Yesterday, a new classmate from 15LianCi.com asked me: "What kind of copybook is better for an adult like her to buy to practice calligraphy?" Regarding this question, first of all, I think it is important to insist on practicing calligraphy, and then choose a copybook. Find a font that suits you, then don’t change to other fonts and keep practicing.
Practicing calligraphy has a cumulative effect. Constantly changing copybooks will make it difficult to stabilize the font. The so-called flying dragons and phoenixes are used to describe this state of disorganized and chaotic fonts.
In life, when most people choose a copybook, they think, ah, this is pretty, if only I could write like this.
Although the idea is wonderful, the most important thing is that it suits you. Only by choosing the right copybook and comparing it over a long period of time can you get twice the result with half the effort.
What is suitable for you? To put it bluntly, find a font that is similar to you in terms of frame structure, stroke habits, etc. Well, to put it simply, the painting style is the same. Let’s give two examples.
Sima Yan's writing, in my words, is very tough. The strokes have sharp edges and corners, which is suitable for people whose handwriting has sharp edges.
Jing Xiaopeng's handwriting is very soft, and his strokes are soft and round. Suitable for friends who have rounded fonts.
Secondly, you should not only practice calligraphy while practicing calligraphy, but also observe when practicing calligraphy. Why is this word different from what I wrote? What is the difference? You should try to pay attention to it when you usually write.
I usually try my best to write every word carefully. It is better to practice less than to write too much. So during the process, I held my breath and my heart was as heavy as water.
No matter what you do, you can only imitate it at first. If you imitate it more, you will gradually develop your own style.
People's handwriting is constantly changing every day. This process is like having teeth straightened. Aren't the teeth beautiful? Wearing braces will gradually make it more comfortable for you.
The last point is to persist. Although I think it is not the most important, it is the most critical.
What you insist on is not practicing calligraphy every day itself, but insisting on enjoying the process of becoming beautiful. At first, you want your calligraphy to become beautiful, but maybe you will fall in love with the feeling of practicing calligraphy in the end~
So, how can you make your handwriting more like that of a famous calligrapher in a short period of time?
Calligraphy skills:
①The level, fatness and thinness of rules and regulations
②Continuous writing and stroke order of strokes
③Structural extension and emphasis
④Structure density, expansion and contraction
Buy a copybook that suits you and follow the above-mentioned calligraphy skills. I believe you will achieve results.
