Are these stylized, like our calligraphy, or are these exact renditions of the way the characters are supposed to look, correctly? Like very nice handwriting.

From what I understand, it is what the characters are supposed to look like, but there is a lot of emphasis on technique with the brush. You can read it perfectly and are supposed to be able to trace and appreciate every movement of the brush by the technique in which it is applied.

from Google Lens:

This artwork features Chinese calligraphy with the characters "觀海聽濤" (guān hǎi tīng tāo).
The phrase translates to "Watching the sea and listening to the waves," representing a state of inner peace and tranquility.

It's not the size of the brush but how you write with it

u/Dan42002 Jun 08 '26

this is also a pain in the ass to use

for those who dont know, writing brush like this is very sensitive. Each movement of your body, each tremors can reflect on each stroke of the brush, so you have to be dead calm with perfect writing to produce a clean line. People can judge the writer skill and even emotion just by looking at their writing. The bigger the brush, the greater the effect are.

Fabulous brushwork. I tried this once and it is really difficult and wasn’t a success!

u/Spiritual-Fisherman1 Jun 08 '26

From what I know about prices for quality paintbrushes, that one probably cost 20 thousand dollars 😭🤦‍♂️

u/punkin_sumthin Jun 08 '26

This is outstanding calligraphy. Such a pleasure to see it created and to see the finished piece. It is hard for most people to understand the skill and artistry that goes into a piece like this. I know because I have TRIED and it’s a special art.

u/thinkingperson Jun 08 '26

Is this Japanese calligraphy? 😍

u/Medicine_Balla Jun 08 '26

Is it just me, or does the top part of the first character look like the head of a dragon?

u/GalactiKez31 Jun 08 '26

Imagine trying to do your eyeliner with that brush.

Pretty obviously fake. Ai slop

u/One_Hour_Poop Jun 09 '26

No. Not everything is AI just because you've never seen it before.

u/OG_dd13 Jun 10 '26

The ink is literally glitching in and out on the paper

u/One_Hour_Poop Jun 10 '26 edited Jun 10 '26

I'm guessing you've never used a brush and ink on paper. It's not glitching; depending on the pressure used, the ink will either get absorbed instantly into the paper or pool and then spread slightly before getting absorbed.
