Look — Calligraphy Copybook
Type a phrase. Get a printable practice sheet — model line on top, trace-and-fill cells below.
A craft template, not a finished piece. Pick a script — kaishu (楷书), xingshu (行书), caoshu (草书), Western italic, Japanese kana — type a phrase, pick a grid (米字格 with crosshair guides, 田字格 with center cross, lined Western paper, dotted), pick a paper tone, and the model produces a printable sheet: one line of solid model characters at the top, multiple rows of trace-and-fill (空心字 / hollow-stroke) cells below for practice. Print, trace, fill.
What you bring
- A script style — kaishu (regular Chinese, beginner), xingshu (running Chinese), caoshu (cursive Chinese, advanced), Western italic, Japanese kana. Determines the brush register, stroke construction, and lineage.
- A phrase — what you want to practice: 宁静致远, ありがとう, Carpe Diem, Per Aspera Ad Astra.
- A grid style — 米字格 (crosshair + diagonals, classic Chinese), 田字格 (center cross, kids' Chinese), lined (Western paper), dotted (modern dot grid).
- A paper tone — rice cream, silk white, pale tea, bamboo green.
What you get back
A printable copybook page with two zones: a single horizontal line of solid model characters at the top (the reference characters in your chosen script), and multiple rows of trace-and-fill outline versions below (the practice cells). Faint grid lines on every cell. No filled colour anywhere except in the model line. Crisp ink-black on the chosen paper tone, ready to print on A4 or Letter and trace by hand.
A practice sheet, not a finished piece
The prompt explicitly forbids a finished signed-and-sealed (落款 / 印章) calligraphy work — the output is intentionally a craft template. No coloured inks, no decorative seals, no finished poster typography. Five script registers stay disciplined per their lineage — a kaishu sheet won't drift into running ligatures, a Western-italic sheet won't pick up Chinese characters, a kana sheet stays in hiragana / katakana.
Cost & timing
8 credits per run. Roughly 60 seconds. With your 20 signup credits you get two before topping up.
Inspired by @MrLarus on X — the seed prompt "生成一张【字体】书法临摹字帖" framing a calligraphy practice sheet around a chosen script. The five-script × four-grid × four-paper enforcement, two-zone model-line + trace-and-fill layout, slot scaffolding, and per-enum FORBIDDEN-cue blocks (no finished pieces, no script bleed, no decorative seals) are FluxGen's.
