How to Write Cursive Capital O
Stroke Instructions
Start near the top line. Make a counter-clockwise oval from the top line down to the baseline and back up. After closing the oval (or nearly closing it), add a small connecting stroke that goes up and to the right from the top of the oval to connect to the next letter.
Tips for Success
- The oval should be large, reaching from top line to baseline
- Keep it smooth and well-rounded
- The connecting stroke goes up from the top, similar to lowercase 'o'
- This is one of the simpler capital letters
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Not making the oval large enough
- Forgetting the upward connecting stroke
- The oval being lopsided
