Chinese practice paper, free.
The grids we drew for our own studying, given away because it seemed daft not to. No sign-up, no email address, no watermark, no expiring links. Print as many sheets as you need.
Which paper should I use?
If you’re just starting, use the rice grid (米字格). The diagonals give you reference points for where each stroke begins and ends, which is exactly the thing beginners have no instinct for yet.
Once strokes land roughly where you intend, move to the field grid (田字格). Quartering the square is enough to keep your proportions honest without holding your hand. It’s the everyday workhorse.
The empty grid (空格) is for when you remove the stabilizers and go freestyle. The square alone, no guides. And essay paper (原稿纸), also called Chinese manuscript paper, is for writing at length: the standard 20x20, 400-character sheet, written in vertical columns, for knuckling down and doing your homework.
