I'm a lefty, so I have to do brush calligraphy digitally, which unfortunately kills all of its organic charm and happy accidents. I can still do it with a pen, though, although that's quite limiting in terms of style.

I think your keeping each character inside a square is not really justified by the style, rather it looks stiff and careful, with maybe >>4047101 this one being a break from the mold.

Now this >>4047105 looks really cool - although unreadable by me -, I suggest you fill a whole page with doodles trying to push a hanzi to its extremes, find interesting pictographic elements to it, composition ideas. Explore its meaning and its stroke order, see what you can abbreviate without losing the perceived character of the ideogram.

I'll post a few, they vary wildly cause I get bored easily.
