Can somebody translate this calligraphy? Thankyou in advance! :)
I was bored out of my mind so i wrote the character for biang biang noodles in seal script
turned out relatively great considering i did this with a mouse
Hello! Im trying to make some calligraphy for a digital illustration. I try to stay true to the stroke order and everything but digital brushes are less responsive than real ones, so its been difficult... :,)
I you could give me any feedback I'd be very grateful
So apparently this is my name in Chinese calligraphy but google says otherwise… seems like this is only part of my name (Francisco)
Since so many of the old masters of Kung Fu styles and the Samurai considered calligraphy as a skill to develop, I'd assume calligraphy must bring some helpful development to martial arts especially with the Chinese Jian and other swords?
I bought this a few days ago because I liked how it looked. I've tried to do a little research into it, but I've not really found anything. Can anyone tell me anything more about the quality or origin of this work? Thank you!
Presumably something from Genshin but not sure, I think the first two are 契約 but I'm not sure what the rest are. Some help would be very much appreciated!
Hello, I am starting a class for calligraphy. The paper I have is quite long and we were asked to buy quite a lot of it. Instead of carrying all of the paper, I would like to safely transport about 20 pages with me to class each time. What is the best way to take it with me, should I roll it into a plastic tube?
It is currently rolled up just like this: https://www.amazon.com/Watercolor-Practice-Japanese-Calligraphy-Thickening/dp/B07Q8TMD4N
Hi people of r/shufa! I’ve recently gotten a calligraphy brush and I am beginning to learn the techniques and styles of asian calligraphy (mostly Chinese and Japanese). Wanted to share my first attempt and I hope to see you again soon!
Ps. I noticed the smear too late and don’t have a seal yet, but I will try better next time and will probably try to make a seal soon!

Hey everybody! Seems like this is a pretty small sub but I thought I'd try anyways. I've been trying to practice brush control, and was wondering if any of you have tips? I struggle to hold a brush properly for long, I find my hand getting quite uncomfortable. My intuition is that I need to practice to get used to the feeling. I'm very new to chinese calligraphy, but I'm totally absorbed by it! I'd love to hear any thoughts!
Hello, I am a Chinese beginner who is trying to use a brush pen for normal everyday writing. I struggle with control over the brushpen because I'm simply not used to the motions yet. My characters turn out better when writing larger but how can I improve writing them small with the brushpen? Thank you so much!
I've been practicing a lot on newspapers, and I find it consistently way easier to work with. Harder to tear, absorbs just the right amount of liquid, and the brush glides on it way more easily. Am I just buying low-quality calligraphy paper, or is this something that everyone experiences?
Hi, I apologize for not knowing much/if at all about this art form. I just got this piece at a vintage store and was wondering if someone could help me decipher what it means/might mean? I would appreciate any/all help. I can post a better picture as well! Thank you <3
I would like to get a good all-purpose brush to get started (and maybe eventually keep going).
I know that the best brushes are made from animal hair but since I'm vegan, that's a no-go for me. So I wanted to know what to look for in a good synthetic or plant-based brush and where to find one.
If no synthetic/plant brush is ever gonna be as good as a good animal-derived brush, so be it. I will not buy an animal hair brush no matter the effect on my calligraphy.
Given this constraint, what are my best options?
kudos to anybody who can decode the line 😜
