アマゾンでペン習字の本を出版しました。
ペン習字の練習帳をアマゾンで出版開始しました。
今回はご報告です。
アマゾンでペン習字の本を２冊出版を開始しました。
１冊目：都道府県名の練習
https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B0CVV8FLKR
２冊目：ひらがなの練習
https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B0CVW2CL5T
実は、お手本のみで、解説や説明などは全く、１００％ないのでお勧めしにくい本ではあるのですが、手本はページいっぱいに配置していて、細かいところまでじっくり観察できる構成になっているので、それがこの本の強みになっていると自負しています。
自分では気がつかないところを教わることは重要ですが、技術習得の基本は、興味・関心を持って、じっくり観察して、創意工夫を凝らす中で涵養されるものだと考えています。
この意味で、私が学習者なら欲しいと思う形の練習帳を実現したのがこの２冊です。
ポイントの重複になりますが、最重要のポイントは次の２つです。
１ ページいっぱいの大きな手本
起筆から終筆、線と線の位置関係、空間の比率などじっくり観察しながら文字の形を把握することができます。
２ 潤沢な練習スペース
手本と別に練習する紙を準備して書くことも問題はないのですが、練習スペースがそばにあった方が、やはり書きやすいと思います。本に書き込むことに抵抗を感じる方もいるかもしれませんが、練習することに全振りする構成にすることで、気兼ねなく本に書き込めるものと思います。
読み放題のKindle Unlimitedなら無料でお読みいただけるのですが、塗り絵や手帳のような書き込む形式のみのものは、紙媒体でしか出版できないようで、都道府県版は申請が通りませんでした。
もしよろしかったら、お試しください。

iPad書写 北陸４県と京都・岐阜を書きました。
にほんブログ村
最近のデジタル機器の進化はすごいですね。iPadで十分筆圧をコントロールしながらペン習字ができます。
以下の写真はApple Pencilを使って、Procreateというアプリで書いたものです。
解像度が若干低いのでシャギーになっていますが、つけペンで書いたような線にも見えるような強弱が表現できています。
実際の書き味は、少々難しいところもありますが、iPadと紙を交互に書くことで、それぞれ練習スキルとして技量向上に役立つように感じます。

字を美しく書くのは難しいです。本当に。
私は極力全体に対しての個々のパーツの配置を等間隔になるように気を使って書いていますが、なかなか思うように点画を配置できずに残念な気持ちになることばかりです。
私が注意する点は以下の通りで、今回書いた２回分についてどのような意識で書いたか解説してみたいと思います。いろいろ考えながら書いていくので段階的に更新していくと思いますが、「書いている途中なんだな」と思ってください。
（１）起筆と線の方向性
主に縦画において、最初にペンを置いた際の打ち込み、起筆は強めに入れています。これによって全体の印象が締まってシャープな造形になるように思います。ただ、横画も入れてしまうとくどくなるので、横については伸びやかな線を心掛けています。
また、空間や位置関係が対称的になるような位置取りを意識しています。
線を引くことによって空間が分断されるわけですが、分断された部分部分の比率が均等、または比率が規則的になるようにすることを注意して線をどこに引くかを考えています。
次の漢字の「者」も同様に起筆とバランスを考えています。
横画はのびやかに、そして縦画は打ち込みをいれて起筆を強調、払いがあるところは他の画線に影響がないところはどこまでも滑らかに払う感じです。
点画のバランスは長さの対称性もさることながら、空間の対称性もできる限り考えるようにします。者については、右上と左下の空間で対称性を表現できるように思います。

Skipping essential strokes is another common mistake and can lead to misinterpretations of the intended character.
To avoid these mistakes, it's important to practice consistently and take the time to understand the stroke order and structure of each character. Using templates or guidelines can also be helpful in ensuring consistency and accuracy in stroke width and character proportion.
In the end, it's all about taking your time and being patient with yourself. With practice and dedication, you'll be able to write beautiful bimoji characters that will impress everyone who sees them.
