These letter pairs need extra attention. Here's how to connect them smoothly.
The v bottoms out at the baseline and heads right. Curve up and into the e without hesitation.
After the capital O, push into the l's tall upstroke. Don't pause between them.
The e opens into the small cursive r. Keep the r as a tiny bump.
The l should be the tallest letter. It is the backbone of the name.

The capital O is just a round stroke. Simple, but make it smooth.
