pastime, pick up a hobby, clear your head

[Speaking] Talk about the art of calligraphy
Calligrapy is the act of writing by hand, in a style that shows off your unique charm. You can also draw illustrations or shadows to add detail. It’s a good way to distract yourself. More and more people are picking up calligraphy as a hobby these days. Many people also do it for a living.

I often practice calligraphy with my daddy these days. I first got into it when I saw my grandmather's calligraphy at her place. I tried it for the first time with my grandmother that very day, and I have been hooked ever since.

At stationary stores, you can find calligraphy books and purpose-made brush pens. In calligraphy, controlling the way you apply pressure is most important. You can ease up to draw thin lines and press down hard for thicker ones.
