How to quickly practice pen calligraphy is as follows:
In our daily lives, whether we are working and studying, exchanging ideas, or transmitting information, writing is inseparable. With the improvement of society's material and spiritual civilization, more and more people want to write well. Not only must the writing be standardized and correct, but also the handwriting must be generous and beautiful. Therefore, writing pen calligraphy well is a matter of great practical significance.
Tools and Materials
1. Pens
Usually the pens we use are absorbent pens, and absorbent pens are divided into tip-covered and exposed-tip types. There are two types, the open-point pen is more suitable for practicing calligraphy. When buying a pen, you should mainly look at the pen tip. Choose a pen tip that does not scratch the paper, has smooth water flow and does not leak. The pen tip keeps inking when turning and running. A pen with a certain elasticity is suitable. As for the pen barrel and pen cover, it should not be too heavy and comfortable to hold. .
2. Ink
To practice pen calligraphy, carbon ink is ideal. Carbon ink has strong coagulation properties, is black and glossy, and has a strong contrast between black characters and white paper, making it look like calligraphy. After using ink, tighten the bottle cap immediately to avoid ink oxidation, moisture evaporation and precipitation. Store the ink in a cool and dark place to prevent the ink from deteriorating. Special attention should be paid to the habit of putting on the pen cover immediately after writing with carbon ink. After the pen tip is exposed for a few minutes, it is likely that the ink will condense and the water will not flow smoothly. If this phenomenon occurs, you can use warm water to clean the pen tip or Use a scraper blade to gently sharpen the center seam of the pen tip a few times, and you can use it smoothly.
3. Paper
To practice pen calligraphy, you can generally use ordinary white paper. When you are first practicing regular calligraphy with a fountain pen, you can use special paper for grid calligraphy. No matter what kind of paper you use, the principle is that it is not rough, does not melt ink, has uniform fiber, and has a certain degree of toughness. When practicing calligraphy, it is advisable to use the reverse side of the paper for writing in order to improve the "astringency". After you have a foundation, you can practice on the front side.
Writing posture
1. Sitting posture
Sitting posture is generally used when writing pen calligraphy. The correct sitting posture is: the head should be upright, the body should be straight, the arms should be relaxed, the feet should be flat, the distance between the eyes and the paper should be about one foot, and the chest should not touch the edge of the table. When writing with a pen, there are only finger and wrist movements. Generally, only the wrist method is used, that is, placing the elbow flat on the table and relying on finger and wrist strength to move the pen.
2. Holding the pen
The correct way to hold the pen is to hold the five fingers together naturally. It must be natural, as if you are pinching beans with your thumb and index finger, and then place the pen smoothly on the middle finger. Hold it between the first two fingers, and the back two fingers against the middle finger. The pen is leaning against the tiger's mouth. The angle between the pen barrel and the paper is approximately 45°. The pen barrel should not be vertical or tilted to the left. Don't hold the pen too tightly, otherwise you won't be able to write freely, but don't hold it too loose, otherwise you won't be able to use force on your fingertips.
Writing skills
1. Selection of copybooks
Copybooks are the silent teacher for beginners. Beginners should pay special attention to the choice of copybook.
There are two main principles for choosing fountain pen copybooks: first, it is a template that you like, and you will be interested in practicing it only if you like it; second, it is an excellent template. You can refer to the following three principles. One is to choose copybooks with explanations and examples; the other is to choose high-definition genuine copies from large publishing houses; the third is to choose model copybooks from well-known calligraphers. Well-known calligraphers of hard-pen calligraphy include: Sima Yan, Tian Yingzhang, Pang Zhonghua, Zhao Yanliang, etc., first look at the works of these famous artists and see whose handwriting you like. If whose handwriting impresses you more, choose whoever is your teacher, and choose his copybook as your own copybook. If you choose incorrectly, you will not only waste time and energy, but also easily go astray. Therefore, you should be careful when choosing posts.
2. Practice
Practicing calligraphy is a learning process, and practical learning methods should be mastered.
1. Reading calligraphy is to prepare for copywriting and temporary calligraphy. Read the calligraphy you want to learn from beginning to end and memorize it in detail. Through careful reading of each word, you can grasp the rules of knotting and even write each word. Separate the strokes of a character, and carefully consider the beginning, line, and ending of each stroke, as well as how the strokes are interspersed, avoided, and harmoniously matched. Focus on observing the frame structure, combination proportion, stroke layout, and pen-handling characteristics of the characters, so that you have a clear idea of ??the characters and lay a solid foundation for the next step of writing.
2. Motie is to use relatively transparent paper to cover the copybook with printing and writing, which is what we usually call red tracing. By practicing in this way, you can initially master the writing method of stipples and understand the thickness changes of strokes. , priorities. Every time you write a post, no matter how many times you write it or how long it takes, you must have some understanding in your heart. Be able to familiarize yourself with the structure of the frame and know how to use the pen (such as hidden edge, exposed edge, square pen, round pen, retractable, light and heavy, etc.).
3. Practicing is the most important, direct and critical method of practicing calligraphy. Compare the model characters in the copybook, stroke by stroke, first practice the strokes (you can refer to the eight methods of Yongzi), and then practice the structure; only by breaking away from the tracing can you find the problem. When writing, you should pay attention to whether the layout of all strokes of each Chinese character is reasonable and regular, and then practice Achieve beautiful results.
4. Memorizing the copybook means memorizing the form of the characters without looking at the copybook. It must be accurate and memorized to be considered a master. At the same time, we must be careful not to overdo it. Even if we only memorize one word every day, we must strive for excellence. For words that are difficult to write or words that cannot be written well, it is necessary to focus on practicing and making breakthroughs.
5. Chapter method. Chapter method refers to the method of chapter layout and is used when writing calligraphy works. Mainly the coordination and coherence between words, lines and lines, as well as the size of the fonts and the distance between the words, make the various single words in a reasonable and clever layout form a harmonious and beautiful work of art.
3. Writing strokes
When writing strokes, there are three stages: starting the stroke, extending the stroke, and finishing the stroke.
1. Starting to write
There are three ways to start writing: pause, tip and joint.
Pause: refers to the pen tip making a pause on the paper first and then Writing;
Jianshi: refers to lifting the pen very quickly and very lightly, and the strokes appear sharp;
Connection: refers to the shape of a connection with the previous stroke, usually used In Xingcao;
2. Xingbi
Xingbi, as the name suggests, refers to the use of brushes in the process of strokes. The relationship between the flatness, slant, curvature, etc. of the font at a certain stage is determined by the relationship between the strokes and the strokes. Different changes occur due to the action of force;
3. Retracting the pen
Returning the pen: When retracting the pen, the pen tip pauses for a moment, and then turns inward and reverses the pen;
Edge: When the pen is closed, the pen tip leaves the paper quickly and a sharp edge appears.
Continuous strokes: When closing the pen, you can connect it randomly, mostly used for cursive writing.
