Right sharp cross: After cutting the pen obliquely, slowly taper to the sharp point to the right, not too fast, and force should be directed to the sharp point, such as straight cross first and middle cross. Left-pointed horizontal: after touching the paper, it will gradually become heavier and heavier to the right. If you can't write easily, sweep to the right, so that when you write cursive, the pen tip will be exposed, and finally the other way around, such as "left" and "line". Long horizontal: a pen with a sharp right horizontal stroke, a slightly thinner middle waist and a slightly thicker back, and the end does not fall back.
Vertical hanging needle: when starting the pen, it will be slightly thicker downward, and then gradually thinner to the nib when it is two-thirds, and the nib should not float. Vertical hanging: cut the pen obliquely downward, slightly raise to the left in the middle, and reverse the end after lifting it to the right. Such as "photo" left vertical, "museum" right "official" left vertical.
Short skimming: After oblique cutting, slowly lift it down to the left and send the force to the tip. Long skimming: after beveling, it is slowly sent to the nib to the left. Because of the long stroke, control is required. Willow leaf curl: when pointed to the left and down, the middle is slightly thicker and the pen holder is thinner. Vertical skimming: vertical oblique cutting. When there is a cross, go straight before the cross, and then left and down after the cross, such as "history".
Skills of learning calligraphy
Copying is the only way to learn calligraphy, and it is also a quick method. To reach the peak of calligraphy, copying is the only way that cannot be bypassed. Therefore, learning calligraphy must be done well. To learn music, we should improve our listening comprehension, and to learn calligraphy, we should broaden our horizons. Your vision is not high, and your calligraphy is not much higher. Music, dance and calligraphy are all very practical arts. If we don't strengthen training and persist in practice and thinking, there will be no possibility of progress.
Calligraphy needs touch, and touch comes from long-term continuous practice, so why calligraphers have the habit of "day shift" is because they want to keep touch, just like dancing wants to keep their bodies flexible. If you don't keep practicing, you can't strengthen your muscle memory and feel worse.
