Although most people say that they can practice calligraphy, any pen can be used in the market now. You can choose one to write, even if it is not necessarily a pen. However, I still feel that I should choose a pen that suits my writing experience and style. It can be expensive or cheap, but it must suit me. Writing is so boring that it needs perseverance. Having a satisfactory pen will keep you going for a long time.
I won't go into details about choosing pens here. How to choose a good pen?
2. copybooks and copybooks
If you choose a copybook, the subject can go online to learn about the calligraphy of major pen calligraphers or look at the copybook pile in the bookstore, and choose a font that you like to learn (it is recommended to practice regular script first, regular script can best exercise this aspect), not greedy, just one. Practicing multiple fonts at the same time will interfere with each other and confuse each other, which is highly recommended. Personally, I like Tian Yingzhang's calligraphy very much and have been practicing it. )
The transparent white paper on the copybook is only used for tracing. If you want to practice your words well, you have to do a lot of copying exercises on the basis of tracing, that is, copying. If you want to post it, you have to buy an exercise book. Try not to use blank printing paper or writing paper. It is not good to control the structural size and spacing of words. If you write at sixes and sevens, your confidence will be frustrated. Recommend a rice chessboard for practicing calligraphy. Chessboard and auxiliary lines can help you to correct the shape and structure of words better when copying, and get twice the result with half the effort.
Everything is ready, except manpower and material resources.
1. Attitude
2. Be regular and persistent every day.
Rome wasn't built in a day, and practicing calligraphy, a typical kung fu activity from quantitative change to qualitative change, will inevitably require a lot of writing learning for a long time to improve. The specific planning is: daily, regular and quantitative.
Keep practicing every day. I was interrupted for a few days because of something in the middle, and it felt strange to rewrite it. If something happened at that time or the environment was not suitable for practicing calligraphy, you can postpone it appropriately and wait for your heart to calm down before practicing.
Timing and quantification depend on the individual's time schedule. Be careful not to be greedy. Since it is a copybook, it is the only standard that every word should be written exactly like the original.
3. Combination of description and reproduction
Description is familiarity with font structure and brushwork, and copying is imitation and reproduction of the original post on the basis of familiarity.
Generally speaking, the order is to describe first, then copy, and then carefully describe the words. At this time, don't blindly pursue mechanically. Pay attention to the order of strokes, the weight and pause of strokes, and the style characteristics of pens. Think about how the author of the original post wrote it at that time and integrated it into his writing style and habits.
You can start copying when you feel familiar with it. Again, writing every word exactly like the original post with your heart is the only standard of plagiarism.
Communication and consultation
It is recommended to practice calligraphy in Baidu, where there are many calligraphy experts and practitioners. A group of people will always go further than one person. There are also homework exercises that are practiced in the bar every Monday. You can post your own homework and ask experts for advice. The authorities were fascinated. In the eyes of others, problems are always easier to find. If you have any troubles or problems, you can also ask experts for advice.
5. Accumulation and reflection in daily life
When shopping, I will silently draw a picture in the air with my fingers, think about how to combine its advantages with my own words for my use, and then go back and write a picture.
Pay more attention to calligraphy, observe more, think more, practice more and communicate more in life. That's it.
