Method/step

Point. The dots of Yan-ti characters are thick and heavy, and the writing method is to start the pen against the front, move the pen slightly to the right and lower, and then blunt the pen back to the front. There are three kinds of points in Yan style, such as right oblique point, left oblique point and lifting point. The general method of brush strokes is as mentioned above.

horizontal. The horizontal character of Yan style is relatively thin, but thin but not weak, and strong. It is written in reverse, starting from the pen, raising the pen to the right, then stopping at the right, and returning to the pen. It should be noted that horizontal painting can't be written absolutely horizontally, but it should have a certain inclination.

vertical. The vertical paintings of Yan-ti characters are thick and full, which can be divided into hanging needle vertical and hanging vertical. Its writing method is: start the stroke against the front, pause a little, the center goes down, the hanging needle goes vertically to the end and slowly emerges, and the hanging needle goes vertically to the end of the stroke to pause the stroke.

skim. The skimming of Yan-ti characters should reach the end of the pen, start the pen against the front, slightly slow down, and the center will go down to the left, and then go to the middle and back end with a little effort to slow down the front. It is necessary to be soft and firm, and to be strong and straight.

si. The painting of Yan-style characters is also very distinctive. Its writing method is: start the pen against the front, pause for a moment, and then write down to the right. When writing, pay attention to form a certain natural arc, and then go to the back end, spread the ink vigorously and slowly raise the pen.

discount. The folding and painting characteristics of Yan-ti characters are also very obvious, which is actually a clever combination of one horizontal and one vertical. It is written as follows: reverse the stroke to the right, then lift the stroke from the upper right, turn the stroke downward, and finally return to the stroke to collect the stroke.
