First of all, brush turn:
Turning the pen point refers to the technology of turning the pen point from one posture to another. The tip of a brush is usually made of wool, animal hair or wolf hair. By rotating the pen tip, the shape of the pen tip can be changed, which in turn affects the thickness, width and characteristics of writing lines.
Second, the basic posture of the pen:
Hold the pen vertically, keep your wrist relaxed, hold the pen handle with the index finger and middle finger of your thumb to control the nib, and the nib is in vertical contact with the paper to ensure good ink flow.
Forward rotation is to rotate the nib outward, so that the nib slightly deviates from the angle perpendicular to the paper. After rotating forward, the shape of the pen tip becomes narrower, which is suitable for delicate lines and parts used to describe details.
Turn the pen tip to one side so that it forms an angle of about 45 degrees with the paper. The shape of the pen tip becomes wider after lateral rotation, which is suitable for drawing thick and powerful lines and filling a large area.
Reverse, also known as inversion, rotates the nib inward so that it points in the opposite direction. After inversion, the shape of the pen tip becomes flat, which is suitable for horizontal drawing and pen skimming of regular script and running script.
Third, the skills and training methods of pen rotation:
Practice the flexibility of the nib, draw straight arcs in different angles and directions on the exercise paper, control the movements of the wrist and fingers, and make the nib turn over accurately.
By practicing different lines, writing Chinese characters or painting patterns, and trying to use different flip gestures in appropriate positions, we can achieve ideal line effects, learn the basic structure and stroke characteristics of traditional Chinese brush strokes, understand the structure and stroke writing methods of Chinese brush strokes, and better master the skills and applications of flip strokes.
Fourth, the application and development of flip pen:
Pen-turning technology has an important application in China's calligraphy and painting. Artists can express different lines and strokes flexibly by mastering the skills of pen rotation skillfully, making their works more vivid and rich.
In addition to the traditional calligraphy and painting on paper, the technique of turning the brush is gradually extended to digital media. Some e-book templates and drawing software provide the function of simulating a brush, and users can achieve the effect of brushing through gestures or operating tools.
