Also the tip always splits into separate hairs after the first brush stroke.

You might twist a brush stroke too much, or you draw too many things with one stroke..

A brush should not twist much, a stroke tip is "Put on paper and move down" only. and for the split problem, I guess you need little more water in a brush.

Kazushimure-san, can you give me a tip on how to bend the brush that way? When I try it, it always "pops back". Does it depend on the brush or on the thickness of the ink? Thank you very much!

[kazushimura]

hello, Could you explain more about pops back? I imagine it is blurred too much. with this understanding, tip on this is (sorry if misunderstand :)

[kazushimura]

1. Hair and body of brush keeps straight like a horizon. Don't never bend a brush hair.

2. Brush stroke must draw vertically. just stroke down

3. Take light ink color(much water and little ink) first into a brush on the ink stone, then gradually more heavy black(increase the vokume of sumi ink).

[kazushimura]

then, imagine a brush is a stamp having gradation ink, and drawing is put stamp on paper.

You mihgt better "put a brush on cloth" in order to wipe water just before starting drawing. You need water in a brush, though.

is it helpful????
