What's the best way to carve words on a stone?

First, if you want tools and stones, you must first learn to smooth the stones, paint them with black ink, then write the words with a pencil, and then use a knife to draw down along the pencil mark, but don't use too much force and encourage all scratches. This is the way, you just need to practice more.

Shortcut:

There are not many shortcuts to seal cutting, because this is a traditional culture that has existed since ancient times, and there are not many shortcuts.

First of all, you should read more works by other authors. Second, you can go to some calligraphy and painting markets to see how others cut their knives. I used to go to Shenyang Bayi Park to see people's lettering and knife cutting. Basically, I can carve by myself, but I'm not fluent. Moreover, there are still many stresses on the carved stones, such as what is antique and what is seal cutting style, and some stones are broken to achieve the antique effect. You should always use a knife to find a stone that can be easily carved on some soft objects. For example, the hardness of each stone is different. Believe it or not, it is true.

Third, you can really visit some painting and calligraphy teachers. Art is not overwhelming, and people are not afraid that you will not learn it, because, as I said above, it is traditional culture. How much do you like it now?

Read more about the fonts in books and the methods of carving with knives. Some books are about it, so you must use your own knife more often. This is what the ancients said. Study, practice and study are the way to progress.

Finally, the shortcut to everything lies in your own efforts.

Wish you success! !
