In this instructable you will learn how to write a bit of Chinese.
HISTORY OF CHINESE CHARACTERS
The history of chinese characters is that it started as PICTOGRAPHS. It still is based on pictographs, but not all of them. They evolved to here. For example, the "tree" and "forest" characters are a like and look like simple trees. I really used a sharpie to write all of this, but if I were a true chinese boy (which I am) I would have done it in ink and a brush or a caligraphic pen. There are 3,000-4,000 chinese characters in modern day. How do they search the internet I don't know (pretty big keybaord then). These aren't serious

I have to say your calligraphy is very beautiful. But you should make further efforts.
There are many versions of Chinese calligraphy. Such as regular script, running script, cursive. They all have their own characteristics,so Rome was not built in a day.
I hope you can stick to your own preferences .
If you need any help ,you can send message to me .I am glad to help you .
Isn't tree one tree, grove two trees and forest three trees?
It looks like you're presenting the mainland "simplified" characters, rather than the older ("Cantonese" in San Francisco, or Taiwanese) characters. It might be helpful to note that difference.
