How to do calligraphy well

Artistic characters are used in many places, because they are different from the writing methods and usage occasions of conventional characters, so they have different production requirements, such as writing directly on paper, spraying them on the layout with spray paint and sticking them on the layout. Different applications have different production techniques.

Methods/steps

The first step in writing calligraphy is to make a grid, that is, draw the position and size of calligraphy and then write in it.

When writing calligraphy, we should pay attention to the standard writing method and the position layout of each stroke.

Position layout is the structure of words, and each stroke should be just right and put in the right position, otherwise the written words will not look good.

See the overall effect after writing. If it doesn't feel right, or it looks beautiful, you can use an eraser to remove this part and revise it again. Because beginners or not very skilled writers write in pencil first, it is easy to modify.

If you need to cut and paste artistic characters on the page, cut and paste every stroke of the whole character on the page.

How to cut calligraphy, we must master basic skills. First, straight strokes must be straight. With the aid of a ruler, cut along the ruler. Second, the strokes such as folding, skimming and pressing should be carved by hand, which must be smooth and smooth, and the transition is natural to ensure the natural transition of strokes.

Some strokes of the cut words are discontinuous and scattered. If you don't handle it, you can't paste it on the layout according to the original structure, which will make the words look bad. There is a good memory method: stick the non-stick strokes with tape or stickers in time, so that the characters become a whole, and each stroke is connected together, so that you are not afraid of not finding the structural layout of the characters. Tear off the tape (or post-it note) after pasting, so that the words pasted are still very beautiful.

Also note that in order to ensure good pasting, you can first paste it on a transparent post-it note, then aim at the position where you want to paste the words, then carefully press the engraved words on the layout after alignment, and then take off the transparent post-it note, so that the pasted words will not be skewed.

Matters needing attention

When writing fine arts characters, we must master the basic strokes and structural layout of the characters.

When carving, it should be horizontal and vertical, and the other strokes should be natural.
