I would recommend focusing on using your arm and shoulder. At first, you will only produce wobbly lines--this is normal. Just focusing on gaining control of your arm, and then you can create lines with precision.
Also experiement with table height and direction of stroke. For me, I have the desk almost at the level of my navel. Before I was sitting too low, and fatigued my arm faster. Now my arm can just hang, and move across the page. For stroke, what works best for me is either streight up-down towards me, or upper right corner to lower left (I'm right-handed). At an angle is more common, but as I'm taking shodo lessons, I'm also learning how to make strokes both vertical and horizontal.
Hope this helps. :)
This is a remarkable little pen. Technically speaking, any brush pen of reasonable quality will do, but I'm especially fond of this one. It's incredibly difficult to draw with (especially at first) due to how much your stroke varies based on how much pressure you apply, and how you use it - but at the same time despite this frustration, it's also incredibly fun.
Moreover, due to the challenge of its use, it teaches you a lot about the nuances of one's stroke. These are the kinds of skills that one can carry over to standard felt tip pens, as well as to digital media. Really great for doodling and just enjoying yourself.
