My English handwriting is very poor, how should I write to be beautiful?
You need to find a feeling of drawing, and do not pursue writing fast. You need to practice and follow the instructions. Your favorite font can be found online. There are also many fonts in Word. After taking a photo, imitate the 26 letters one by one until you are satisfied, then practice the next one. How can I write English words beautifully?
Let’s talk about English calligraphy
According to the types of English calligraphy I am currently exposed to, they are mainly divided into flat-pointed fonts and dot-pointed fonts. font. As the name suggests, the fonts are written with a pen with a flat tip and the fonts are written with a dotted pen tip.
Let’s talk about the round font first
The first type is English Roundhand, which is abbreviated as ER
The second type is Engrosser’s Script, which is abbreviated as ES. Type, in fact, its essence is "drawing"
The third type is Spencer
The fourth type is what I often call OP
The fifth type is cursive style Cursive, but the standard name is still BP
Influenced by Yuanti English Bar, many hobbyists choose ES as the direction of their efforts, and so do I.
The owner of the Yuanti English Bar, oCRyInGRaIno, and another friend formed an organization to translate articles on English calligraphy. They once translated a work by Willis.A.Baird (WAB), which is generally It is widely used as a textbook, as well as information on English calligraphy, and AOC is also widely praised. However, if you really want to write, it is not enough. Mastering Copperplate Calligraphy, which is also often sold on Taobao, will help with typesetting. But I basically don’t look at glyphs.
Grid problem: Pointed fonts have very strict requirements on slope, and it is difficult to grasp without grid.
Regarding the pen nib issue, please refer to the experience of Yuanyi English Bar’s pen nibs. I will post it in another post. These pen nibs can be purchased on Taobao, but remember to shop around, because one of them is not very kind.
If the ink problem is better, you can use English-specific ink Higgins, or you can prepare gouache, ink, pigment, or ordinary pen water. Some hero inks will corrode and bleed, so this is the best and most effective way. The cheap way is to prepare gouache yourself. You can also take a look at several J.Herbin dip pen ink paper products
