Automated excerpt

You can see below my attempts to copy characters in seal script (top) and cursive script (bottom). I’m keen to try the clerical script at some point, which involves something of the controlled separation of seal script but some juicy flourishes too. Another experimental aspect of the session involved using the implements and materials of Chinese calligraphy for a now-probably-extinct minority script, the Lisu syllabary (or Lisu bamboo script: see further here and here).
