What details does hard pen calligraphy pay attention to? How can I write "live" with a hard pen?

Hard-pen calligraphy refers to an art form that uses hard tools to write Chinese characters and follows certain writing rules. Its writing tools include pens, pencils, gel pens, art pens, chalk, bamboo pens and self-made special pens. It has the characteristics of convenient carrying, quick writing and wide use value. Hard pen calligraphy is divided into hard pen calligraphy art and practical hard pen calligraphy. Practical hard pen calligraphy refers to daily writing, emphasizing practicality, mainly regular script and running script. Writing is characterized by fast and standardized writing and correct writing requirements. Hard pen calligraphy, like soft pen calligraphy, emphasizes the artistry of writing and pays attention to the three elements of calligraphy, namely, brushwork, layout and composition. It pursues beauty, emotion, interest, artistic conception, personality and so on.

Hard pen calligraphy art creation should pay attention to the following aspects.

1: First of all, we must be clear about the purpose of creation.

Calligraphy creation has a purpose, so what was your creative purpose before you created it? Do you want to participate in calligraphy competitions, calligraphy exhibitions, or give them to relatives and friends, or sell them as commodities, or create exercises? Only by clarifying the purpose of creation can we effectively choose the content and method of creation.

Step 2 choose what to write

The purpose of creation is clear, and the content of creation is better. Poetry and songs, prose aphorisms and self-created poems can all be used as writing content. Calligraphy is used to express emotions, so that viewers can feel the author's emotional expression. Therefore, the content of creation should be positive. Don't choose some vulgar, difficult and remote content. The content should be coordinated with the purpose of creation. Some content is not suitable for participating in the competition, and some content is not suitable for giving to friends. The number of words in the content should also be consistent with the composition. Calligraphy creation advocates self-created poems, and it is easier to express emotions when creating. The high unity of form and content is the highest requirement of calligraphy creation and emotional expression. The first run script, the second run script and the third run script are all the same.

3. Determine the writing style and work form.

Once the creative content is determined, you can choose the appropriate book style and work form. Regular script, official script and seal script are suitable for expressing solemn and formal content, cursive script is suitable for expressing bold content, and running script and regular script are suitable for expressing graceful content. Of course, this is just a general idea. Mastering a principle is to choose your own style.

Hard pen calligraphy works can be written horizontally or vertically. According to the content of writing, choose buckets, banners, couplets, fans, picture books, or long scrolls for creation.

Hard-pen calligraphy can use traditional Chinese characters or simplified Chinese characters, and the simplified Chinese characters are best standardized. Don't mix traditional Chinese characters and simplified Chinese characters in a work, and try to use variant Chinese characters with caution. Above all, don't write wrong words. For cursive script and seal script, if you encounter some ambiguous words, it is best to check the professional calligraphy dictionary to determine.

Step 4 choose a writing tool

Confucius said, "If a worker wants to do a good job, he must sharpen his tools first." . One advantage of hard pen calligraphy creation compared with brush calligraphy creation is the diversity of tool selection, including pen and paper. You can choose pens or gel pens for those with more creative content, and art pens, bamboo pens or homemade pens for those with less creative content. Regular script, running script and official script can choose pen or gel pen, while seal script (especially big seal script) and cursive script can choose artistic pen, bamboo pen or homemade pen. As for creative paper, cardboard, white paper, kraft paper, rice paper, hand-cut paper, newspaper paper and coated paper can all be selected. According to personal hobbies and creative content, the paper thickness is 70 to 150g.

5. The composition should be complete

The line spacing, spacing, lines, structure, white cloth, signature and seal of a work are the basic contents of composition. The content of the work should be complete and coordinated, and a complete hard-pen calligraphy text should be signed and sealed completely.

Hard pen calligraphy creation should go through a process of correct font writing, correct writing and beautiful writing.

Hard-pen calligraphy works have less visual impact than brush calligraphy because of the influence of content, tools and paper. However, a good hard-pen calligraphy work is also a work of art, which can also give people beautiful enjoyment. It is also very appropriate to evaluate hard-pen calligraphy with a sentence describing Song Ci "small but good, good but small".
