.Today's kanji is "王 ou", meaning "king".
This kanji consists of simple strokes: three horizontal stokes and a vertical stroke.
Please refer to the past articles that show how to draw horizontal strokes and vertical strokes.
Shodo Online Lesson 1, “Start of Strokes” and “End of Strokes”
Shodo Online Lesson 2, “Horizontal Strokes” and “Vertical Strokes”
The stroke order is ①horizontal stroke, ②vertical stroke, ③horizontal stroke and ④horizontal stroke.
There are two things that you have to be careful about.
First, make sure the stroke ① and ② are almost the same length, and the stroke ④ is the longest.
The second thing is directions of the three horizontal strokes.
The stroke ① curves slightly upwards, the stroke ③ is flat, the stroke ④ curves slightly downwards.
This way, the character looks well-balanced.
This technique can be applied to other letters : 「三」、「玉」、「羊」
Please try writing these characters!
