How can I write beautiful words? Are there any good handwritten fonts that can be downloaded and with strokes?

Method. The most important thing is the method!

Method 1: It is best not to start with regular script.

Psychological method: Many people always seek the opinions of others and teachers when they start practicing calligraphy. Most of the answers are to choose copybooks first and learn from Europe. But these posts are all brush copybooks, and the strokes of regular script are rigorous. If you want to write them well, it is difficult to see results without enough years. This causes most people to lose confidence because they can't see the trace of progress in practice.

The main reason for losing confidence because of little effect is that the effect of regular script practice has not been strengthened, but has been constantly disturbed. Why do you say that?

While practicing calligraphy, we have to face all kinds of writing tasks. Teachers also write lesson plans and blackboards every day. Students have to do homework and exercises every day. These tasks force teachers and students to consider speed when writing, so it is impossible to use strict regular script when completing these tasks. If we practice regular script while practicing calligraphy and doodle at other times, the effect of practice can be imagined.

Secret 1: Start with a running script.

Psychological method: According to the above analysis, if we start with running script, we should practice running script, write lesson plans and do homework with running script, which can achieve the effect of applying what we have learned. This is the most practical method. If you choose to practice running script, you can consciously practice it at any time in your daily writing process, and you can find your progress at any time, thus constantly enhancing your confidence in practicing calligraphy.

Method 2: You don't need to buy copybooks.

Psychological method: newspapers are indispensable for teachers and students. Nowadays, newspaper headlines include all kinds of fonts, even more if there is a computer, and the running script font (or running script) is most suitable for beginners. Because this font has the characteristics of running script, it is not far from regular script, so it is helpful for learning to change from running script to regular script. However, the running script copybooks on the market often have the author's style and may not be accepted by everyone; Or it is too far away from regular script, which will bring some difficulties to the conversion of regular script.

Therefore, to practice calligraphy, you don't need to buy a copybook, just pick up a newspaper and write on it.

Tip 2: Practice the bookshelf layout first, and then practice the brushwork.

Mind method: Some people can't practice calligraphy well because they don't grasp the key to practicing calligraphy.

First of all, please observe how modern buildings are built. Modern architecture often adopts frame structure. First, beam, column and floor concrete are poured, then brick walls are built, and finally decoration is carried out. The structure of beams and columns determines the shape of a building, and no matter how luxurious the decoration is, it is difficult to cover up the structural defects.

Similarly, the formation process of a good word should be like this. In fact, whether a word can give people a beautiful feeling depends on the shelf structure of strokes, or the layout of strokes. Reasonable spacing and proper stroke layout are good words. As for what is hidden, the winger, priority and so on can be ignored. If you don't believe me, look at the "bold" or "young circle" in the newspaper or computer. The strokes of these fonts are the same thickness from beginning to end, and there is no brushwork, but it does not affect the appearance.

In other words, the so-called brushwork, in a word, is equivalent to decorating a house, which can be decorated classically or elegantly. Similarly, under the established layout of a word stand, it is decorated with different brushwork, thus making the difference between regular script, Weibei, Songti and running script.

Therefore, to practice calligraphy, we must first practice the shelf of calligraphy and figure out how to lay it out. It's not too late to start practicing brushwork until you have a blueprint for every word in your heart. But now some people start practicing calligraphy, and they don't know what to do. They only care about brushwork. They focus on how to exert their strength and how to frustrate every day. It's in vain. Over time, they lost confidence in practicing calligraphy.

In addition, now we basically don't use a brush, but now students basically don't use pens, they all use those "neutral pens", so it doesn't make much sense to emphasize brushwork.

Tip 3: Practice one word every day.

Mind method: please see clearly, it is to practice a word, not to write a word.

There are all kinds of copybooks on the market, and some of them are equipped with (translucent) white paper for beginners to copy. But it is this kind of binding design that has brought great energy waste to beginners and even killed their confidence in practicing calligraphy. The reason is that such a design usually does not conform to the practice rules.

In order to show the author's profound skill, every page of the copybook on the market is covered with the author's big and small words. Some beginners don't understand the truth, so they write it word by word in white paper. The author wrote a poem on this page, and he also wrote a poem along with it. He wrote a lot of words along the way, but may I ask: which word is well practiced? The result can only be to write a lot of waste paper, but not a word!

The method of practice should first be small steps and quick running, and professional practice. It's like learning radio exercises, one small step is proficient, and then learn the next small step. If you practice radio with the coach from beginning to end every day, just imagine, who can learn radio practice well? Even if you study well, you will be in trouble.

The same is true of writing. It is enough to practice one word every day. But the requirement is that the word can be traced back from description to copying, until it can be similar to the font on the copybook as soon as it is shot. At this point, you can go to the next word. Of course, you don't have to worry about practicing all the commonly used 3000 words in this way. As the saying goes, practice makes perfect, and quantitative change will cause qualitative change. As long as you can think more, summarize more and pay more attention to the rules of the layout of Chinese character bookshelves in practice, at a certain time, you will be able to achieve mastery through a comprehensive study, and good words will be freely revealed from your pen.

Method 3: Change from running script to regular script.

To practice running script, we must change it from running script to regular script. As mentioned above, whether it is running script or regular script, the layout of words is the same, and the difference is only the brushwork. Regular script is rigorous in brushwork, and you can't relax at all. It needs to think and draw with a pen, so it can test and temper a person best. Therefore, only practicing running script without practicing regular script can cope with the usual writing, but after all, it lacks spirit, that is to say, it is only "writing" and cannot be called "calligraphy". Therefore, bold characters are only used for printing, and if they are used as their own "calligraphy works", they will be laughed at.

It's not difficult to practice regular script after practicing running script and mastering the layout of characters. Just slow down the writing speed slightly, cancel the stroke adhesion of running script, and gradually integrate into the regular script. Soon, a good regular script will flow from your pen.
