Lishu originated in the Qin Dynasty and was compiled by Cheng Miao. It reached its peak in the Eastern Han Dynasty, which had a great influence on later calligraphy. Calligraphy is called "Tang Kai of Han Li".
Compared with Wei Bei, Tang Kai, Shu Hang and cursive script, official script is a relatively easy and quick font.
I have always liked official script. Writing official script with hard pen can also write the taste of official script.
The word "vernal equinox" in the picture below was written by me with a gel pen. In fact, it is easy to write the feeling of official script by applying the brush technique to hard pen writing.
I share two methods about how to practice hard-pen official script.
Practice calligraphy first, then hard pen.
By learning brush calligraphy, you will have a deeper knowledge and understanding of brushwork, radicals, structure, composition and other knowledge, and your grasp of calligraphy will be more accurate. If you continue to learn like this, you will feel that you just changed a pen, but what you wrote is also an official script, and the effect will be better.
Second, practice hard-pen official script directly.
It is recommended to buy hard-pen official script copybooks to learn. Because if you use the tablet copybook, many words will be incomplete and unclear, which will affect the learning efficiency, and many of them are enlarged copies, which are not suitable for copying with a pen.
It is recommended to buy "Cao Quanbei Pen Copy Book", which also contains Lu Zhongnan's demonstration video! Learn from famous artists, and the effect will be better!
