1. Prepare writing tools: choose a writing brush or a pen with a thin tip, and paper suitable for writing.
2. Positioning the starting point: The vertical hook is usually part of other strokes, so you should first determine the position of the previous stroke. Assuming that the previous stroke is a horizontal stroke, the vertical folding hook can be connected below the horizontal stroke, and the starting point is located a little above the right edge of the horizontal stroke.
3. Write the upper part of the vertical hook: write a short vertical line upward from the starting point, accounting for about a quarter to a third of the whole stroke length.
4. Write the lower half of the vertical hook: write a small arc from the upper end of the vertical line to the lower right, and the arc is connected with a downward diagonal line to form a hook.
5. Determine the stroke thickness: When writing a vertical hook, you can control the stroke thickness as needed. Generally speaking, when writing, the upper and lower parts of strokes can be slightly deepened to make the hook shape more obvious.
6. Practice and repeated writing: Just like learning any calligraphy strokes, practice and repeated writing are the key to improving the writing skills of vertical hooks. Practice can be strengthened by imitating model figures or observing calligraphy works.
It should be noted that the above description is based on China's traditional calligraphy strokes, which should be appropriately adjusted according to his own writing habits and personal style. Through constant practice and exploration, you can gradually master the skills of writing vertical folding hooks.
