First, know yourself.
For many calligraphy lovers, learning which official script is suitable for them, but there is also a primary condition here, that is, where their cognitive level is. What is the cognitive level of calligraphy? How much do you know about official script calligraphy? For example, which official script font do you think looks best and you are most interested?
Second, write correctly.
There are essential differences between brush calligraphy and hard pen calligraphy, and the biggest difference lies in writing. We can't use the customary hard pen method to write brush strokes, because brush strokes have requirements for brushwork, and incorrect brushwork will directly affect brushwork.
Write with three fingers or five fingers, no matter which method is used, but it is more important to keep the pen tube perpendicular to the paper. Why should we emphasize this issue? In fact, this is the need of brushwork. When the brush moves forward, the belly of the pen is in front and the nib is behind. In this case, you can write thick lines, otherwise the strokes will float.
Third, use brushwork.
Compared with cursive and regular script, the brushwork of official script is relatively simple. There are mainly translation strokes, torsion strokes and lifting strokes. So for these three methods, as long as you learn these skills, you will be handy in writing.
Translation brushwork is the brushwork in seal script. The center of the brush is mainly to use the pen to push the pen forward smoothly. In the process of pushing official script, there is a small amount of pen lifting. At this time, it is necessary to do some lifting strokes in translation. When it comes to twisting strokes, in the final analysis, it is to adjust the strokes used by the nib.
Fourth, writing is accurate.
This step is not only the need for stippling, but also the need for fonts.
Fifth, write boldly.
One of the main reasons why some beginners dare to write at first is that they are not familiar with brushwork and their skills are not in place. In fact, we can boldly imagine and do the opposite. Write boldly at first, and then slow down after a while, or you can be bolder and smaller.
The purpose of doing this is to train learners' courage and lay some foundation for future calligraphy creation.
