The hooks of Cao Quan's stele and the deformation characteristics of the hooks are as follows:
1. Vertical hooks: divided into long hooks and short hooks
Hook: vertical hook written with hidden front , which gradually curves to the left and hooks out, is the main stroke of this character. The strokes are exaggerated. The strokes are sometimes sharp and sometimes hidden. This is also an iconic stroke in the official script of "Cao Quan Stele". Such as "Zi", "Li", "Ji", etc.
Short hook: There are left hooks and right hooks. The short hook should not be too stretched, and the thrust is more subtle, either upward or downward, each with its own posture. For example, the characters "Waiting, He, Shi" and other characters are all "left hook"; while the character "民" is "right hook".
2. Vertical curved hook
The way to write is to write vertically with Dai Feng, write diagonally horizontally with turning the front, and close the pen slightly to the upper right to make a forward stroke. Such as "Xian", "Ye", etc. Another way of writing is to vertically and then draw a new stroke, such as "Shi".
3. Ge hook
The characteristic is that the horizontal stroke should be light and the Ge hook should be long. The way to write is to start the pen against the Tibetan front, move diagonally to the right, and gradually press the pen to move forward. At the same time, pay attention to the inclination and stability, and use balanced force, such as "武", "威", "城", "OR", etc.
4. Horizontal and oblique hooks
The writing method is to start with a horizontal stroke, stop the pen and then turn it diagonally to the lower right, and then close the pen slowly to move forward. All characters with wind frames are written like this. Pay attention to the balance of force when writing such characters. Such as the word "su".
Techniques and methods for writing well
1. Correct pen holding posture
Correct pen holding posture is the basis for writing, which can make us more comfortable Control strokes. When holding the pen, the pen should be sandwiched between the index finger and thumb, with the middle finger attached to the pen barrel. The pen barrel should be at a 45-degree angle to your index finger, which allows for more natural control of your strokes. At the same time, we also need to pay attention to the direction of the pen tip. Generally speaking, the pen tip should be facing up, which can make the strokes smoother
2. Practice basic strokes
Practice basic strokes to improve writing Important steps in technique. Basic drawings include horizontal, vertical, left, back, dot, etc. When practicing, we should pay attention to the length, thickness, speed, etc. of strokes, and gradually improve our stroke control ability.
3. Choose a font that suits you
Different people have different font characteristics. We should choose a font that suits us for practice. When choosing fonts, we can refer to the works of some calligraphers or choose according to our own aesthetic preferences. No matter what font you choose, you should pay attention to the standardization and neatness of the strokes.
