Destiny in Cursive

Watch the name Destiny drawn in cursive stroke by stroke, trace it on the writing lines, and print a free practice worksheet.

Destiny takes 4 strokes to write in cursive — the capital D on its own, then e-s-t-i-n-y in one continuous stroke; then go back to dot the i and cross the t. The animation below draws it on the writing lines exactly the way children practice it in Scribble; trace it after, then take the worksheet to paper.

Size is what makes Destiny readable: full-height capital D, tall t, midline-height e, s, i, and n, and below-the-line y. Uneven heights are the most common mistake, so check each letter against its lines.

How the letters in Destiny connect

Follow the joins as you write Destiny: e ends on an undercurve that carries into the undercurve opening of s; s ends on an undercurve that carries into the undercurve opening of t; t ends on an undercurve that carries into the undercurve opening of i; i ends on an undercurve that carries into the overcurve opening of n; n ends on an undercurve that carries into the overcurve opening of y.
