The first step of practicing calligraphy is to practice calligraphy with a pen. The purpose is to write lines with bones, flesh and vitality on paper through a brush stroke. It is not an easy task to practice good handwriting. Let's take a look at the first step of practicing calligraphy and related materials.
The first step in writing 1 1, select posts.
When you start learning calligraphy, you should first choose the copybook that suits you. This is very important. Choosing a post is the direction. If you go in the wrong direction, you may get twice the result with half the effort in the future.
Step 2 read the post
Reading posts and practicing calligraphy without reading them is like walking without looking at the road and remembering the road, you will be distracted and get lost. After choosing a copybook, you must always observe and study it carefully. This is looking at the copybook.
Step 3 copy
Copying has the basis of reading posts, so you need to write temporarily, and sometimes you can cover it with transparent paper to describe it. This is called plagiarism. Pro and copy have different functions. Generally speaking, the brushwork and structure are copied.
Step 4: Face backwards
The third step is about copybooks, which we can also call Linlin. After a long time of memory and memory, I will begin to remember. Reciting is to leave the copybook and write out the font structure and rules on the copybook as much as possible.
5. Italy is coming
The first step is to enter the copybook. You can post at this stage. At this time, you can add your own understanding and feelings to write temporarily, or you can create calligraphy works with the methods and skills of copybooks you have learned.
The first step in writing is 2 1. Learn regular script first.
As long as you choose the copybook and write two pages a day, it will be effective in two months. As for the method of practicing calligraphy, it is still to describe first, then copy, and then find the gap through comparison. For more difficult words, write them down separately, which is a special breakthrough. When the practice is effective, interest naturally arises: the more you write, the more you love to write, and the happier you look! This is the beginning of success.
Like a trilogy of calligraphy, practice the template first; Practice again; Third, practice grass. Calligraphers of all ages have consistently advocated that it is easy to write cursive script only after practicing regular script well and having a solid foundation. Only by practicing regular script and writing words can the pen not slip and the body not be fragmented.
Step 2 practice basic strokes
Starting from the basic strokes of regular script, there are eight kinds: a little, horizontal, vertical, left, press, lift, hook and fold.
A word is like a machine. When the basic strokes are practiced, it is equivalent to processing the "parts"; Practicing radicals well is like starting to "assemble"; Practicing the whole shape is equivalent to entering the "final assembly". In other words, learn "decomposition" first, and then learn "coherence". Therefore, regular script is the foundation, and basic strokes are the foundation of foundation.
When practicing basic strokes, you should practice them in different categories. For example, when practicing "three", we should practice "three", "three", "three" and "three" respectively, and then write "coherence" for combination.
General rules: practice basic strokes first when practicing regular script; Practice the stroke order again; Third, practice radicals; Four-practice glyph structure; Practice branch layout.
The "dot" drawing of Chinese characters should be aggravated, such as falling to the ground. For example, according to the writing methods of Zhong Shaojing and Ou Yangxun, writing in a short vertical position will be more powerful.
3. perseverance
Stick to it for three days and practice two pages a day. On the fourth day, I felt a little itchy. Think about it. Anyway, you can't write a word at once, but another voice reminds me. Stick to it and don't give up easily. Finally, after a contradictory struggle, we must persist.
Especially when something goes wrong, I take out my pen and paper and practice writing quietly. As a result, nothing bothered me. Practicing calligraphy has become a living habit. If I don't practice at school for a day, it seems that there is still one thing left unfinished. Through my own efforts, I have made some progress in Chinese characters, and I will continue to stick to it.
The first step in practicing calligraphy is the first step in practicing calligraphy.
First, the law of starting a pen: point, belt and turn
It is suitable for writing directly. The reason why this writing method is taught is to facilitate students to learn running script in the future (see the picture below).
Point: Any stroke begins with a point. The pen holder is vertical, and the angle is inclined (45) (the default is this angle, which can be adjusted according to the different styles of regular script), and the almond tip with the front tip and the back circle is written from light to heavy. It is required that the writing should be oblique, and the length of points should be written according to the thickness of strokes, and it should not be stretched blindly, so as not to bring trouble to the next step.
Tape: used to write the outline of the pen, and it is also convenient to turn the pen. Take the horizontal direction as an example. After the almond dots are written, the brush will take the pen along the stroke direction (horizontal right, vertical down, lower left, lower right and upper right) to form a flat quadrilateral block surface, which not only writes the outline of the pen, but also facilitates the change of the direction of the pen tip without leaving any trace, thus ensuring the central pen lifting in the next step. Note: Don't mention the brush when wearing it, cover the head and tail of the point (subject to the head and tail of the invisible point), and write three straight edges and two square corners.
Turn: it is to adjust the direction of the pen tip to meet the requirements of the center. After the flat quadrilateral block surface is formed, it is not necessary to lift the nib, and then rotate the pen holder counterclockwise with the thumb and forefinger (horizontally, lifting is counterclockwise, vertically, skimming is clockwise, without rotation) to drive the nib to adjust the nib counterclockwise.
Make the original pen point change from left to front to left, and then stroke the pen to the right is the horizontal stroke. Note: Don't lift the brush when turning the pen. Turn the pen holder directly with your thumb and forefinger to drive the pen tip to rotate on the paper. Like a seesaw, let the nib and the pen touching the paper move to the stroke center at the same time until the nib meets the requirements of the center.
The above only illustrates the law of starting point, belt and turn with the horizontal stroke as an example, and other strokes can be analogized. As for the similarities and differences of the starting point, belt and turn of the five most basic strokes, please see the following table and figure.
Second, the writing rule: the center diverges the hair
After the completion of the three steps, the center immediately unfolded the brush. In the process of writing, always keep the pen tip pointing in the opposite direction to the stroke direction, and at the same time, always keep the pen tip in the center of the stroke. With the movement of the wrist, the pen holder can fall in the direction pointed by the pen tip (it cannot fall in the stroke direction or on both sides of the stroke, otherwise the pen tip will be dragged or deviated). The greater the inclination, the greater the friction between the pen tip and the paper surface, and the pen will resist advancing.
Third, the law of pen collection
When the pen is finished, put it away. There are two ways to collect pens:
(A) Tibetan pen: bounce, pick, fold, turn
When the center stroke reaches the end, the first step of receiving the pen is to rebound and lift the pen tip (the greater the elasticity of the pen or the greater the stroke amplitude, the more it needs to rebound and lift), because the pen collection like horizontal, vertical or short strokes and backward strokes needs lighter strokes to successfully complete the pen collection. Therefore, the rebound is a key step to successfully collect the pen. Here I use a word "bounce" to summarize the rebound and mention this step.
To sum up, the second step of "picking" is to stroke up (horizontal direction) or left (vertical direction). The purpose of this step is to cooperate with the third step of "folding" to form edges and corners to emphasize the modeling effect of strokes. Note: when picking, you should use a pen to pick lightly, not a heavy stroke.
To sum up, the third step of "folding" is to fold the pen (the direction is parallel to the starting point) to form a right angle to the lower right, which is in contrast with the arc shape formed in the next step. Note: this step still needs to be lightly folded with a pen.
The fourth step "turn" summarizes the recycling. After the "folding" is completed, the wrist drives the writing brush, so that the pen tip can easily rotate and gently exit from below, and the whole stroke ends here successfully.
This method can be used to collect pens vertically, vertically and reversely.
(2) Feng Lu's pen collection: bouncing, tilting and kicking.
Feng Lu closed his pen and made a stroke. Like Zang Feng's pen collection, the first step is to bounce back (this step is also called "bounce back"), but this bounce back is repeated and continuous, and the pen is lighter every time until the tip is finished. With the repeated rebound and lifting, in order to make the pen tip approach gradually, the pen holder must be tilted in the direction pointed by the pen tip (this step is called "tilting"), and the last step is to quickly kick the pen tip out of the paper to form the pen tip (this step is called "kicking").
This method is used for all basic swimming strokes, such as hanging needle, skimming, pressing and lifting hook. It should be noted that if you want to collect a beautiful stroke, you must turn the pen in place when you start. Only by turning the pen in place can the strokes be written on the center line when the pen is closed, thus creating aesthetics.
