Hard pen calligraphy works include banners, vertical banners, squares, circles and so on.
1 banner
There are generally three options for the font of banners, namely regular script, running script and cursive script. Regular script is generally used in more formal occasions, while running script and cursive script are more casual. When choosing the font of the banner, we should consider the aesthetics of the font and the coordination of the overall layout.
2. Vertical amplitude
There are also three options for vertical fonts, namely regular script, running script and cursive script. Different from banners, the choice of vertical fonts should consider the layout of the whole work. If the whole work is based on regular script, then vertical script should also be chosen. At the same time, the vertical font should not be too large, so as not to affect the layout of the whole work.
Step 3 square
Square hard pen calligraphy works are generally suitable for larger banners or vertical banners. In square works, running script or cursive script can be appropriately added, but excessive use should be avoided, so as not to affect the aesthetic feeling of the whole work. The font selection of square works should also be based on regular script or running script.
4, round
Round hard-pen calligraphy works can be written in regular script or running script. In the process of writing, we should ensure the beauty of fonts and the coordination of the overall layout. The font size of circular works should be moderate, neither too big nor too small.
Hard pen calligraphy practice skills:
1, being written
For hard pens, the general writing method is that the middle finger holds the pen at the bottom, and the forefinger and thumb hold the pen at the top to control the pen holder, so that writing is comfortable and natural, and the pen can be used freely in all directions.
The pen holding position is low, and the pen control ability is enhanced, but it is difficult to stretch when writing; Because of the high position, it is difficult to control the pen, but you can write long and stretched strokes freely. Therefore, you should ponder carefully, experience for yourself, and find a writing method that suits you.
2. Sitting posture
When writing, sitting posture is also very important, with steady feet, straight head, straight chest, open arms and abdomen. This is a good way to learn to sit, and it is natural to follow when writing.
Step 3 copy
For beginners, you must copy it many times and then write it temporarily. If it doesn't look like it, keep copying. If you are not proficient in copying, you must slow down your writing. When drawing, copying and temporary, you must see the stroke details of each word, ponder over it and carefully observe and compare it.
