Who is the teacher?
Teacher Pang Zhonghua is a famous Chinese hard pen calligrapher who specializes in teaching people how to write beautifully with a pen.
What does this lesson cover?
This is the fourth lesson in regular script basics, focusing on three ways to write dots: the slanted dot, the elongated slanted dot, and the left-right dot pair. Mastering these will make your characters look more lively.
What will you learn in detail?
· Slanted Dot (Resembles a small water droplet)
· How to write it: Start the stroke lightly in the air, move right-downward with increasing pressure, and finish with a slight pause to create a rounded shape.
· Where it’s used: Commonly at the top or middle of a character
· Note: Avoid making it too flat or too pointed.
· Elongated Slanted Dot ( it’s a stretched dot)
· How to write it: The technique is similar to the slanted dot, but the stroke is longer, finishing with a light pause.
· Where it’s used: Often at the bottom or right side of a character, sometimes replacing a right-falling stroke,
· Note: Avoid dragging the stroke out too much.
· Left-Right Dot Pair (Two dots that appear together)
· How to write them: The left dot slants down-left, the right dot slants down-right. Typically, the left dot is slightly lower and the right one slightly higher, and they should be symmetrical in size, as if echoing each other.
· Note: The two dots should feel connected; don’t space them too far apart or place them at uneven heights.
· Core Rules
· Dots should start lightly and swiftly and finish steadily.
· If a character has multiple dots, their directions should vary, with clear primary and secondary dots.
Why is this lesson helpful?
· Easy to understand: Uses vivid analogies like “small water droplets”.
· Very practical: Each dot type comes with common example characters for immediate practice.
· Clear on details: Focuses on how to make multiple dots in a character echo each other, solving the problem of loose, disjointed writing.
· Builds naturally: Connects with previously learned horizontal, vertical, left-falling, and right-falling strokes, preparing you for more complex characters.
