I have wanted to give this a go for a while now and thanks to Sato-san, My Japanese teacher, I was able to try my hand at it.
Black ink is Black
Apparently I was very good for my first go. It took phenomenal concentration. 2 and a bit hours of writing burnt me out. Which was a surprise. Its just calligraphy after all right? Still it was worth the extreme effort to get my strokes right…ish.
I seriously recommend this to anyone who wants to give it a go… and has the stamina. It is un believably fulfilling.

My old Chinese teacher was pro at this. She had a HUGE collection of brushes and used to teach calligraphy to adults.
P.S Your "sky" character looks really good.
this is a skill you'd better be bringing back to SA with you!
before the month is out I will go back...
sky...how do you pronounce that in Chinese?
its the "ten" in "tengoku"「天国」 here
It's written "tian" but it leans more to "tien" if you pronounce it.
