What do you need to learn before calligraphy is introduced? What font should I practice?

Many people want to know what to learn first in calligraphy, and which font is good for beginners to practice calligraphy? Let me introduce you!

What should I learn for the introduction of calligraphy? 1. Select a post

Step 1: Select a position. When you start to learn calligraphy, you must first choose the copybook that suits you. This is very important. Choosing a post is the direction. If you go in the wrong direction, you may get twice the result with half the effort in the future. On how to choose posts, Teacher Chen Jiaqiang has given a detailed explanation in an article on Baba WeChat official account for your reference.

Step 2: Read the post. Practicing calligraphy without reading posts is like walking without looking at the road and remembering the road, which will distract you and get lost. After choosing a copybook, you must always observe and study it carefully. This is looking at the copybook.

Step 3: Copy. With the basis of reading posts, you should start writing temporarily, and sometimes you can cover it with transparent paper to describe it. This is called plagiarism. Pro and copy have different functions. Generally speaking, the brushwork and structure are copied.

Step 4: Face the back. The third step is about copybooks, which we can also call Linlin. After a long time of memory and memory, I will begin to remember. Reciting is to leave the copybook and write out the font structure and rules on the copybook as much as possible.

Step five: I'm coming. The first step is to enter the copybook. You can post at this stage. At this time, you can add your own understanding and feelings to write temporarily, or you can create calligraphy works with the methods and skills of copybooks you have learned.

Which font is better for beginners to practice calligraphy? First of all, let me show you the development of calligraphy. The development of calligraphy began with seal script, official script, cursive script, running script and regular script, so some people would say that it began with seal script, because that's how calligraphy evolved. Of course, this is not unreasonable, but many seal scripts are incomprehensible and impractical. The editor doesn't recommend that you start with seal script.

For beginners, I personally suggest that it is better to start with regular script. Regular script can be said to be the basis of all kinds of calligraphy. If you practice regular script well, you can better lay the foundation for learning calligraphy. In addition, regular script can make learners gradually master the writing method and the structure of the whole font.

Regular script is rigorous to a certain extent, which can effectively carry out strict training in brushwork, word formation and composition, with rules to follow, step by step, and it is easier to improve and progress. And now it is advocated to restore and carry forward traditional culture, and calligraphy is a better choice for regular script.

Besides, we can also learn official script, because official script is easy to use and easy to produce results. We will be happier when we practice those fonts that are easy to produce effects. Of course, no matter which font we learn, it's best to choose a font we like and start practicing.

Some people like cursive writing, and personally, it is not recommended to practice directly from cursive writing. If you don't have the ability to write cursive script in regular script, it's like passive water. The cursive script written is impetuous, the cursive script writing speed is relatively fast, and it is not easy to calm down, so the words written are impetuous.

Learning regular script can make people calm down and focus on the structure of stippling. The most important thing is that regular script is slow to write, which can greatly reduce some of your impetuous spirit. So it is better for beginners to start with regular script and official script. Of course, no matter what font you like, it is also important. Choosing what you like will greatly increase your interest in calligraphy and make better progress!
