How to write the left point, right point, vertical point, apostrophe, and reverse point of the brush

Beginner to calligraphy from the library, there is a good calligraphy copybook, I wish you a happy study.

The basic introductory writing of the brush horizontal and vertical skimming is as follows:

1. Horizontal: The front starts to the left and then the right to the right. Adjust the center of the pen to the left, slightly thinner in the middle. At the end of the horizontal drawing, press the pen down to the right. Lift the pen to the upper left and return to the front to close the pen.

2. Vertical: Reverse front to the left to start the pen, fold the front to the right down the pen, to the left down the pen to turn the front; Downward to the center of the pen, in the process of writing to lift the pen to the front, to the right down a slight pause, back to the front to close the pen.

3. Apostrophe: start from the upper right. Turn the pen to the left. Squeeze it out firmly. Write the pen.

4. Stroke: Potential to the left to the top of the pen lightly, adjust the front to the right down to lift the pen. Press while rowing, fold a few angles, and gradually assist to the low end. The pen is in the middle, and the gathering is then paved. Push it out horizontally to the right, gradually lift it up, and send it to the tip.

How to use the brush:

1. First pour some water into the water cup, then dip the pen tip into the water, and then the pen tip will slowly rise. After all the swelling, gently pinch the tip of the pen a few times with your hand to clean the glue in the tip of the pen, then squeeze the water in the tip of the pen, and smooth the bristles for later use.

When the brush is inked, the tip of the pen should be soaked in the ink for a while, so that the tip of the pen absorbs enough ink before use, so that the effect of writing with the brush will be better.

2. When soaking the brush before use, it is best to soak it in warm water, but not too hot, because the hot water is easy to burn off the pen tip. In general, it is sufficient to soak in warm water for 10-20 minutes. After soaking, wipe the water of the bristles of the brush roughly, and you can wipe it with a soft cloth and toilet paper.

Be sure to wipe along the brush, don't rub hard, and don't wipe back and forth vigorously in order to wipe the water of the brush clean, usually a little water is left.

3. At the same time, when writing, you must pay attention to dip all the brush hairs into the ink, not only half or more than half, which needs to be paid attention to, otherwise the font effect is not very good.

The writing of the apostrophe brush is as follows:

The essentials of the brushwork of the basic stroke "apostrophe":

The key to the pen is to want to go left and right, and the upper left corner is a sharp corner, but not too sharp; The lower right corner is a rounded corner, pay attention to the direction, it is towards the lower left line. As shown in the image above.

The third stroke of the words "six", "light", "come", etc., is an apostrophe.

Apostrophes are also called "dots". In Oukai, the use of the apostrophe is more extensive, especially when it is used instead of the right point, there is often a special effect that is superb.

The writing of the apostrophe is not difficult to master in terms of technique, but it is necessary to pay attention to the length and angle of the apostrophe, and the edge should not be too sharp when writing.

When you start writing, pause slightly to the right, and then skim down to the left; When closing the pen, the end is sharp, but there should be no false tip; The whole stroke should be fat and thin, straight and powerful.

The writing of the brush characters is as follows:

The vertical is generally in the left, middle, and right positions of the word. The upper and lower circles are generally on the left side of the word, also known as the left vertical. How to write it vertically:

1. Lifting the pen, lifting the pen is the replacement of the brush word, which generally appears in the first stroke.

2. Press obliquely, and press the brush naturally.

3. Downward pen, on the basis of the second part of the macro potato naturally downward pen.

4. Lift lightly and lift the pen to the left.

5. Press diagonally again.

6. Return to the pen, and the vertical dew will be completed.

When the vertical is used as the main character, the general skimming is more stretched. Horizontal and vertical as a part of the upper and lower sides, then the skimming is generally replaced by dots.

Let's first look at the horizontal painting is shorter, the vertical painting is more vertical and long, so the skimming needs to be stretched. We say that this situation generally appears in the single body, for example, wood, this type of words, horizontal paintings are relatively short, but vertical paintings are long and straight, skimming two strokes to stretch, such a character also has a characteristic of fewer strokes, need to occupy a full position.

Let's look at the horizontal painting is longer and the vertical painting is shorter, so the skimming should be contracted, for this type of word, it is generally the upper and lower structure, the horizontal and vertical are part of the structure, and the position given is limited, so the horizontal painting needs to be long, but the vertical painting should be short, such as music, traditional Chinese characters are similar to this, and the apostrophe needs to be contracted, that is, it is directly written as two points, in fact, the horizontal painting plays the upper and lower levels, so it happens that the independent character is processed in reverse.

The writing and techniques of calligraphy are as follows:

Diagonal, flat and reverse. When writing obliquely, you should go down the pen to the right, keep the horizontal line at a 45-degree angle, and put the pen down from light to heavy, and pause the pen to the right (to go directly out of the tip). When writing flat, the pen should be lowered to the right, and the pen should be paused in front of the right to come out (the tip of the pen is slightly stretched upward).

When writing the reverse stroke, you should go down the pen to the right, get up lightly at the peak, and then slowly hold down the pen at the middle peak, fold down to catch the peak, and finally return to the peak to close the pen and stabilize the pen force.

Brush writing methods and techniques include:

Apostrophe: It is very decorative in a word, if it can be written naturally, it will increase the beauty of the word, and sometimes it is also symmetrical with the painting, which plays a role in balancing and stabilizing the center of gravity. Apostrophes are divided into oblique skimming, vertical skimming and short skimming.

Oblique skimming: the pen is slightly heavier, from heavy to light to the lower left line of the pen, and the pen is pointed out when the pen is closed. The skimming part is longer and the arc is larger. The pen should be slow rather than fast, and it should be sent to the end.

Vertical apostrophe: the pen is slightly heavier, from heavy to light down the pen, the line of the ante finger to the length of the apostrophe two-thirds of the length to the left to the bottom of the skimming, the pen out of the tip.

Short skimming: the pen is slightly heavier, from heavy to light, to the lower left line of the pen annihilation, when the pen is sharp, the overall is slightly shorter. Short apostrophe is generally written as flat apostrophe when it appears at the beginning of the word.

Brush calligraphy:

Calligraphy is the art of line molding. The so-called brushwork is mainly how to create the ideal line (stippling).

Lift - press the pen to write, the stroke will be thick, and the lift will be thin. Just as the two feet of a person walk, one falling, the other lifting, and constantly alternating, the pen is also constantly lifting and pressing in the process of writing. Only in this way can lines of no different thickness be produced.

Every stroke written by the brush has three processes: entering the pen, writing the pen, and closing the pen. There is a "Lu Feng" method in the pen, which follows the pen to make the beginning of the stroke pointed or square; There is a "Tibetan front method", the reverse front into the pen, the horizontal painting stuffy change to the right first left, the vertical painting wants to go down and go up, so that the stroke is hidden in the stroke, and the beginning of the stroke is basically round.

The pen should learn to "use the pen in the center", so that the tip of the pen often runs in the middle of the dot. In order to make the strokes strong, we must also learn to use the pen with astringency, stay in the line, stay in the line, and avoid flashiness. There are "Lu Feng" (gradually lifting the pen out of the paper, and the painting is pointed, such as hanging needle vertical, apostrophe, pinch, hook), and there is "Zangfeng" (the tip of the pen is withdrawn into the painting, such as hanging and dewing, and the end of the stroke is round).

How to write apostrophe: The first is to write vertically. Reverse the front of the pen to sell, fold the front to the right slightly pause the pen, and then in a vertical route down the pen, to two-thirds of the pen to the left to skim out the sharp tip.

For example, the apostrophe of the words "use" and "month" is a vertical apostrophe. Its writing characteristics: the pen is written against the front, the front is folded down to the left, and the momentum is sharp.

The second is the direct apostrophe. Lift the pen in reverse, pause the pen to the right, turn the front to the left down, lift while walking, gradually turn to the front at the end of the front, and then return to the front to close the pen. Its writing features are:

Reverse the front into the pen, fold the front to the left to go down the pen, lift the pen out of the sharp tip. This method of writing is mainly used to write the words "person" and "she" with hands.

The third type, the writing of arc skimming, also includes orchid leaf skimming. Arc skimming is to enter the pen against the front, pause the pen to the right, and then go down the pen to the left along the semi-arc, to the end, and lift the pen to show the tip. It is characterized by an arc-shaped trajectory that resembles a Mongolian scimitar.

For example, the hand is old and teasing, and the words "husband" and "big" are written. But this is different from the writing of the orchid leaf skimming.

Fourth, the writing of the back of the front. Start the pen against the wind, go down to the right, and then fold the pen to the left and down the pen, in the shape of a bow, and return to the end of the pen to close the pen, without revealing the sharp tip. Its characteristics are:

Reverse front fluffing, back to the front to close the pen, do not show the tip. This kind of writing is more common in fonts such as "Fan" and "Feng".

How to write: The first is to write obliquely. Reverse front of the pen, the peak to the right down, to the lower half, slightly with the meaning of rolling up, to the foot of the pen to stop a little, and then lift the pen to the right out. The key way to write is to lift the pen to the right after stopping the pen.

The second type, horizontal, is also called flat. The way it is written is, the reverse front to the right to start the pen, to the right down pen, such as going downhill, and then stop the pen back to the right to pull out.

The third type, reversed, is written in a somewhat similar way to the long point. That's why some people call it "a bit of a point". If there are strokes in the upper and lower strokes of a word, then the strokes in the other stroke are generally written as reversed.
