👉 Calligraphy is a form of handwriting that involves using a stylus to create intricate and detailed lines, often with decorative elements such as letters or designs. It originated in China and has since spread throughout the world, particularly among Westerners who have adopted the art from its ancient roots. In traditional calligraphy, the artist uses a brush or pen to trace out the outline of a character on paper or another surface, then carefully inked or dyed it with fine pigment to achieve the desired look.
