Small letters should be textured. As far as their style is concerned, they should be rich in a natural, simple, naive and simple atmosphere. As far as their composition is concerned, they should have a layout with uneven size, alternating density and strange patterns. As far as its structure is concerned, it should be dignified and elegant; As far as its pen is concerned, it should have a strong and powerful style, mainly including a strong power generated by the use of the pen in the center and a sense of astringency brought by the change of rhythm.
In fact, writing fine print is not that difficult. We should make full use of the flexibility of the pen tip and the training of pen control ability.
Below, let's take a look at what problems and methods need to be paid attention to in the process of writing lower case letters, and we must start with basic strokes.
Taking Ling Fei Jing as an example, let's take a look at the basic strokes, such as starting, transporting and receiving, and analyze them.
When starting the pen, cut into the paper at a certain speed, resulting in the effect of left tip. Continue to gradually press the nib to the right (do not press the pen down to the right), and stop to collect the pen (lift the nib from the paper). The horizontal cutting potential is slightly flat. Judging from the outline of the line, the lower part is a straight line and the upper part is an arc. The curvature of the front part is small and straight, and the curvature of the back part is large. Novices tend to write too carefully and hang up when they close the pen. Flat shears should be short, round and elastic.
The posture is oblique, and the writing is similar to that of horizontal cutting. The pen starts from a certain angle, but not too big (from the upper left). There are two kinds of pens, one is to stop the pen to the upper right and pick it up quickly; A kind of pressing to the right and then picking out (hook shape), which is generally used for stroke collocation with vertical potential such as skimming and vertical. The horizontal radian of upward cutting should not be too large.
Short, flat and horizontal strokes are truncated from upper left to lower right, then lifted slightly to the right, and finally lifted slightly to the left to collect the pen. Finger movements are as follows: thumb, index finger and middle finger extend to the upper left, then retract quickly and press down. After the pen tip touches the paper, it quickly changes from fast to slow. After pressing it, it raises the pen to the right, and the ring finger and the little finger move to the right in parallel. Press the thumb and forefinger to the right and press hard, then relax and close the pen. The short horizontal direction is slightly inclined, and the middle can be slightly thinner.
If the pen is short and flat, quickly pick it out to the right after writing, and the right side forms a sharp shape, generally taking the trend of the upper right.
The process of lifting the pen is similar to short, flat and horizontal, with a long shape and a flat trend. The two ends are slightly thicker than the middle and the middle is thinner, which requires that the pen in the middle line should be lifted gently, from slow to fast, then from fast to slow, and then closed and pressed. Different angles can be used to increase the horizontal and vertical morphological changes.
Similar to a long flat, the slope is larger than it, the middle is convex, the shoulder pole is shaped, the shape is long, the middle is thin, the two ends are thick and the middle is fast.
The third finger reaches to the upper left and cuts off quickly. Press the pen down again, and the index finger and thumb will give a recoil. The middle finger will push the ring finger and the little finger down, and the speed will change from slow to fast. Press again, and then close the pen. It is required to be vertical and straight, slightly thinner in the middle, just like a long flat shape.
Starting a pen is similar to hanging vertically, and the stroke reaches two-thirds of the place. The nib moves down quickly, and the nib suddenly raises the paper. The tip of the tail is like a hanging needle, hence the name "hanging needle vertical" When learning for the first time, I often write sharply soon after I put pen to paper, and it is easy to skew, like a "mouse tail". Remember to slow down first and then fast.
The process of lifting a pen is similar to hanging vertically, but the shape is shorter. When it is in the middle of a word, it is straight. When it is on the left, it has two forms: directional potential and counter potential. In the direction, the head is to the left and the middle is slightly to the right. When the back is open, the pen is slightly lighter and the interruption is slightly to the left.
Cut it off first (the middle finger touches the top, and the thumb and forefinger protrude from the upper left and fall back quickly), then pause at the lower right, and then slowly press the pen to the lower left, and the speed is faster and faster, and the wrist is quickly thrown to the lower left, and the nib quickly leaves the paper. According to radian, it can be divided into straight and curved. The straight radian is very small, the lines are straight and sharp, and the bends are straight and curved, which is elastic.
Insert a brisk line pen from the top left to the bottom right, pause for a while and then go out to the right. The most important thing to avoid when writing is to hold the corner and draw obliquely, just like two strokes of writing. The key is that the pen can't stop when writing.
For example, if the upper part is short and vertical, the pen will be put down horizontally, and then gently pressed down after stopping the pen.
