Joshua starts with the dramatic capital J and has the sh combination in the middle that involves a height change. The u-a ending is smooth and natural. Six letters with the descending J and tall h creating a varied profile.

These letter pairs need extra attention. Here's how to connect them smoothly.
The capital J drops below the baseline and curves back up to the right. Meet the o on that upswing.
The s curves to the right, then you push upward into the h's tall stem. Commit to that height change.
The u exits at the midline into the a. Both are round, baseline letters that connect naturally.
The sh connection is the hardest part. Practice going from the short s into the tall h.
The capital J's curve below the baseline should be generous, not cramped.
Close the final a completely for a polished ending.
