The basic step of practicing calligraphy, the method of using a pen in calligraphy, is to write lines with bones, flesh and vitality on paper through a brush stroke. It is not easy to practice good handwriting. As the saying goes, "words can't be used for a hundred days." Let's share the basic steps of practicing calligraphy.
Basic steps of practicing calligraphy 1 First, start writing against the trend.
Contrarian writing requires "first right and then left", first down and then left, first right and then up. Every pen must have a "contrarian". This is an action of putting pen to paper in the opposite direction of the stroke direction. Is to make the brush strokes strong, subtle and full.
On the basis of mastering the reverse input, we should pay attention to: horizontal drawing and vertical drawing. Putting pen to paper is actually a brush stroke. This can fully expand and create conditions for strokes.
The act of writing can be divided into three steps. Take horizontal painting as an example: step one, go against the trend to the left; The second step is to quickly put pen to paper and spread it out; The third step is to slowly lift the front hair to the upper right.
There are two kinds of pens: hidden front and exposed front. When writing, it is called "hidden front", which is also called "anti-front". The hidden front can make the strokes round and thick. The so-called "hidden front covers its qi."
The exposed front is written with an oblique pen or a sharp pen. When the front end of the pen enters the paper, its front end is exposed. The oblique pen is called "flank". Exposing the front can make the strokes handsome and vivid. The so-called "exposure to the front to direct its gas."
If you want to change your pen, you should use it in combination with hiding and revealing. The Tibetan front seeks to move and write to gain momentum. "Reverse entry" means reverse paddling. When starting a pen, the tip of the pen should face the stroke direction, and it should be down first and right first.
The hidden front end of the pen is a reverse stroke. Writing against the trend makes the static calligraphy art produce a dynamic beauty, just like archery. When you draw your bow, you will fly with a hundred paces.
There are two kinds of hidden front: field combat is to hide the front on paper, and interception is to complete the action in the air.
Second, the center writes.
First of all, you should master the method of central writing. This is the basic brushwork of China's calligraphy tradition. Center stroke refers to a method that the pen tip moves along the stroke center line after the pen is spread out.
He has solid basic skills and is good at being a center. He wrote on a large piece of thin paper with wet ink. After drying, he looked to the other side and saw a black line in the middle of the stroke, which was the path for the center to run.
Let's look at the brush. The most important brush tip is called the main brush, and the surrounding brushes are called the auxiliary brushes. When we write, let the pen often walk in the center of the stroke, which is called "central stroke". When writing in this way, the ink contained in the nib is injected into the paper from the main front end of the pen and penetrates into the edge of the stroke. The stippling is thick in the middle and light on both sides, which is very stereoscopic.
If, when lifting a pen, the main brush is on one side of the stroke and the auxiliary brush is running on the other side, it is called "oblique pen". In this way, the pen force cannot be concentrated, and the ink contained in the pen head will penetrate into the side of the point surface too much. If the pen is always biased, stippling will be thin and weak.
When the pen is running, the running direction of the pen must be opposite to that of the whole pen. The difference between center and oblique is that the nib (front) of the center pen points in the opposite direction of the pen and runs in the center of the stroke; The tip (front end) of the offset pen points to the side perpendicular to the central axis of the running direction of the pen.
In this case, we just need to pause for a moment, lift the pen tip, let the main pen tip touch the paper, then lift the pen, and then write is the center.
We keep writing, lifting and pressing, so that we can constantly adjust the nib and ensure that the pen used in the center swings from side to side like a tightrope walker, and the center of gravity often does not leave the center.
After we started writing, the pen ran on the paper. If it is slippery, the lines written must be thin and weak. In order to write vivid lines, you must move forward "unsmoothly", but something seems to be blocking, two forces are fighting, and the brush rustles on the paper. This is the "unsmooth pen".
But astringency is easy to "stagnate". If you pursue astringency unilaterally, the pen and ink will stagnate and lose their spirits. Therefore, we must have the momentum of seeking speed, which is called "disease", and disease is fast, also called "agility". The combination of illness and astringency makes the lines written naturally moist and fascinating.
Third, the method of collecting pens
Every painting of a character is finally completed by collecting pens. If you want a pen to have both shape and spirit, you must write it well and put it away.
Pay attention to two points when writing a good pen collection: first, transport the pen to the end, be steady, accurate, clear and profitable, and don't rush to collect the pen or hesitate; Second, when I start writing, I will go back to the front to reflect on the tape, and strive to be endless, interesting, short and meaningful, and memorable.
When writing, the pen force should always be transmitted to the home. When the pen tip leaves the paper, it must still pass through the back of the paper. The pen is raised, but the front is inserted into the paper, so the pen can make the lines full of air. If the force does not penetrate to the end of the stroke, the pen will be hastily closed, that is, the pen is dry and short of breath; If you hesitate when it's time to close the pen, that is, the pen is sluggish and stagnant, it is a failure. This is not what we want to advocate.
The basic steps of practicing calligraphy 2. First, master the correct writing.
The position of the pen is closely related to the size of writing. The higher the pen is, the bigger the pen needs to swing, and generally speaking, the bigger the words are. Therefore, to write the same size of words, the running script is higher than the regular script, and the cursive script is higher than the running script.
There are many ways to write, including tube twisting method, tube twisting method and three-finger method. Need to master: point to reality, fingers should be solid, not weak; The palm is empty, and the pen container is unreliable in the palm; Wrist work, the wrist should be flexible, not stiff or attached to the table and so on.
Second, start with regular script and practice calligraphy.
Because regular script is the most common font in daily life, it is suggested to start with regular script and practice calligraphy. During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, regular script developed independently in official script. Regular script is between official script and running script, which is convenient for us to master running script similar to regular script but with more complicated techniques. Therefore, a master of regular script can basically master the writing skills of brush, which is also very helpful for learning other characters (official script, running script, etc.). ).
Third, copy as much as possible in practice.
Because in the process of copying, most people will not take the initiative to analyze and understand the ins and outs of each basic brush of each font.
But if you master the method of copying copybooks, you will get twice the result with half the effort. To master the method of copying copybooks, you need to choose appropriate copybooks, brush copybooks or pen copybooks.
How to master copying copybooks: choose copybooks, copy before copying, and combine copying. When learning Chinese characters, we should combine copying before copying, read and paste carefully, and remember, check and use besides copying. And learn from others and practice different copybooks.
Fourth, participate in calligraphy exhibitions, competitions and other forms.
On the basis of practicing soft pen, improve the writing ability of hard pen (pen) and gradually improve the appreciation level of calligraphy creation. When you practice to a certain extent, you can take part in some calligraphy competitions to test your level and see your advantages and disadvantages from other people at the same level. I believe that as long as you work hard, you will definitely improve your writing.
The basic steps of practicing calligraphy are: first, strengthen the will.
People realize the importance of writing, and after they have the desire to practice calligraphy, they should make plans, choose practice methods and practice step by step according to the requirements of practicing calligraphy. This kind of psychological activity, which consciously determines the purpose, dominates and regulates one's actions, and overcomes difficulties to achieve the expected purpose, is the process of tempering the will. It is not easy to practice good handwriting. As the saying goes, "write a word for a hundred days."
Practicing calligraphy should go through a process of repeated training, gradual improvement and formation of writing skills. In this process, you will feel bored, the practice time is difficult to guarantee, and the effect is not obvious. At this time, if there is no good will to practice calligraphy, there will be a phenomenon of abandoning the pen and not practicing.
Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the' exercise' of the quality of the will to practice Chinese characters, so as to take time out of your busy schedule and persevere. It is necessary to make long plans and short arrangements, seek quality instead of quantity, and write and practice every day. If you can write two or three words every day, you can practice more than two most commonly used words in two years.
In fact, there is no need to pay too much attention to the time of practicing calligraphy, as long as there is paper and pen in front of you. If you are a student, you can adjust your brain by writing during recess. You can also write when you just sit down and calm down. You can also write when you can't remember what to do at the moment to ease your mood. In short, as long as you have a heart to practice calligraphy and a pen and paper on your desk, you can use all kinds of free time to practice calligraphy.
Second, the method of practicing calligraphy
1, post selection, on the basis of post selection, we have to go through five steps: reading, drawing, posting, memorizing and creating. It is suggested to practice regular script of Si Mayan or Pang Zhonghua. The font is relatively large and has its own room to play. After choosing a copybook, you should concentrate on practicing and not change the copybook at will.
2. Writing is not a mechanical repetition, but a technical exercise. Don't form the bad habit of "copying" when practicing calligraphy. It is taboo to practice calligraphy with a pen without analysis and correction. The more you copy, the more mistakes you make. The most important thing in practicing calligraphy is to remember the shelf structure of Chinese characters by heart, compare it with the copybook after writing, find out the tiny gap and constantly correct it. Don't spend too much time copying, just put paper on the original calligraphy for imitation practice, which is really bad.
You should practice for at least half an hour every day. Don't pursue writing speed. Just practice twenty or thirty words a day, and each word must be written at least 30 times to be effective.
4. Try to practice the most basic words, and all your efforts are used to lay the foundation. Choose for yourself first. Write only two or three times a day, never write more! Remember, the slower the better, the slower the progress. You can draw it first, but the most important thing is to follow it and improve it until it looks like it.
Third, matters needing attention in practicing calligraphy
1. Selection of writing tools. "If a worker wants to do a good job, he must first get his tools." The best ink colors are blue and black.
2. When practicing calligraphy, we should pay attention to the posture and method of writing.
3, practicing calligraphy should be calm, good beginning and good end, not impetuous, perfunctory. When you write, you should be meticulous, and every stroke should be true. When someone is practicing calligraphy, they like to scribble before they finish. This kind of scribbling is a taboo for practicing calligraphy.
4. Don't change fonts easily. To practice calligraphy, you should have perseverance and perseverance, and you should practice solid basic skills. Note: practice kung fu for one day, not ten days a day. On the basis of mastering the font structure, you can choose your favorite font and keep practicing. Don't change the font easily.
We should combine study with application and practice with writing. Some students write well when practicing calligraphy, but they are blind when writing homework. They can never practice writing well. You usually use the words you have practiced, so write as well as you practiced. Only by practicing and using one can both middle schools and schools be used, and the combination of learning and using can be practiced well.
