These letter pairs need extra attention. Here's how to connect them smoothly.
The c ends at the midline. Push up into the h's tall stem from there.
The capital M finishes at the baseline. Rise into the i and dot it later.
The a opens into the e. Both are round, similar-height letters that connect naturally.
The ch connection is the toughest part. Practice c-to-h transitions separately.
The capital M should have three even peaks. Don't let any sag.
Dot the i after writing the full name.
