I have practiced calligraphy a lot, but I still can’t write well, so I doubt whether practicing calligraphy is useful. In fact, the reason is very simple, that is, I don’t know how to use calligraphy. So how to use calligraphy to practice calligraphy:
1. It is best for you to buy a practical calligraphy tutorial online and read it carefully to gain a comprehensive understanding of calligraphy and master the basic knowledge. This is very necessary for your development in calligraphy to stay in the right direction and path.
2. Choose a copybook by a famous artist that you like and copy it carefully. Generally speaking, you should learn in the order of regular script, running script and cursive script. When you reach a level that you feel quite satisfied with (if you insist on practicing every day, this period of time is estimated to take half a year to a year and a half), you can take your exercises to a teacher. Only then can you understand the teacher's guidance, because If you have practical experience, you will get faster results. That's why you don't have to be a disciple to begin with. This is for self-study by adults, and is another matter for young children.
3. Calligraphy is a very profound art and knowledge. If you want to do it well, you must practice hard and persevere. In addition to being determined and confident, you must also continue to expand your knowledge and improve your cultural quality and accomplishments as your level continues to grow.
4. How to practice calligraphy? Some people think that the more you write every day, the better. In fact, writing more does not necessarily lead to better results. There must be a good method. First buy a copybook that you like, such as Wang Xizhi's "Lanting Preface" (known as the best running script in the world) or "Holy Teaching Preface" or copybooks by modern famous writers such as Tian Yingzhang, Pang Zhonghua, and Wu Yusheng. You should first carefully look at how each word in the copybook is written, read it over and over again, and think about it over and over again. Don’t be greedy for more at first, just one or two words a day. Write these one or two words until you feel you are good enough, and then gradually increase the number. , three or five words a day, seven or eight words, a dozen words, in short, don’t ask for more, don’t ask for speed, just ask for good. What are you looking at, what are you thinking?
Look at the shape of the strokes and see what shape they look like by tapping horizontally and vertically.
Second, look at the font, what shape the character is, that is, how the strokes that make up the character are arranged and combined, which stroke is long, which is short, which is big, which is small.
Third, look at how the characters are connected, that is, how the upper and lower characters are connected.
Fourth, look at how the lines are related. To see it clearly, you also need to understand how people write, how the pen moves, that is, the strokes and the order of the strokes. Only when you see clearly, think clearly, and then work hard and practice can you write well.
If you have the desire to write well, a good method, and your perseverance, you can be sure that you will see initial results in ten days, big changes in one month, and impressive results in three months, and in less than half a year , you will develop good handwriting.
