How to write white in cursive

  1. 1Keep the pencil down through w-h-i-t-e, letting each exit stroke become the next letter's entry.
  2. 2Last, return to dot the i and cross the t — always after the body of the word is done.
Strokes: 3Pencil lifts: 2Letters: 5

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

How the letters in white connect

3 of white's 4 joins leave the letter on an undercurve. The exception is w-h, where w ends on a checkstroke that carries into the undercurve opening of h.
