Carving method:
According to the carving method, it is divided into single knife and double knife. Single knife strokes in the middle, mostly used to carve fine Zhu Wen; Double knives are cut on both sides of strokes, which are mostly used to carve thick white and Zhu Wen.
According to the different knife potential, it can be divided into three categories: punching knife, cutting knife and punching combination.
According to the different methods of holding the knife, the different potential of transporting the knife, and the scars caused by the thickness and bluntness of the knife, various seal cutting schools have been formed.
How to carve:
Prepare a meat cutter, stone, brush, rice paper, copy paper, sandpaper, inkpad, etc. And then borrow a seal cutting dictionary. It is best to start from Han and India, copy first, and then create. If you have a basic knowledge of calligraphy, it will be easier. If not, it doesn't matter. Just stick to it. Before carving, smooth the stone with sandpaper, and then carve it with reference to the following methods.
Draw Yin Gao first, you can write it on paper first, and then put it on the seal material after you feel satisfied. Another method is to write directly on the stone (the raw material for carving), prepare a small mirror, look into the mirror, and revise it repeatedly while writing until you are satisfied. When carving, prepare the Yin Chuang and fix the materials on it. Of course, large materials can be carved directly by hand.
