How to Write Cursive Capital V
Stroke Instructions
Start near the top line. Make a curved downward stroke to the baseline, forming the left side of the V. From the bottom point, angle back up to the top line on the right side. The bottom should be pointed. Add an exit stroke from the top right that connects to the next letter.
Tips for Success
- The point at the bottom should be sharp, not rounded
- Both sides should reach the top line
- The strokes can have a slight curve for elegance
- The exit stroke from the right side connects to the next letter
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Rounding the bottom point
- The sides being different angles or heights
- Not making it large enough to fill the full height
