First of all, we must master the writing style and adjust the sitting posture. This is the preparation work that should be done before the formal training of pen control.
Secondly, we should start with the basic lines and train the ability of drawing lines. By drawing horizontal lines, vertical lines, oblique lines, curves, broken lines, dotted lines and other simple ways, we can consolidate the correct pen holding posture, coordinate the training methods (fingering and wrist) and eye methods (training eyesight), and be familiar with the basic pen and line handling for entering, writing and receiving pens.
The goal of practicing pen control is to make the pen in your hand hit where it points. During the practice, feel the thickness change and the starting and ending position of the strokes with your heart. By repeatedly practicing the control of the pen, you can achieve the "combination of hand and pen". The pen can be controlled freely in your hand and you can let it do whatever you want. From horizontal to vertical, it's a piece of cake.
The importance of pen control:
Stroke is the basis of calligraphy. Stroke practice can be said to be the most basic thing to learn calligraphy. Length, thickness, angle, radian and so on. Only by using your heart and hands skillfully can you continue to contact and finish words. Pen control starts from basic lines, and training line drawing ability is relatively simple for children and adults, which can enhance the self-confidence and interest of practitioners.
Correct the pen holding posture. Pen control training can practice the coordination ability of wrist, finger and pen, and correct the wrong pen holding posture of hooking wrist or clenching fist, which is very useful for practicing calligraphy. Improve concentration. Pen control training needs to concentrate on describing copybooks, and a horizontal line or a curve needs to concentrate on writing well, so pen control training can improve concentration.
