When writing running script, mastering the conversion between strokes mainly depends on the rotation and twitching of the pen tip. The straightness of the strokes in the running script font gives people a heavy and resolute visual effect. For example, the word "love" in the picture below is very heavy. The curvature of running script strokes presents a kind of softness, which contrasts with straightness, reflecting the beauty and freedom of travel books.
Second, the main points of writing running script are exaggerated.
Exaggeration in running script is the most common writing technique. This change usually has three situations. One is the stretching and extension of strokes to obtain vertical momentum. Second, the brush strokes emphasize cadence, highlight the beauty of curves and enrich the changes of brush strokes. Third, when writing some strokes, when closing the pen, the pen will return to the front and highlight the pen gesture. The word "can" is shown in the figure below.
Third, the thickness of strokes should be different.
Running script is different from regular script, and the same word has different thickness in calligraphy interpretation, so the writing is not necessarily consistent. This change of stroke thickness has its own emphasis in different calligraphy styles. In actual writing, rough strokes are mostly produced by stopping and folding pens, which gives people magnificent visual effects; Fine brushstrokes give people the feeling of running water.
Fourth, pay attention to avoidance and stippling.
All the words that meet left and right are called opposite. When writing, you should not only pay attention to lengthening strokes, but also avoid some strokes, as shown below. Pay special attention to the echo from beginning to end when writing some pictures, which is the basic requirement of running script. For example, between the closing of the previous pen and the closing of the next pen, or between the previous voice and the next first voice, the pen should be disconnected and the momentum should be connected, as shown below.
Fifth, the writing of running script should be oblique.
When writing running script, in order to achieve the artistic effect of "oblique and correct, oblique and correct", we will deliberately write some strokes with positive posture into oblique posture, so as to achieve the effect of "seeking stability in danger and seeking correctness in oblique". The word "one" is shown below.
Running script characteristics
1, changeable brushwork
The writing style of running script is similar to regular script, but the writing rhythm of running script is faster than regular script. Writing, closing and turning are more convenient and flexible, and each has its own advantages. Its main performance is the combination of hiding and dew, and the exposed front is mostly. Such as "column"; Fiona Fang has both round pens, such as "Shang"; The lifting pressure is obvious, and the sense of rhythm is strong, such as "one" and "ancestor".
2. Lively and energetic
The rhythm of writing running script is faster than that of regular script, and it is often natural to bring out some connections with hooks, or to connect the front and back strokes with gestures. However, due to the echo and traction of this hook or tie, the connection between strokes and characters is strengthened, which is more vivid and full of spirit. Such as "yes", "can", "no" and "Mao".
3, writing is convenient
For the convenience and beauty of writing, some strokes or parts of regular script can be simplified or changed. Or replace horizontal with dots, vertical with dots, left with dots, and pressed with dots. Such as Lao, Zhu, Liu and Wei.
4. Knots are colored.
The diversity of structure is another feature of running script. Neat regular script is also the most taboo "up and down, the front and back are flush, and the size is the same", not to mention free and lively running script. Running script often breaks the rigor of horizontal, vertical, correct and stable regular script.
