Be confident that you can write beautiful and good words! Then, we should cultivate an aesthetic view of calligraphy and have an interest in calligraphy. Finally, of course, it is the most critical. To find a good copybook, the font is what we appreciate very much, and then copy it. First, we should cover the copybook with transparent paper to describe it. After practicing for a while, we will take the paper away and copy it to the copybook. After a while, we put the copybook aside and wrote it ourselves. After writing, we will compare it with the copybook to see what is different. Finally, there is the stage of self-innovation: because at this time, what you write is still XX style, you can transform some strokes and font structure according to your own ideas and make it a font with your own unique style! If you are interested, you can also practice brush calligraphy, because it is very beneficial to practice hard pen calligraphy. Finally, I want to explain that practicing calligraphy is a long-term subtle process. Don't expect it to impress people in a short time, you must practice every day and persevere.

Copying should also be combined: Copying is the most basic way to learn calligraphy, not only for beginners, but also after a certain foundation. Learning regular script requires copying, while learning seal script, official script, running script and cursive script still requires copying. Calligraphers spend their whole lives copying, learning, thinking and creating in copying. Copying is to cover the copybook with thin paper, and then follow the shadow with a pen and write according to the exposed handwriting, which is also called "imitation" or delay writing. Another method of copying is called "tracing red", which is to fill in the words printed with red lines with double hooks.

The method of copying posts: the first step is to draw red. That is, select clear and complete words from posts and cover them with transparent and ink-tight tissue paper, such as typing paper, glossy paper and tracing paper. , and according to the outline of the word with a very thin line hook into a hollow word, known as the "double hook". Then use the marked words as red books, fill them in red ink, then fill them in blue ink, and finally fill them in ink. This writing can not only deepen memory, but also save paper. When copying a post, you should pay attention to the pen that follows it, and never go out of shape. You should look at the ins and outs of strokes and try to figure out its brushwork and structure. Copying posts means "writing", and the strokes are full and accurate, so don't fill in the gourd painting.

When writing, you should determine the primary and secondary relationship: the stippling of words has primary and secondary points. Although there are only a few main pens in a word, most words are written by main pens. On the other hand, the main strokes of a word tend to extend outward, while other minor strokes tend to converge inward. Determine the primary and secondary, it is clear which stippling should be extended and which stippling should be contracted. Therefore, it is very important to analyze and determine the main pen.
