1. Prepare paper and ink: choose a piece of rice paper suitable for writing, and prepare ink and brush.
2. Preliminary frame: First, gently draw a vertical straight line on the paper with a brush or fine pen as the basis of strokes. The length of this line can be determined as required, and it is generally recommended to be slightly longer than ordinary strokes.
3. Curved part: Starting from the top of the straight line, slightly inclined to the right, gradually thickening the strokes, forming an arc curved to the right. This kind of arc can be freely changed according to personal preference and writing style, and it can be a smooth curve or a shape with a slightly full angle.
4. Closing the pen: After the bending part is completed, lift the pen tip upward and gently close the pen, so that the pen tip is slightly pointed or slightly upturned, forming a natural and powerful closing.
5. Use of density: When writing a vertical hook, you can use the change of pen tip and ink to create a density effect. In the curved part of the stroke, the ink concentration is deepened and the rhythm of the line is enhanced.
6. Pay attention to balance: in the process of writing hooks, pay attention to the overall balance and proportion. Observe the position of the hook and its relationship with other radicals or strokes to ensure that its structure is in harmony with the overall font.
7. Practice and practice: It takes many times of practice and practice to write a hook. It is suggested to observe and study more classic calligraphy works and practice them in combination with personal creativity and aesthetics. Through constant practice, you can write a vertical hook with personality and beauty.
The above is the basic writing method of vertical hook strokes, hoping to provide you with some reference. Remember, writing is a personalized process, and everyone's writing style and preferences may be different. You can form your own unique style through continuous practice and exploration. Good luck!
