Introduction Skills of Hard Pen Calligraphy
Nowadays, with the deepening of the country's attention, people's interest in learning calligraphy is getting stronger and stronger. Learning calligraphy has many benefits, which not only enables us to write well in the future, but also makes the whole person's temperament better. Next, let's take a concrete look at the introduction skills of hard pen calligraphy. Introduction Skills of Hard Pen Calligraphy 1
First of all, what is a hard pen
Hard pen means all writing pens except the brush. Its writing tools include pens, ballpoint pens, dip pens, pencils, plastic pens, bamboo pens, wooden pens, iron pens, etc. There are dozens or hundreds of Chinese writing skills with ink as the main carrier. It is convenient to carry, fast to write and widely used.
Hard-pen calligraphy, hard-pen calligraphy and hard-pen calligraphy art are three stages of hard-pen calligraphy learning. Therefore, to appreciate whether a word is hard-pen calligraphy or hard-pen calligraphy art depends on whether it is artistic and beautiful. Of course, sometimes it's hard to tell the difference. There is no obvious boundary between hard-pen calligraphy and hard-pen calligraphy art, and it depends on the appreciation level, which rises to the category of appreciation.
learning hard pen calligraphy is not easier than learning soft pen calligraphy. For beginners, learning hard-pen calligraphy actually requires mastering correct practice methods, and more emphasis is placed on the writer's instruction in writing methods. Without targeted and purposeful training, blindly sticking to the post usually has little effect. Have you noticed that the words written by many friends who write all day are still messy and indecent.
This is precisely because they have not yet learned how to write, and they have repeated inappropriate writing methods, and in the end they are nothing more than curing inappropriate methods into their own writing habits.
1. Writing tools
To write well, you should first understand the writing tools you use. At present, the mainstream hard-pen calligraphy writing tools on the market are pens and pencils. Secondly, there are gel pens popular because of the popularity of computer marking, and ballpoint pens with unsatisfactory writing performance.
Next, I will simply start with the characteristics of these pens and compare the differences in performance and use of these pens.
1.1 pencil-a sharp weapon for beginners, with strong expressive force of stroke thickness
In the process of hard pen calligraphy writing, the biggest feature of pencil is its strong expressive force. Even the same pencil, with different force, has different shades of lines. In other words, it can not only show the thickness change of strokes, but also show the depth change of color. Therefore, the pencil has a stronger sense of layering, and the texture it can express is far richer than other similar writing tools. But in contrast, its defects are quite obvious.
Because in the process of writing, handwriting is formed by adhering graphite to paper, unlike a pen, which can eat ink into paper when writing. Therefore, it is very easy to fade and inconvenient to store.
1.2 ballpoint pen-not easy to use, you can throw it away
After explaining one of the pens in detail, the characteristics of the other pens will be easier to explain. Most ballpoint pens use oily ink, which can not only show the thickness change of strokes, but also show the depth change of color to a certain extent.
But the ink of the ballpoint pen can flow to the paper because the ink first flows to a small ball in the nib; In the process of writing, the ball rotates to bring ink to the pen tip and paper. The problem caused by this design is that with the increase of use time, the ball will be abraded to a certain extent, which will make the written strokes thicker. Ballpoint pen not only becomes thicker and thicker with the increase of writing times, but also tends to be lighter in color because of the characteristics of oily ink itself.
Because the change of the light and heavy strokes of ballpoint pens is smaller than that of pencils, it is relatively difficult to control. Therefore, in recent years, the frequency of ballpoint pens in the market has also decreased.
1.3 gel pen-cost-effective, easy to get, and easy to write
It seems that unconsciously, gel pen has become a rookie in the field of writing tools in recent years. Generally speaking, gel pens have smooth ink output and easy control of stroke weight; Therefore, it is easy to get started and has strong maneuverability. Relatively speaking, gel pen is not satisfactory because the brush strokes fail to reflect the change of shade, and the thickness change of brush strokes is smaller than that of pen. Due to the limitation of manufacturing technology, the performance of gel pen refills generally exceeding .5cm becomes weak < P > There is no way to write the tie-string effect as desired. This feature also limits the font size of gel pen, and the words written are generally slightly smaller, which is not suitable for expressing the details of words. Of course, its greater advantage lies in its low price and convenience. For me, I especially love it because it has such a nice nickname as gel pen.
1.4 Pen-Wang Dao, pick a good one and get familiar with it
As a veteran of hard-pen calligraphy, the status of pen is still unshakable at present. The process of writing is itself a process in which writers and writing tools constantly run in. Pen has a long service life and has a natural advantage in the process of running-in with users. Because the pen holder is mostly made of metal, it feels particularly heavy when used;
There is always a pleasure of galloping across the battlefield with a long gun and a huge sword when the pen is waved on the paper. In addition, I personally think that the use effect of a pen with a clear mouth is better than that of a pen with a dark tip because it is more elastic, and the pen with a dark tip is thicker, which will block the writer's line of sight to a certain extent and is not convenient for writing. The matter of choosing a pen has been prepared by our predecessors. Introduction Skills of Hard Pen Calligraphy 2
Tool Preparation
The so-called tools of hard pen calligraphy include hard pen, paper, copybook and so on. Hard pen covers a wide range. As long as the pen tip is hard, anything that can write words is called hard pen. However, for the special pens for hard pen calligraphy training, there can be: normal pens, pencils, calligraphy special pens, etc., which can be selected according to different needs.
Paper includes: general copy paper, special hard-pen calligraphy paper and check paper. The principle of paper selection is that it is better not to leak paper. Sometimes, when you buy hard-pen paper, there will be ink smearing when you write with a pen. Try it first. Plaid paper is printed by the manufacturer, which is convenient for writing.
copybooks are very important. Now all the copybooks are running script and regular script. You can choose your favorite style to practice. There are many copybooks in this field, and everyone likes different styles, but they are almost the same, so it is appropriate to take what they need.
copy preparation
calligraphy must be copied. before copying, the following preparations need to be done:
first, the method of writing. Many people think that writing is very simple, but in fact, writing plays a vital role in writing quality. The method is: hold the hard pen with thumb and forefinger, and the middle finger and other fingers are close to the forefinger in turn. The position of holding the pen should not be too high or too low, and it is best to be about one inch away from the pen tip. The strength of holding the pen should not be too large or too small, and the strength can be held so as not to make the hard pen rotate and relax.
second, sitting posture. Hard-pen calligraphy is to sit down and write because the words are too small. The chest is about a fist position away from the table, the upper body is straight, the eyes are about a foot away from the paper, and the eyes look straight at the copybook and the paper. This has the advantage that you can see the overall situation, so that you don't see the words deformed and write deformed.
copying method
copying training is the main method to learn hard-pen calligraphy, and copying should be taken as a regular task. After this stage, you can enter your own writing. The specific methods are as follows:
stippling training
stippling is the basis of calligraphy, and a Chinese character can be separated to learn, which is an important method and means to learn calligraphy.
how to write a dot: a dot is like a water drop, but it is not drawn, but written. After the light pen is put into the paper, it gradually increases the power to write down to the right, and finally it is pressed down when the pen is closed, which will form a "water belly" and the shape of a point will come out. Note that there are three steps when writing, one is to enter the paper lightly, the other is to go down to the right, and the third is to retract the pen.
the writing method of horizontal painting: when horizontal painting starts, it is necessary to stroke the pen into the paper, then stroke it to the right, and finally, it is necessary to stroke it again to form the pen-closed state. Note that the posture of horizontal painting is not horizontal and straight, but it should be tilted to the upper right to look good.
how to write vertical painting: there are two kinds of vertical painting, one is hanging needle and the other is hanging vertical. The writing methods of these two kinds of vertical paintings are the same, that is, the pen is put into the paper, and the pen is written vertically downwards. When collecting the pen, the hanging needle should gradually lift the pen vertically, so that the pen tip will walk in the middle of the stroke, and finally form a state like a needle tip, while the pen is not lifted vertically when collecting the pen, so as to maintain the same strength, and the pen tip can be returned at the pen collection place.
the writing method of the left-handed painting: the writing method of these two strokes is the same, but the posture direction is different. Skimming is to stroke the pen from heavy to light to the left after the pen is put into the paper, until a sharp shape is formed when the pen is closed. Squeezing is to stroke the pen lightly into the paper and gradually increase it. Finally, when the pen is closed, it is necessary to stroke it, and then send the pen from heavy to light to the right.
How to write folded paintings: There are many kinds of folded paintings, but they are all the same, so you can draw inferences from others when learning. Generally speaking, the folded painting is composed of horizontal painting and vertical painting, but it is necessary to pay attention to the turning point. After the horizontal painting is written to the turning point, it is necessary to write the vertical painting after the pen is written to the right. If there is a hook, it is necessary to write the vertical painting after the pen is written, and then pick it out in a certain direction.
word training
when practicing words, we should follow the principle of from easy to difficult. First, choose some simple words with few strokes to practice, such as "mouth", "wood", "three", "intersection" and "forever", among which there are both stroke combinations and the basis of font training. It is better to copy accurately when practicing. Many people use the method of tracing red in the early stage of learning, which is worth popularizing to beginners.
after having a certain glyph foundation, you can gradually extend your learning to complex glyphs. Because there are many Chinese character shelf structures, including upper and lower structures, upper, middle and lower structures, left and right structures, left, middle and right structures, and single characters, the training principle is to learn from easy to difficult and from simple to complex.

Practice diligently
Don't try to practice all the words. Both A and B practice at the same time, and A is close to 1 words. It's much better than B's rough writing of 1 words. Even if A has 9 words without scribbling, it will be better than B.
Ancient posts take precedence
If you want to practice block letters, you can consider copying Ling Fei Jing. If you are interested in running script practice, for beginners, it is more recommended to use running script with clear strokes and strict laws. Therefore, in writing a book, I recommend Lu Jianzhi's Wen Fu.
It is not recommended to copy
It is not recommended to write with transparent paper (brush calligraphy is acceptable). Hard-pen characters pay more attention to structure than brush characters, while the painting is more written by pen, and the tracing effect of hard-pen characters is very little.
Put an end to typography
The so-called typography is written in a groove with a hard pen, which is a low-level method to treat the symptoms but not the root cause, and there are even many bad habits.
Choose a tool
Pencil, which is a powerful tool for beginners and a toy for masters; Ballpoint pen, not easy to use, decisively discarded; Pen is the king of hard pen calligraphy. Pick a good one, get familiar with it and integrate it. Gel pen is the most cost-effective, easy to master and expressive, and can be used.
Mi Zige Post
Try to keep the position and size of each stroke consistent. Every word should be practiced hundreds of times. Finish writing a copybook. Then start from the beginning. Repeat like this until you stop reading the copybook. You can write every word like it and you will succeed.
