David features two d's, which gives you a chance to practice consistency. The v in the middle is angular compared to the rounded letters around it. The capital D has a pleasing backward curve that opens the name well.

These letter pairs need extra attention. Here's how to connect them smoothly.
The capital D's curve returns to the baseline. Connect into the a from there.
The a exits at the midline into the v's angular downstroke. The shape change is abrupt but natural.
The v returns from the baseline heading right and up. Guide it into the i.
Make both d's the same height. The first is in the capital, but the second is lowercase.
The v creates a sharp angle amid rounder letters. Let that contrast show.
Dot the i after completing the name.
