How to write strength in cursive

  1. 1Keep the pencil down through s-t-r-e-n-g-t-h, letting each exit stroke become the next letter's entry.
  2. 2Last, return to cross the t (×2) — always after the body of the word is done.
Strokes: 3Pencil lifts: 2Letters: 8

Keep s, r, e, and n small — they live between the baseline and the midline. Let t and h climb toward the topline. g dips under the baseline before swinging back up.

How the letters in strength connect

6 of strength's 7 joins leave the letter on an undercurve. The exception is g-t, where g ends on an overcurve that carries into the undercurve opening of t.
