Hard pen calligraphy skills

Hard-pen calligraphy skills can be improved from the following aspects: correct pen holding posture, practice of basic strokes, and imitation learning of copying copybooks.

1, correct pen holding posture

Correct pen holding posture is the basis of writing fluency and standardization. The pen should be held between the thumb and forefinger, the middle finger supports the pen holder, and the ring finger and the little finger lightly press the desktop to keep it stable. When holding a pen, you should relax your wrists and arms to control your handwriting freely.

2. Practice of basic strokes

The basic strokes of hard pen calligraphy include horizontal, vertical, left and right strokes. By practicing these basic strokes repeatedly, the flexibility of the pen tip and the ability to control strokes can be improved. I suggest you choose the right writing paper, practice and master the beginning, order and end of each stroke.

3. Imitation learning of copybooks

Copywriting is an important auxiliary tool for learning hard pen calligraphy. Choose copybooks with appropriate difficulty, imitate the style of teachers or professional calligraphers first, and gradually get familiar with fonts and structures. Pay attention to observing and imitating the strokes, brushwork and structure of fonts, and gradually master the key points such as the interval, strength and length of strokes through repeated practice.

4. Practice of font standardization

Knowing the norms and characteristics of writing fonts such as regular script, running script and cursive script can better master the basic skills of hard pen calligraphy. In the process of practicing Chinese characters, we should pay attention to the size, structure and overall balance of Chinese characters. You can use marker paper in practice to help adjust the size and spacing of words.

5. Concentration and perseverance

Hard-pen calligraphy needs persistent practice, paying attention to the practice and operation of each stroke. Stay focused and attentive when practicing, and try to avoid distractions and impetuous mentality. Only by practicing calligraphy every day and constantly accumulating and improving can we achieve better results.

6. Participate in calligraphy training classes or clubs.

If you want to learn hard-pen calligraphy more systematically, you can consider attending calligraphy training classes or calligraphy clubs. Studying under the guidance of professional teachers can get more systematic and in-depth guidance, contact more calligraphy materials and resources, and exchange learning with other calligraphy lovers.
