These letter pairs need extra attention. Here's how to connect them smoothly.
The capital P's curved stroke returns to the baseline. Connect into the a from there, keeping it small.
The small cursive r peaks and drops to the baseline, then rises into the k's tall vertical stem. The k's angled strokes branch from mid-stem.
The e opens into the small cursive r to end the name. Keep the final r as a small bump.
The k is the most complex letter in this name. Practice its vertical stem and branching strokes.
The two r's should look identical. Consistency between them shows skill.
The er ending is common in English. Let it finish the name with a natural stroke.
