Beginners should first pay attention to their own hands when playing seal cutting, and don't carve with a carving knife. In addition to doing it yourself, you need to pay special attention to all kinds of novice seal cutting clothes and stone clothes on a treasure. These novice clothes and stone clothes are not bad If you just want to experience this kind of seal cutting, these sets are a good choice, relatively cheap and complete. But if you want to play seriously, these suits are too tasteless.

At the bottom of the answer, I recommended more than 100 seal cutting books. You can have a look. These seal cutting books can be found in the lower right corner of the seal cutting map above.

You just started to learn seal cutting, and you need a good knife. Knives are divided into tungsten steel and Bai Gang. Tungsten steel knives are hard and not easy to wear, but they are also brittle. Some bumps may cause the blade to break, and the blade is too hard to grind after breaking. White steel knives are soft and easy to wear, but they have good toughness, and most of them are caused by bumps. White steel knives are easy to sharpen because they are soft. Also, white steel knives are generally cheaper than tungsten steel knives. I have more contact with tungsten steel knives and less contact with white steel knives, so I can only recommend tungsten steel knives. Tungsten steel knife, choose the most common permanent knife, not so fancy. Generally, you can buy an 8 mm or 6 mm one, or you can match a 3 mm or 2 mm one to clean the bottom or carve some exquisite calligraphy. Generally, two knives are seventy yuan at most. If we don't get rid of them, it won't be a problem for several years.

If you are a stone, buy Qingtian stone or Redstone. I recommend Qingtian stone because it is cheap and easy to carve. The store owner went to Taobao to search for "Qingtian Jinshifang" (I didn't take the money). I often buy stones in this shop, which are cheap and of good quality.

Then there is inkpad. If you want inkpad, you can buy a cheap one first, and "two yuan" will do. Cheap and affordable (I didn't take the money either). You can buy some good ones in the future, such as the inkpad of Shanghai Xiling.

Finally, the printed spectrum, which is a key point. Just buy a Chinese printed spectrum at first, and you can buy it for ten or twenty dollars on Taobao. Chinese and Hindi need to be introduced, and they also need to be studied in depth later. The famous Zhejiang School, Shanghai School, Huizhou School and Beijing School are all inseparable from Han and India.

Finally, remember to write more seal script, after all, "printing comes from books", and writing more seal script plays a great role in the typesetting and use of seal script.

Finally, there are some miscellaneous things, such as Shi Lian paper (for stamping), transfer paper (for transferring the stamp to the stone), bristle brush (for extending the border), small pen, ink and so on.

It is estimated that it will take about one or two hundred to buy tools at the beginning, with more investment in the early stage and absolutely less in the later stage. Be careful, don't buy all kinds of novice suits on Taobao, and buy all tools separately. (I didn't take money for propaganda, nor did I take money to be a water army)

The above is my personal opinion, I hope it will help.

Pay attention to the lower right corner of the picture. All the seal cutting books and materials come from here.
