Copying copybooks, intensive repetition, 50 pieces of paper a night, for a week, my handwriting will improve very quickly. In addition, use a pen, a cheap pen that is difficult to use and very thick, to understand the structure of the strokes. After practicing for a period of time, you will find that you can write pretty well if you switch to a good pen. Because if you use a hard-to-use pen, you will be more deliberate in correcting your overall glyphs. If you switch to a good pen, you will write smoothly and eloquently. After finishing a picture, it’s hard to understand anything.
How to practice calligraphy quickly if the handwriting is too ugly? What are the steps?
1. Basic strokes must be practiced thoroughly
The number of Chinese characters is difficult to measure with accurate numbers. "Shuowen Jiezi" contains 53,525 Chinese characters, the "Kangxi Dictionary" of the Qing Dynasty has more than 47,000 Chinese characters, and the "Chinese Dictionary" contains more than 48,000 Chinese characters. The contemporary "Chinese Dictionary" contains 60,370 Chinese characters. In "Chinese Character Ocean" published in 1994, the number of Chinese characters soared to 85,568.
However, it is difficult to accurately count the actual number of Chinese characters. New Chinese characters are added from time to time, so this number is still changing.
It is obviously unrealistic to practice every word well. However, there are actually only eight basic strokes of Chinese characters. Master the techniques of starting, forming and finishing these basic strokes, as well as grasp the writing speed, strength, shape changes and other writing methods. Then you can practice calligraphy. It can also achieve twice the result with half the effort.
2. The radicals are primarily strengthened
When practicing radicals, you should practice them synchronously with the whole character, because the same radical will be processed differently in different characters. If you want to write radicals well, you must know the strokes and stroke order of each radical, and pay attention to the writing method of each radical. There are 88 basic radicals in Chinese characters, but most of them have the same writing method or pattern no matter which Chinese character they are used in.
For example: when writing "three points of water", the upper two points and the lower point cannot be written on a vertical line, but should present a triangular composition. The second point should be slightly to the left, so as to appear meaningful. Shen Yun is not dull.
The three horizontal lines next to the word "日" should be parallel, with the left side lower and the right side higher. The first horizontal line is the longest and the middle horizontal line is the shortest. If the horizontal line is not horizontal, it can be written as "ti", but the angle cannot be too large.
When writing next to the character "火", you should pay attention to the order of the strokes of the character "火". The left dot is slightly lower, the right dot is slightly higher. The third stroke is a vertical dot. The stroke can be changed to a long dot to allow for the right part.
4. Pay attention to the frame structure
The frame structure refers to the way and rules of interspersing, echoing, matching and combining the strokes that make up Chinese characters into characters. There are four common structures: single character, upper and lower structure, left and right structure, and surrounding structure. Learning the frame structure well is the key to writing Chinese characters well. If you master the frame structure, you will master the secret of writing Chinese characters well.
No matter which words you write, you must carefully arrange and arrange them, so that "the intention comes first".
For example: the left radical or part of a character with a left-right structure should be written small and to the upper left; for a character with a cap or herringbone on it, the cap and herringbone should cover the lower part of the character; when the character is composed of the same upper and lower parts , it should be written that the top is small and the bottom is large, etc. Only by mastering the frame structure can a word look more beautiful. Just like building a house, only when the frame structure is in order will the house be stable and beautiful.
In short, just keep practicing!
