Strokes: 2Pencil lifts: 1Letters: 7

Size is what makes love you readable: tall l, midline-height o, v, e, and u, and below-the-line y. Uneven heights are the most common mistake, so check each letter against its lines.

How the letters in love you connect

Follow the joins as you write love you: l ends on an undercurve that carries into the downcurve opening of o; o ends on a checkstroke that carries into the overcurve opening of v; v ends on a checkstroke that carries into the undercurve opening of e; y ends on an overcurve that carries into the downcurve opening of o; o ends on a checkstroke that carries into the undercurve opening of u.
