5 points for writing beautiful handwriting
Here are 5 points to help you write beautiful handwriting!
There are five points below.
①Hold the pen correctly
②Write in the correct stroke order
③ Carefully adjust the stop, spring, and edge
④Write so that the spacing between lines is equal
⑤Write upwards to the right
It is not easy to change the way you write letters overnight.
There is no need to be aware of all the methods introduced here, so please try the ones that you feel are easy to improve.
①Hold the pen correctly
People who are worried about poor handwriting are often holding the pen incorrectly, so simply improving the way you hold the pen may make it easier to write neatly.
The correct way to hold a pen is to use your thumb, index finger, and middle finger.
It is also important not to use too much force.
②Write in the correct stroke order
The stroke order of characters is the ``order for quickly and neatly writing'' that has been developed through trial and error by our predecessors over a long period of history.
Therefore, in order to write beautiful handwriting, it is important to write the characters in the correct stroke order.
If you're not sure if the stroke order is correct, it's a good idea to reconsider it once.
③ Carefully adjust the stop, spring, and edge
I feel that this is especially important from my experience as a calligrapher, but Japanese has a history of originally being written with a brush, so it is important to be aware of "stop", "bane", and "harai". You can get close to beautiful handwriting just by doing this.
④Write so that the spacing between lines is equal
If the lines are lined up parallel to each other, such as for "eyes" or "rivers," make sure to draw them so that they are evenly spaced.
If the spacing between the lines is equal, the handwriting will give a well-balanced impression.
⑤Write upwards to the right
By aligning all the horizontal lines slightly upward to the right (approximately 6 degrees), you can write well-balanced characters.
On the other hand, be careful not to try to align it horizontally, as this can easily lead to poor balance.
How to write your name neatly
So far, we have introduced ways to write neatly, but since it takes time to correct the handwriting habits that have been developed up until now, many people are unable to continue practicing their handwriting and end up giving up. is.
As a calligrapher who is a professional at writing beautiful handwriting, what I would definitely recommend to such people is to ``first learn how to write your own name neatly and stylishly.''
There are four reasons why I recommend learning to write your name neatly:
✔︎When I write letters, I overwhelmingly write my name.
→There are overwhelmingly many opportunities to write your name, such as signing contracts and approval documents, checking in to hotels, making credit card payments, and receiving luggage.
✔︎ Much easier than making all the letters neat
→This goes without saying, but you will be able to write beautiful handwriting much easier if you focus on your name and practice instead of practicing all the characters.
If you want to make all the characters beautiful, there are 92 characters each in hiragana and katakana, and when it comes to kanji, there are over 2,000 commonly used kanji.
Of course, there are elements that are common to multiple kanji characters, such as radicals and stroke order, but even so, the amount of practice required can vary considerably.
✔︎I feel confident when I can write my name neatly and stylishly.
→People who used to think that their handwriting is dirty every time they write will now think that their handwriting is beautiful and cool.
Some people may think it's just a name, but I think having these small successes over and over again will lead to confidence.
✔︎If you can write a cool name, people around you will praise you.
→Personally, this is the biggest reason.
It's nice to know that just by writing a cool name, you'll have more chances to get compliments.
If you compare someone who writes their name in ungainly handwriting and someone who writes their name in sophisticated and clean handwriting, the latter will give the impression that they are a ``neat person.''
As you can see, there are many happy changes when you learn to write your name neatly and neatly.
If you have read the article so far and thought, ``I want to be able to write my name in a cool way!'', I have a suggestion.
It's good to just practice your name, but why not take this opportunity to create your own signature?
In fact, the ``overwhelmingly sophisticated way to write handwriting'' that I mentioned at the beginning is to make your own signature.
By making a signature, you can go one step higher than someone who simply writes their name in neat handwriting.
