First, the order of strokes
Chinese characters are square characters, most of which are composed of more than two strokes. There is a certain rule about which to write first and which to write later. This is what we often call stroke order.
The convention of stroke order is a writing skill that China calligraphy artists have been practicing for thousands of years. In actual writing, the stroke order mainly includes: first horizontal and then vertical, such as "ten"; First up and then down, such as the word "male"; First left and then right, such as the word "back"; First in the middle, then on both sides. Generally, you write a sketch first and then a horizontal line.
Second, the pen speed.
When writing, you should have a certain writing speed, neither too fast nor too slow. Brush calligraphy, like hard pen calligraphy, needs to be dipped in ink in the writing process of brush, and the shade of ink should be controlled well.
If you write too fast, the ink can't keep up with the handwriting, and the strokes will dry. If you write too slowly, you may be covered with ink. Generally speaking, the speed of strokes has the following essentials: slow strokes should be straight and fast; The corner slowly stops bending; Fast and slow browsing; Slow in horizontal direction and fast in vertical direction.
Third, the direction of the pen
That is, the direction pointed by the pen tip during writing. The direction of the pen is directly related to the posture of the pen, so whether a word can be written with momentum is the key. It is especially obvious in running script, because running script is often connected by dots and pictures, ups and downs, and echoes from beginning to end. Beginners should practice the writing skills of the pen tip more and make the pen heart.
Fourth, the pen is heavy.
The strength of strokes is the main writing skill to express the outline of strokes. Press again to make the strokes thick and thick, and press lightly to make the strokes thin and the ink light. What controls the strength of the pen is mainly the strength of the pen tip entering the paper.
For example, when sketching, the brushwork is first heavy and then light, and when sketching, it is first heavy and then light. The stroke that best reflects the exchange of pen power is the "stroke" at the bottom. And the same is true when writing some stippling, such as writing a little longer, first light and then heavy.
