These letter pairs need extra attention. Here's how to connect them smoothly.
The capital D's final stroke leads into the a. Keep the a small and round.
The n flows naturally into the i. They are nearly the same shape, just different heights.
The e opens into the l's upstroke. The height jump from e to l should be smooth.
The capital D curves back on itself. Practice it until the shape is consistent.
The l at the end should be the tallest letter. It gives the name a strong finish.
Dot the i after finishing all the letters.
