Skills and methods of practicing hard pen calligraphy 1. To practice calligraphy, you must first practice regular script, and then practice running script and other fonts to a certain extent.
Second, to choose a copybook with explanations, first practice writing radicals for a fixed period of time, usually several months, and then practice writing the whole words without radicals and the whole words of each radical for at least one year. Generally, write the whole word within 16 strokes first. Remember: words with too few strokes (less than 3 strokes) and too many strokes (17 strokes or more) are not easy to write. Practice simplified Chinese characters first, then practice traditional Chinese characters.
Third, use hardcover books (it is best to hide water with pens) and draw vertical lines with your own pencils. The writing size should be 1.2- 1.5 cm. You can't practice writing if you are too young, and you can't write well from the beginning if you are too old.
Fourth, the sitting posture must be correct.
5. Use a pen (advantage: it has a pen tip, forcing you not to write misspelled or lost words) or a pencil (advantage: misspelled, lost or poorly written words can be corrected if found). Practice writing, don't write in block letters with ballpoint pens and signature pens (1, no pen peaks; 2. Oil (water) is too fast; 3, it is easy to write faster and faster.
Sixth, hold the pen correctly. The thumb and forefinger should be aligned, about 2.5 cm away from the pen tip.
Seven, write 50-60 words a day (patient people can practice writing more words, but keep a certain number every day). It's best not to write more, not less, and not to write at the beginning. Every time you write a word, you should first carefully look at how the words on the copybook are written completely. Don't write backwards, don't read stroke by stroke. After reading the copybook, write down a word independently, then compare it with the copybook to find faults, and then look at the next word. The speed cannot be fast. In addition, if you feel that you can't write well, you must practice writing more until you feel satisfied. After practicing for a period of time (generally not less than one month), you can rest for a few days. Look at the copybooks and the words I have practiced these days, and how others write in calligraphers. Only by comparison can we know our own shortcomings.
Eight, after practicing for a period of time, use another piece of paper (where there are squares and autographs, write the year, month and day) to publish the work. Works can be copied poems, couplets on copybooks, or their own poems. You can also show it to your family and friends, especially hard-pen calligraphy lovers, so that they can make a correct evaluation (it is best to know someone who used to write or like calligraphy)
Nine, after practicing the first book, use the second one. The first book must be kept. When writing the second book, always compare it with the words written in the first book. Only by comparison can we know that we have made progress, and so on. You've been practicing for over ten years. Take out the book you practiced ten years ago, and you won't believe it was written by you. You will also think that your handwriting was so naive ten years ago. I believe that as long as you have the spirit of the Long March, you will make progress, your confidence will be enhanced, and victory is ahead. As long as you make progress, your confidence will increase greatly. When others praise your handwriting, when you can't help praising your own handwriting is really excellent, when you want to read and write more every day, you have reached the other side of success.
