1, structural arrangement: the inscription font is symmetrical, so it is necessary to pay attention to the proportion and position of the left and right structures. In running script, you can lengthen the glyph, highlight the longitudinal strokes and make the whole glyph more beautiful. The word "bean" on the left can be written slightly longer, and the word "apostrophe" on the right can be written slightly wider, but attention should be paid to keeping the font balanced.
2, stroke processing: the strokes of characters are relatively simple, but attention should be paid to the handling of the start, transport and receipt of each stroke. Especially the word "bean" on the left, we need to pay attention to the connection and echo between strokes. The apostrophe on the right can be slightly bent to increase the sense of movement.
3. Fluency and contrast: Running script requires that the connection between strokes be natural, smooth and not stagnant. When writing and printing, we need to pay attention to the transition between strokes to make the whole font smoother. You can use some Lian Bi and arcs to increase fluency, but be careful not to exaggerate. There needs to be a contrast between the strokes of the characters, so that the whole glyph can be more layered.
