Positions and writing practices for practicing calligraphy:?
Sitting: When practicing calligraphy, your sitting posture must be upright, your shoulders should be flat, and your back should be straight. Keep your body and head straight, don't tilt your body and head, and don't lower your head. Your eyes should be about one foot away from the table, and your front chest should be about three inches away from the edge of the table. ?
Hold the pen: The pen should be held upright, and the pen tip should be straight forward. Do not tilt it inwards. As long as the palm is flat, the pen tip will naturally move forward. The tip of the index finger is about an inch away from the pen tip. If you hold the pen incorrectly or the pen tip If it is slanted inward, it will be difficult to write smoothly and horizontally. At the same time, the lines written will have no spine and no rhythm, and the glyphs will not be stretchable and generous. Holding the pen should be relaxed so that you can move the pen freely; if you hold the pen too tightly, your writing will not be broad and generous.
