Because I like calligraphy
 |
Description
Book Introduction
Writing has the power to heal the heart!
This is an era where you can create the illustrations you want with AI without even holding a pen and drawing.
Aside from signing documents, we rarely have a specific need to handwrite in our daily lives. Why do so many people still learn and enjoy handwriting? The answer lies in the time spent focusing solely on writing, rather than the desire to show off your beautiful handwriting to others.
When you immerse yourself in writing, complicated thoughts subside and a moment of comfort comes.
Just as organizing and tidying a dirty house not only makes the house cleaner, but also improves the quality of your life, learning calligraphy is like acquiring a cheat key to life that will organize your mind and elevate your quality of life.

Into the book
Calligraphy is a form of writing that is suitable for communicating with others and expressing emotions because it possesses both commercial and artistic qualities.
Only by making good use of these two characteristics can you write good calligraphy.
Beginners often mistake calligraphy for 'writing your own handwriting'.
Of course, creating your own font is something that a calligrapher must do.
But before you can create your own handwriting, you need to learn how to communicate with others.
Insisting on using only one's own handwriting without empathizing with others is a misunderstanding and failure to properly utilize calligraphy, the art of 'emotional communication.'
You must first establish a common ground with others to communicate with them, and then study calligraphy that allows you to express your own individuality.
--- p.12
If you create various consonant shapes in advance, it will be easier to add variation when writing calligraphy.
Let's create various consonant shapes by modifying the font we learned earlier.
Among them, we will learn how to transform letters into ㄹ, ㅊ, and ㅎ, which can be considered representative consonants of the Korean alphabet.
If you learn how to transform these consonants in calligraphy, you can easily transform the remaining consonants.
--- p.46
From two letters onwards, you need to pay attention to the letter size and spacing (the space between letters).
Depending on how much space you use between letters, your concept can look better or worse.
It must be well conceived, taking into account both readability and attention.
By changing the font size appropriately, you can write letters that feel alive and rhythmic.
--- p.65
When designing calligraphy, the first line is very important.
Because depending on how you decide on the font size of the first line, you'll end up with a completely different sized calligraphy.
There is no right answer to how to change the font size.
You just need to follow the rule of 'making the front and back letters different sizes'.
--- p.80
Because Hangul is a composite alphabet, simply tilting the letters to the right does not correct the center of gravity.
The center of gravity must be shifted as the tilt progresses.
If the center of gravity is well aligned, the writing will feel stable.
Here we will learn how to use it without collapsing the center of gravity.
Practice balancing your words by writing them in different ways.
--- p.136
When you write with a cotton swab, it feels fluffy.
If you want to make it feel a little more fluffy, you can tear off the cotton swab and fluff it up.
You can achieve a similar effect to a cotton swab by using cotton.
However, cotton swabs have a stick, so they can be used to write more conveniently than cotton.
Only by making good use of these two characteristics can you write good calligraphy.

Publisher's Review
A proper textbook to accompany you on your journey to perfecting beautiful handwriting.
“Because I Love Calligraphy” is a beginner’s guidebook that explains the basics of calligraphy in an easy-to-understand way.
The structure, which begins with the most basic aspects of calligraphy, such as selecting and managing the four tools of the pen, holding the brush, and drawing strokes, expands to practicing single letters, writing words, forming sentences, expressing formative calligraphy, writing calligraphy with various tools, and drawing ink paintings and sumi-e illustrations, is faithful to the right path.
Thanks to this structure, the previous work, 『Everyday Calligraphy』, was adopted as a textbook for many calligraphy classes and received consistent love.
This renewed edition of the book has been designed to meet the needs of today's readers and boldly removes outdated content to enhance practicality.
A reliable guide for beginners exploring calligraphy.
Are you struggling with handwriting that hasn't improved despite practicing with books and even taking online classes? It's because you lack the "basics."
You will never improve your skills by simply copying well-written letters without a full understanding of the Korean alphabet.
You can write pretty handwriting with just a little effort.
But that's all.
‘Real’ writing is born from the ‘basics’.
So, calligraphy instructors go around and around and end up going to calligraphy classes.
The author, who has been writing in ink for over 30 years, emphasizes that you need to have the basics to create your own handwriting, and generously shares all the know-how he has acquired over the years.
With the know-how built on the 'basics' that I have never neglected while teaching countless students at schools and centers and serving as a judge for various calligraphy competitions, you will be able to complete your own solid handwriting.
Write from the beginning of the story
You need to know and use the structure of consonants and vowels to write properly.
After learning the consonants and vowels in the basic square and feminine scripts of Hangul, you will be able to write any word with confidence.
Transforming text in various ways
ㄹ, ㅊ, ㅎ are representative Korean consonants that have the structure of all consonants.
Learn in detail how to transform spaces, angles, points, diagonals, etc. using ㄹ, ㅊ, and ㅎ.
Once you know how to transform, you can easily transform the remaining consonants and create your own font based on them.
Writing with various concepts
After thinking about the phrase you want to write in calligraphy, you need to decide on a concept.
Once you decide whether to go for softness or a strong feel, you can write letters with the concept you want.
Writing with pictures
You can write pictorial letters by changing the shapes of consonants and vowels.
After learning various methods, such as conjuring up images of words and expressing stereotypes in pictures, you can complete your own unique calligraphy.
Writing with various tools such as pencils, mechanical pencils, wooden chopsticks, and cotton swabs
Calligraphy isn't just about using a brush.
You can use calligraphy with writing instruments such as pencils, mechanical pencils, and colored pencils, as well as everyday tools such as wooden chopsticks and cotton swabs.
If you follow the examples that well reflect the characteristics of each tool, you will be able to write calligraphy well with any tool.
Ink smearing and ink drawing that goes well with calligraphy
You can make your calligraphy stand out by using ink smears and ink drawings.
It explains in detail how to create a blur effect with various colors, and how to draw pencils/wings/watermelon/strawberries/bouquets, etc. in ink.
