How to Write Cursive Capital E
Stroke Instructions
Start near the midline. Make a loop that goes up to the top line and curves to the left, then sweep down and make a large open curve to the baseline. The motion is like a backward 'C' with a loop. End with an exit stroke that connects to the right.
Tips for Success
- The loop at the top is the defining feature
- The main body is one smooth, flowing curve
- Keep the opening facing to the right for connection
- This letter has an elegant, flowing feel
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Making the loop too tight or too loose
- Not maintaining a smooth curve throughout
- The exit stroke being in the wrong position
