How to write think in cursive

  1. 1Write t, h, i, n, 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

Keep i and n small — they live between the baseline and the midline. Let t, h, and k climb toward the topline.

How the letters in think connect

Follow the joins as you write think: t ends on an undercurve that carries into the undercurve opening of h; h 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 undercurve opening of k.
