Digital macro pencil calligraphy

Edited 11 June 2006: English translation added below.


今天中午手有点痒，就选了几个简单的字练书法。谁知，简简单单的‘那’一个字，写了数百次还不是百分之百的满意。

对，没打错，真的是写了数百次。准确地说，写了一千一百次左右。听了也会吓死人。。。


印上方格的纸有20×30 个格子。


今天写了差不多 20×30×5.5 = 3300 个字了


‘那’字要写得美是超难的。要写得好看是蛮容易的，但如果想再进一步要写得美，那就不容易了。也可能是我用的工具不适合我的要求，应该用的是毛笔，不是铅笔。






我得买支毛笔了。。。

Feeling a little restless this afternoon, I picked a few simple characters to work on my non-existent calligraphy skills. Little did I know, even a simple character like那 can be hideously difficult to perfect. I wrote it hundreds of times, and I’m still not satisfied.

That’s right, hundreds of times. To be precise, it’s about 1100 times.


Each printed sheet has 20×30 squares.


I wrote approximately 20×30×5.5 = 3300 words today.

This 那 is surprisingly challenging to write beautifully. To write it legibly is easy, but to raise the standard from legible to beautiful, that is not easy. But then, I could be using the wrong tools- I should use a brush, not a pencil.






I should get a brush…
