Introduction skills of hard pen calligraphy

Nowadays, with the deepening of national attention, people are more and more interested in learning calligraphy. Learning calligraphy has many advantages, which can not only make us write well in the future, but also make the whole person's temperament better. Next, let's take a concrete look at the entry skills of hard pen calligraphy.

Introduction to Hard Pen Calligraphy 1 First of all, what is a hard pen?

Hard pen refers to all writing pens except writing brush. Its writing tools include pens, ballpoint pens, dip pens, pencils, plastic pens, bamboo pens, wooden pens and iron pens. There are dozens or hundreds of Chinese writing skills with ink as the main carrier. 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, which depends on the level of appreciation and 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 the correct practice methods, and more emphasis is placed on the guidance of the writer in writing methods. Without targeted and purposeful training, blindly sticking to the post usually has little effect. Have you found that many friends who have been writing all day are still messy and indecent?

This is precisely because they haven't learned to write, and they repeat inappropriate writing methods over and over again. In the end, it is nothing more than solidifying inappropriate methods into your own writing habits.

I. Writing tools

If you want to write well, you must 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 that are 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 forces, has different shades of lines. In other words, it can display not only the thickness change of strokes, but also the depth change of colors. Therefore, the pencil has a stronger sense of hierarchy, 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, the handwriting is formed by graphite attached to paper, unlike a pen that eats ink into paper when writing. Therefore, it is very easy to fade and inconvenient to store.

1.2 ballpoint pen-it doesn't work well, so you can throw it away.

After explaining one of the pens in detail, it is easier to explain the characteristics of other pens. Most ballpoint pens use oily ink, which can not only show the thickness change of strokes, but also show the depth change of colors to some extent.

But the ink of ballpoint pen can flow to the paper because the ink first flows into a small ball at the tip of the pen; In the process of writing, the ball rotates to bring ink to the pen tip and paper. The problem brought by this design is that with the increase of use time, the ball will be worn to a certain extent, which will make the written strokes thicker. Ballpoint pen not only becomes thicker with the increase of writing times, but also tends to become lighter because of the characteristics of oily ink itself.

Because the change of light and heavy strokes of ballpoint pen is smaller than that of pencil, it is relatively difficult to control. So in recent years, the frequency of ballpoint pens appearing in the market has also decreased.

1.3 gel pen-cost-effective, easy to get, and the habit is quite 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 thickness; So it is easy to get started and has strong operability. 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 process, the performance of gel pen refills exceeding 0.5cm is generally weak.

There is no way to write what seems to be a draw or not. This feature also limits the font size of gel pens, 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 like it because it has a nice nickname like gel pen.

1.4 pen-Wang Dao, pick a good one to get familiar with.

Pen, as a veteran of hard pen calligraphy, is still unshakable at present. The process of writing itself is a process in which writers and writing tools are constantly running in. Pen has a long service life and has natural advantages in the running-in process with users. Because the pen container is mostly made of metal, it feels particularly heavy when used; When the pen swings on the paper.

There is always the pleasure of galloping on the battlefield with long guns and huge swords. In addition, I personally think that the pen with clear mouth shape is better than the pen with dark tip, because it is more elastic, and the pen with dark tip is thicker, which will block the writer's line of sight to a certain extent and make writing inconvenient. The predecessors have prepared for the matter of choosing a pen.

Introduction Skills of Hard Pen Calligraphy 2 Tool Preparation

The so-called hard pen calligraphy tools 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 is called a hard pen. But for the special pens for hard pen calligraphy training, there can be: ordinary pens, pencils, calligraphy special pens and so on. , can be selected according to different needs.

Paper includes: ordinary 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 and write with a pen, there will be ink smearing. Try it first. Plaid paper is printed by the manufacturer, which is convenient for writing.

The copybook is very important. Now all 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 all similar, so it is good to get what they need.

Copy preparation

Calligraphy must be copied. Before copying, you need to make the following preparations:

First, the method of writing. Many people think that writing is very simple, but in fact, writing plays a vital role in the quality of writing. 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. Don't hold the pen too hard or too small, and hold it so hard that the hard pen won't rotate and relax.

Second, sitting posture. Hard pen calligraphy is because the words are too small, so you have to sit down and write. The chest is about a fist 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. The advantage of this is that you can see the whole situation, and you won't see word deformation or writing deformation.

Replication method

Copying training is the main method of learning hard pen calligraphy, and copying should be regarded as a regular task. After this stage, you can enter your own writing. The specific method is as follows:

Pointillism training

Dotting is the basis of calligraphy. You can learn a Chinese character separately, which is an important method and means to learn calligraphy.

How to write dots: dots are like water drops, but they are not drawn, but written. After the light pen is put into the paper, gradually increase the power to write down to the right, and finally press down when closing the pen, 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 gently enter the paper, the other is to go down to the right, and the third is to close the pen.

The writing method of horizontal painting: at the beginning of horizontal painting, pause the pen to enter the paper, then stroke to the right, and pause when the pen is finally closed to form the pen-closed state. Note that the posture of horizontal painting is not horizontal and straight, but inclined to the upper right to look good.

How to write vertical painting: There are two kinds of vertical painting, one is to hang the needle vertically, and the other is to hang it vertically. The writing method of these two vertical paintings is the same, both of which are to put the pen in the paper and write vertically downward. When closing 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 eventually form a state like a needle tip. However, when closing the pen, the pen tip can be withdrawn at the pen closing place without lifting the pen vertically and maintaining the same strength.

The writing method of left-handed painting: the writing method of these two strokes is the same, but the posture direction is different. Pen skimming is to put the pen in the paper and stroke it to the left from heavy to light until it forms a sharp shape when it is closed. Squeezing is to gently draw the pen into the paper and gradually increase it. Finally, draw a stroke when you close the pen, and then send the pen to the right from heavy to light.

How to write folded paintings: There are many kinds of folded paintings, but they are all the same. You can draw inferences from one another when learning. Generally speaking, folding painting is composed of horizontal painting and vertical painting, but pay attention to the turning point. After the horizontal painting is written at the turning point, the pen is written to the right and the vertical painting is to be written. If there is a hook, you should write a vertical picture after the pen is finished, and then pick it out in a certain direction.

Word training

When practicing words, we should follow the principle of easy to difficult. First, choose some simple words with fewer strokes to practice, such as "mouth", "wood", "three", "intersection" and "forever", which have both stroke combination and font training basis. It is best to copy accurately when practicing. Many people will use the method of tracing red in the early stage of learning, which is worth popularizing to beginners.

With a certain glyph foundation, you can gradually extend your learning to complex glyphs. Because there are many structures of Chinese character racks, including upper and lower structures, upper, middle and lower structures, left and right structures, and single words, the training principle is from easy to difficult, from simple to complex.

Introduction skills of hard pen calligraphy III. Practice hard.

Don't worry, practice all the words. Both A and B are practicing at the same time. A has the word 100. Far better than B's 1000 words. Even if A has 900 words and doesn't scribble, it will be better than B.

Ancient posts take precedence.

If you want to practice block letters, you can consider copying Ling Fei Classics. If you are interested in running script practice, it is more recommended for beginners to use running script with clear strokes and strict rules. Therefore, when writing a book, I recommend Lu Jianzhi's Wen Fu.

Copy is not recommended.

Hard writing with transparent paper is not recommended (brush calligraphy is acceptable). Hard-pen characters pay more attention to structure than brush characters, while paintings are written with pens, and the tracing effect of hard-pen characters is very small.

Put an end to fonts

The so-called font is written in the 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.

Selection tool

Pencil, strong expressive force of stroke thickness, sharp weapon for beginners, and expert toy; 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 blend it. Gel pen is the most cost-effective, easy to master, expressive and can be used.

Mi Zige post

Try to keep the position and size of each pen consistent. Every word should be practiced hundreds of times. Finish the copybook. Then start from the beginning. Repeat this until you stop reading the copybook. You can write every word like it, and you will succeed.
