How to write gratitude in cursive

  1. 1Keep the pencil down through g-r-a-t-i-t-u-d-e, letting each exit stroke become the next letter's entry.
  2. 2Last, return to dot the i and cross the t (×2) — always after the body of the word is done.
Strokes: 4Pencil lifts: 3Letters: 9

Keep r, a, i, u, and e small — they live between the baseline and the midline. Let t and d climb toward the topline. g dips under the baseline before swinging back up.

How the letters in gratitude connect

7 of gratitude's 8 joins leave the letter on an undercurve. The exception is g-r, where g ends on an overcurve that carries into the undercurve opening of r.
