Methods and skills of practicing calligraphy with pen

Methods and skills of practicing calligraphy with a pen;

1, add a connector, and you can use a binding wire. There are only stippling echoes between regular script strokes, and there are no filaments connected. The running script adds a hook at the end of the stroke, and the close connection with the next stroke is the joint. If the next stroke is far away, connect it with a filament, which is a tie wire.

2. Combine strokes and complete them in one stroke. Needless to say, regular script should be carefully carved one by one, and attention should be paid to the starting and closing of strokes, while running script often combines several strokes into one to increase writing speed. After the combination of strokes, writing is smoother and faster, which is more conducive to the practical application function of running script.

3, can use flip pen, good at checkout. Every stroke of regular script is relatively complete, with a beginning and an end. Running script has a flip, which flips at the end of one stroke to create momentum for the next stroke. The stroke is a clockwise stroke at the end of the stroke. When you tick, pause for a moment before you tick. The hook here is different from that in regular script. It is not a part of the original stroke, but a connection formed for the convenience of writing fluency.

4. Change the stroke order to improve the speed. There are strict rules on the order of regular script. In order to improve the writing speed, cursive script is often used in running script. The change of stroke order makes the strokes more fluent and concise. Please note that changing the stroke order must be regular and not arbitrary.

5, flexible writing, learn from others. The strokes of running script are very rich, which makes the writing of a word varied, some are regular script and some are cursive script; Some are neat and some are smart. Beginners should first master one of the writing methods, and then conduct in-depth research according to their own preferences and learn from others.

6, center of gravity, main pen, echo, yield, uniformity, symmetry, change. The above-mentioned eight principles about using a pen are also the core principles of running script practice, so we must use them consciously. The stability of the center of gravity is still the first.
