How to write stick in cursive

  1. 1Write s, t, i, c, k as one continuous stroke, joining each letter to the next without lifting the pencil.
  2. 2Go back and dot the i and cross the t.
Strokes: 3Pencil lifts: 2Letters: 5

t and k are tall letters that reach toward the topline. s, i, and c stay between the baseline and the midline.

How the letters in stick connect

Follow the joins as you write stick: 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 downcurve opening of c; c ends on an undercurve that carries into the undercurve opening of k.
