In contrast, grasping a pen with the index finger in front and the thumb behind is like grasping chalk, so some people say that writing chalk is very helpful for practicing calligraphy. Pay attention to every detail, and adjust it if it is wrong. This is the key to practicing good handwriting. I was not used to writing at first, but I got used to it after writing too much.
The beginning of practicing calligraphy is to practice strength and strokes. The basic strokes of calligraphy are a little, horizontal, vertical, hook, fold, left, hold and lift. Also known as "Yong" eight strokes, these basic strokes must be practiced frequently, paying attention to the stroke starting, angle, force and so on. There are videos on the basic stroke training network. You can search for "D 1 hard-pen regular script" on Youku.
Choose this copybook, the choice of copybook depends on personal preference, and you can also copy ancient Chinese characters. It is said that copying ancient Chinese characters is very good for practicing Chinese characters. Look at the copybook first, look at the strokes of the words on the copybook, and the position, direction, angle, length and weight of each stroke. When copying, write the words bigger and slower first. Because practicing calligraphy is also the strength of practicing fingers, the posture of holding the pen may be deformed after practicing for a period of time, so you can take a break or write some big characters to adjust and practice again.
Chinese characters are composed of radicals and some simplified Chinese characters, so you should be able to split and combine them when practicing Chinese characters. For example, the word "six" is 1.1 horizontal, and a small "eight" is added below it. When practicing calligraphy, it is forbidden to repost. Every calligrapher's handwriting is different. Once the copybook is selected, don't change it. You can also draw casually with your index finger when you are free.
The key to choosing copybooks is a good appetite. You can find a great calligrapher's handwriting online and copy it by hand to see if you like it.
