How should beginners practice Xingkai? Give you a perfect answer

Many beginners like to practice "Hard-tipped Xingkai". First, it is easy to practice, second, it is easy to use, and third, it looks good.

It is easy to practice, which means that it is much easier to practice than regular script. Regular script needs to be practiced carefully, and there is no room for sloppy. Xingkai, on the other hand, can be a little more lively, less rigorous, and easy to write.

It is easy to use, which means that it is used more often, because it is impossible to write so slowly in normal writing, and it needs to be written quickly , It is not practical to write slowly, but it is beautiful to write slowly, but usually when you actually write, no one is there to grind, it is basically a sketch. Therefore, it is very important to practice Xingkai.

Good-looking, which means that it looks lively and full of rhythm. It is more charming and artistic than regular script, and it is very easy to write. It's exciting and easy.

In view of this, it is very meaningful to practice Xingkai, especially gel pen Xingkai.

Next, let’s talk about how to practice Xingkai systematically, from which aspects to train, what are the problems that need to be solved, or what What good magic tricks and so on.

The first step: first practice the basic strokes of Xingkai. This is the first pass. Strokes are the premise of calligraphy practice, if the strokes are not well written, there is no need to talk about the whole character.

The strokes of Xingkai are different from those of regular script. You need to pay attention to this. After all, they are two different fonts, but there are many similarities If you have time, it is better to practice the strokes of regular script first, and then practice Xingkai, that will be even better. However, many people don't have more free time to practice regular script, so they want to practice Xingkai directly, so they have to find some magic methods. For example, the pictures below are illustrations and annotations for writing the basic strokes of Xingkai, which can be understood at a glance.

This picture shows the horizontal writing of the basic strokes of "three consecutive dots" in Xingkai. If you carefully observe the annotations next to it, you can understand the truth. There are more examples below. First understand the strokes, practice them well, and then combine specific example characters, which will be more conducive to quick success.

The second step: Practice the radicals of Xingkai. Radicals can be said to be half of the practice of calligraphy. In fact, some radicals can be regarded as a character. Radicals are composed of basic strokes. Therefore, it is best to practice basic strokes before practicing radicals. Let's practice radicals again. Here are a few examples of radicals in Xingkai:

The cursive character head is a frequently used radical. It can be written like regular script or deformed according to needs. different forms. As shown in the picture, pay attention to the annotations on one side, and write after you understand it. For example, when writing the character "grass, bitter", not only the initials of the cursive characters must be well written, but also the structure of the entire character must be well written, so that the overall look is coordinated.

The radical below is the beginning of rain. The beginning of rain in regular script is very slow to write, while the beginning of rain in Xingkai , it can be omitted or simplified, as shown in the figure, so that writing is fast and full of rhythm.

Look at another radical: next to the font. Different from regular script, it can be formed with consecutive strokes. Pay attention to the annotations in the picture, pay attention to some details, and don't write the wrong number. For the example characters "Xiong, Wei, Ya", pay attention to writing the side of the text well, and also pay attention to the frame structure of the whole character. Don't write too flat, but keep it basically square, a little bit flat is fine, but not too much Wide and flat.

The third step: Practice the frame structure of Xingkai. Structure is very important, especially when writing quickly, the structure is even more important, because in the state of fast writing, there is no time to think about the meticulous carving of strokes. At this time, you have to focus on In terms of the frame structure, if the structure is not well written and the writing is unstable, the whole character will not look good. No matter how strong the strokes are, it still looks bad.

The frame structure of Xingkai can be divided into many types. Here are some common types of frame structure:

Narrow on the left and wide on the right Open some, it looks stretched and generous, not dull. As shown in the figure, with this structural situation, the entire character can be regarded as a sideways trapezoid, rather than a square form. This way of writing is more characteristic and lively.

Look at another structure type: left long and right short structure, as shown in the figure, the left side is long up and down, and the right side is short Yes, this kind of structure cannot be written in a square shape, otherwise it will be loose and dull. For these characters in the picture, the left side should be written freely, and the right side should be written compactly. Pay attention to the part on the right not to droop, but to be slightly higher, so that it looks balanced and stable.

The fourth step: Practice the layout of Xingkai. Writing is not about writing a single character, but multiple characters or even a whole text. At this time, we must consider the problem of composition and arrangement. The following are examples of several constitutional formats.

This picture is about the grid format. When writing in the grid, there are requirements for how to write properly, so that it looks coordinated and stable. As shown in the picture, carefully look at the annotations in the picture, pay attention to the appearance of the wrong number in the picture, and understand why it is wrong, where it is wrong, and how to write it correctly. When multiple characters are written together, pay attention to the coordination of the entire line and the stable center of gravity. As shown in the figure, the position of the center of gravity is very important. Use the reference dotted line of the grid to determine the center of gravity of each character. If it is a blank square without auxiliary lines, then you have to rely on eye observation to find the virtual center of gravity, and then write each word around this center of gravity.

The picture below is about the arrangement of horizontal or vertical grids, as shown in the figure. You can choose according to the actual situation according to the ancient writing format or the modern writing format. When writing in this kind of grid, the center of gravity of each character should be arranged along a virtual dotted line. The characters should be in the middle of the grid, or slightly lower, but try not to touch the grid line. Of course, the main pen of some characters It is relatively long and can touch the grid line, and the rest of the secondary strokes are written compactly, so the overall look is still neat, neat and coordinated.

The fifth step: Practice Xingkai’s unique trick. Sometimes, calligraphy practice does not make progress, not because there is less time to practice, but because some convenient and ingenious methods have not been found. Interested in practicing calligraphy.

This picture shows the relationship between the main stroke and the secondary strokes, and the shape of the font. If you want to write lively and energetic writing, it is best not to write so square, otherwise it will look loose and weak and dull and even. As shown in the picture, this kind of sideways trapezoidal structure looks very artistic, chic, beautiful and rhythmic.

This picture is the center of gravity of the spoken word, the center of gravity moves to the left, and the balance is in danger. Don't think that the center of gravity has to be in the middle of the word, but let it be a little bit higher, which is more flavorful. The posture of seeking balance in danger looks dynamic and more artistic in calligraphy.

The above have explained the 5 major steps of practicing hard-brush script. These steps are very suitable for beginners and also suitable for professional improvement.
