Practice the calligraphy brush first, then the hard brush, or both at the same time.
"If you are good at calligraphy with a brush, you must be good at calligraphy with a hard pen. If you are good at calligraphy with a hard pen, you may not be good at calligraphy with a brush." ??In fact, this sentence can be slightly modified: "If you are good at calligraphy with a brush, practice it too much. , Hard-pen calligraphy must be good. Hard-pen calligraphy is not necessarily good! Like Pang Zhonghua! ”
Practice calligraphy first, and then practice both, or both at the same time. It’s not appropriate to practice hard pen first and then brush! Get twice the result with half the effort! Because hard-pen calligraphy absorbs nutrients from calligraphy, especially regular script, which has profound and strict rules. It can be said that "regular script has no deception"! Hard pens are different from calligraphy pens. For example, some strokes that are difficult to write with a calligraphy pen are easier to write with a hard pen and are not so "fussy".
A hard pen is a hard pen, and there is no need to write "exactly" like calligraphy. But from many hard-pen copybooks, we can clearly see traces of calligraphy. Soft-pen calligraphy has a history of thousands of years, while hard-pen calligraphy has a history of only a few decades. Before formally practicing calligraphy, we must master the correct method of holding pen.
The writing methods are generally divided into three situations, one is the writing method of hard pen writing, the second is the writing method of sitting brush writing small characters, and the third is the standing brush writing method of large characters. The structure is eternal, but the brushwork is different. The more you practice, the more comfortable you will become.
