How to practice English calligraphy well
When you learn English at school, you must write English. Because English is the second language of China people, you naturally don't know English like Chinese, and whether English is beautiful or not is often ignored.
Because English has only 26 letters, the time and period of practicing Chinese characters are much shorter than that of Chinese, so it can be said that it is easy to practice good Chinese characters.
So if you want to practice writing, or want to write well, let's take a look at these tips for writing English well!
1, pen holding posture
The posture of holding the pen must be corrected, and the correct posture can make the practice get twice the result with half the effort.
① The grip of the pen is about three centimeters away from the tip of the pen, neither too low nor too high;
(2) The pen holder and pen tip should be at 50-60 degrees with the paper surface, the thumb and forefinger should be held on both sides of the pen respectively, and the pen should lean against the first joint;
You can form a new habit of holding a pen, posing and bowing your head in about a week:
2. Writing tools
China's hard pen calligraphy is nothing more than a pencil, a pen and a gel pen. English calligraphy may involve some tools that are not commonly used, so it is particularly important to choose tools according to the fonts you practice. According to the different tools used in each font, we can roughly divide English fonts into three types: pointed font, flat font and daily font.
Usually, there are two kinds of dip pens, namely "sharp tip" and "flat head", while "everyday" font writing has no tool restrictions. Try to use a pen in the early stage of calligraphy practice, choose the type that suits you, and then choose the best quality when purchasing power allows.
"When the pen is on paper, there is often a pleasure of galloping on the battlefield with long guns and short guns.
3, copybook selection
There are many famous English fonts: Gothic, Italian, Copperplate, Ansel and so on. Moreover, each font is not just a single font, and the fonts written by different calligraphy masters in different periods have different names. Although the writing is similar, they also have their own characteristics, so it is very important to choose a good copybook.
4. Only temporary stickers can practice calligraphy best.
If you don't have the same mentality and experience as others, drawing other people's words will feel particularly empty. The road of life is your own, not to mention practicing calligraphy.
Put away the post and write from memory. Generally speaking, there are two methods:
One is to write all the words of a post, and then write it from beginning to end when it is ripe.
One is to recite as many familiar words as possible.
Both of these methods can be used, and they can be used in combination (one part is memorized first, and then all of them are memorized), which is not specific and standardized. After dictation, you should change the words in the post and rewrite them. A post is only a preliminary success if it is all written silently and very similar to the original post.
The last stage, temporarily continue to write. I didn't know the shelf structure of a word until I thought of it, and I didn't know how to write a similar word according to the previous style even if there were no words in the copybook. This is a small achievement.
Step 5 stick to it
Many people practice calligraphy, have good textbooks, good writing tools, good methods and even good teachers, but in the end they still can't achieve the expected results. 99% of the reasons can be attributed to laziness. Whether in Chinese or English, the most important thing is persistence. Writing is not about quantity, but about perseverance. For example, practice one page regularly every day, and you can see the effect in two or three weeks.
At this stage, there will be pain and suffering. Believe me, this means that your calligraphy will make a breakthrough soon.
