Skills and methods of practicing calligraphy

The skills and methods of practicing calligraphy are as follows:

The first step is to choose copybook: choose a font (copybook) that you want to practice, usually called copybook. When posting, you need to calm down and write slowly, so that your memory will be deeper.

Step 2, choose a tool: it is best to use a pen to practice writing. Many people like to practice calligraphy with gel pens and water-based pens, but if they practice regular script, neither gel pen nor water-based pen can write.

The third step is tracing: "tracing" refers to tracing red, that is, beginners use blue pens to trace printed red copybooks along the handwriting. "Imitation" refers to copying the post, that is, covering the model words with transparent paper and writing them one by one along the shadow of the words on the paper, which is also called writing imitation.

Step 4: Put the copybook aside and look at the copybook written on the paper word by word. This method is helpful to master the brushwork and meaning of Chinese characters, but it is not easy to master the structure of Chinese characters.

The fifth step is to remember the copybook: remove the copybook on the basis of the copybook, recall the font on the copybook according to your own memory and write it on paper. This is a key step in practicing calligraphy. Only by carefully examining the words you read and write, can you write accurately.

The sixth step is creation: on the basis of mastering the writing method of the words on the copybook, realize the writing method of the words that are not on the copybook. According to your own needs, write a paragraph with center, content and self-contained. Persistence is the key to practicing calligraphy. If you follow these six steps for a long time, you will certainly gain something.
