Some people always ask, do you want to practice pen control when you just start practicing calligraphy? How to practice pen control? How long does it take to practice pen control? Why is it ...... that there is no effect after practicing pen control?
Today, Wanjuanjun will carefully talk about these questions about pen control:
1.When do I need to practice pen control?
2.How to practice pen control?
3.How long does it take to practice pen control?
Beginners who have just started to practice calligraphy are recommended to collect and do it, and book friends who have been practicing for a period of time but have not seen results can also check themselves to see if there is a problem with the pen.
When do I need to practice pen control?
Beginners when practicing calligraphy,The strokes are always not written properly, and most of the time it is due to the instability of the pen movement, which is related to the lack of systematic pen control training.
So what is pen control training? As the name suggests, pen control training is training to help the practitioner control the "pen". Only by skillfully controlling the pen and letting the pen "point and type" can you write high-quality strokes.
Many beginners have two major misunderstandings when practicing pen controlWanjuan-kun wants to correct it for everyone:
Myth 1: Everyone needs to be trained in pen control.
The answer is no. Beginners or those who have major problems with pen control need to do the usual pen control training. Book lovers who already have a certain foundation, or who have good stroke writing, can skip the pen control training.
Myth 2: All pen control actions need to be trained.
The answer is also no. If there is a big problem with a stroke, you can do special training on the problematic pen movement.
For example,If you can write straight horizontally, but you can't write straight in vertical drawing, you can specially train the pen control action of vertical shrinkage and picking.
Therefore, the pen control can be practiced, but not blindly practiced, targeted training, grasp the action is the key, be wary of ineffective training!
How do I practice pen control?
I have mastered the general control of strokes, and if I want to practice my strokes more finely, I can do soStroke length, angle, radian, thickness, and stability controland other aspects of systematic training.
Combine pen control actions and strokes, and achieve the effect of "hand and pen integration" through repeated pen control exercises.
For example, in addition to practicing the movement of the wrist, you can also practice the horizontal drawing pen:
Length-to-short variation training
The change in the length of the strokes is sometimes a manifestation of the relationship between retraction and release.
Some people's writing is too stingy, that is, some strokes are not long, and some people's characters are not atmospheric, which means that there is no primary and secondary strokes. Therefore, when practicing pen control, you should also be able to be short and long, and dare to collect and release.
Angle change training
In many cases, the change in the angle of the stroke can play a role in stabilizing the center of gravity.
Some people's font tilt is caused by the tilt of the strokes, and some people's font is mediocre because the stroke angle does not change at all. Therefore, it is also important to pay attention to the angle changes of the strokes when practicing pen control.
Radian change training
The curvature of the strokes can sometimes make the overall glyph transition between rigidity and softness.
Some people's strokes are too curved, causing the glyphs to look weak and weak; Some people's strokes are all straight lines, which makes the glyphs look a little dull. Therefore, the square and straight strokes can also become a key point of our pen control training.
Thickness change training
The change in thickness is a manifestation of the rhythm of writing, sometimes a little brisk will be a little thinner, and a little slower will be thicker.
Some people write too lightly and quickly, which seems to be fluttering; Some people write too heavily and slowly, making it black. Therefore, mastering the thickness of the strokes is also an important part of practicing good characters.
Stability training
In addition to mastering the basic pen control movements, stability training also requires proficiency in several changes of pen control in order to form smoothly.
Strokes are ever-changing, and when you practice the pen control training of strokes, you can try to try different pen control changes like practicing horizontal drawing above.
How long does it take to practice pen control?
In fact, the training of pen control runs through the whole process of practicing calligraphy. Strokes, radicals, words, words, sentences, and passages all have the shadow of pen control practice in the practice process.
Therefore, it is generally not recommended that you simply practice pen control and simply draw lines out of Chinese characters.
Unless there is a very big problem with a certain type of stroke, this type of stroke can be singled out for separate special training.
How long does it take to practice pen control, and to what extent do you want to practice it?
In fact, if it's just a daily writing,It is enough to control the pen as long as you master the basic pen movements.
If you want to reach the level of using a hard pen to refine the ancient post,In addition to mastering the pendulum, shrinking, picking and other actions, it is also necessary to master the fine pen movements such as lifting, pressing, turning, folding, and pausing.
So stop being stupid and practicing pen control alone. Targeted and targeted practice of pen control can more effectively practice the desired effect.
