The quality of pen writing tools directly affects the writing effect, so attention must be paid to the selection and use of writing tools. The tools used to write pen letter include pen, ink and paper.
1. Pen. There are many types and models of fountain pens, and the main difference lies in the material of the pen tip. According to the different materials of the pen tip, it can be divided into three types: gold pen, iridium pen and ordinary pen.
Fountain pen - the kingly rule, pick a good one and get familiar with it
As the veteran of hard-pen calligraphy writing tools, the fountain pen's status is still unshakable for now.
The process of writing itself is a process of constant adjustment between the writer and the writing tools. The pen has a long service life and has natural advantages in the process of running in with the user.
Because the pen barrel is mostly made of metal, it feels extremely heavy when used. When the pen is swayed on the paper, it often feels like galloping on the battlefield with a spear and a huge sword.
In addition, I personally think that because the open-tip pen is more elastic, its use effect is better than that of the dark-point pen. Moreover, the tip of the dark-point pen is thicker, which will block the writer's sight to a certain extent and make it difficult to write.
When choosing a pen, you should look at whether the thickness of the two pieces of the pen tip is even and symmetrical, whether the top is rounded, and whether the writing is smooth. When testing the pen, you can write the words "Yong" and "8" multiple times. If the pen tip does not scratch the paper, the water is discharged evenly, and the writing is smooth and smooth, then the pen tip meets the requirements for use. As for the pen barrel and pen cover, it is secondary.
The nibs of fountain pens come in different thicknesses, and a pen with a slightly thicker nib is suitable for calligraphy practice.
2. Ink. It is advisable to use blue-black ink and carbon ink when practicing calligraphy, especially carbon ink. It has density, luster, clear black and white on paper, and is very eye-catching. A pen should use the same color and brand of ink and cannot mix them. Otherwise, it will cause chemical changes and produce precipitation, which will affect the smoothness of writing. If you want to change to another ink, you should clean and dry the nib and pen cartridge before inhaling new ink. After using the ink, the bottle cap should be tightened in time to prevent dust, splashing, and volatilization.
3. Paper. The paper used for practicing pen calligraphy is generally 60 to 80 grams of writing paper, glossy paper, and copy paper that is not smeared, slippery, slightly astringent, and has strong ink absorption. When practicing regular script fonts, it is best to write on paper with grids printed on it in order to arrange the size and structure of the characters and enhance the effect of calligraphy practice.
