practice Method" and you will know it in Baidu.
Some people advocate that you must first practice brush calligraphy to write well with pen calligraphy. This is actually not necessary because you cannot master two calligraphy techniques at the same time in a short period of time. If they don’t, it would be ugly.
