This requires appropriate adjustment and modification based on the selected font to make the font more beautiful and neat. You can refer to calligraphy textbooks or calligraphers' works to observe the structure of glyphs and the use of strokes.

3. Description of strokes:

Calligraphy seals are based on strokes, so it is necessary to accurately describe the strokes of each word. According to the characteristics of calligraphy font, the outline, attention and direction of strokes are carved on the printed material in turn with a carving knife to ensure the correctness and aesthetics of strokes. Changes in thickness, length and straightness should be consistent with the selected font.

5. Finalization and scribing:

After the font, strokes and layout are determined, it is necessary to finalize the draft. You can practice the draft with a pencil or paper to ensure that the font and layout before scribing are in line with expectations. Before scribing, you can use an eraser to clean up the draft, and then use a carving knife to scribble according to the final font.
