What is the introductory course of seal script?

Introduction to seal script is necessary for beginners of calligraphy. You should save time to copy and learn. In the process of copying, we should draw inferences from others. Because seal script is the earliest mature and perfect font, you need to think carefully and understand it word by word in the process of copying. Getting started skills are as follows:

1. The seal script of Xiao Zhuan is close to Chinese characters. The first feature of Xiao Zhuan is a rectangle, with one and a half characters as the degree, one character as the positive body and one and a half characters as the vertical foot, with a ratio of 3: 2; The second feature is that the strokes are horizontal and vertical, round and even, and the thick lines are consistent.

When writing seal script, we should pay attention to balance and symmetry, and the space division is balanced. Symmetry is the unique charm of seal script. The symmetry here lies not only in the left-right symmetry, up-down symmetry, but also in the local symmetry of fonts and the left-right symmetry of circular strokes.

2. The stippling lines of seal script are balanced and unchangeable, which is even more difficult for beginners to achieve. They need to be controlled, and if they don't control, they will be arbitrary. This is like a beginner correcting a truth. When a beginner makes rules, there are no original rules, only the future Fiona Fang. These two points are the correct focus of learning seal script.

3. The seal script font is tight on the top and loose on the bottom. The theme part is mostly in the upper part, and the lower part is a telescopic vertical foot. The main strokes in the lower half and the upper half can be raised, which has a rounded and vigorous aesthetic feeling as a whole.
