1. Mastering Line Contrast (Thick vs Thin)
The secret to expressive calligraphy lies in contrast. When pulling vertical stems (like the pillar in "ㅏ" or "ㅣ"), apply firm downward pressure for a bold, confident spine.
When lifting horizontally or tapering off tails, release hand pressure gently so the stroke resolves into a whisper-thin finish. This dynamic push-and-pull gives the character visual melody.

Key Takeaway
Good posture and steady breathing are just as crucial as the pen in your hand.
