1. Start with a curved line:
* Begin at the top of the "k" and curve down, similar to the beginning of a lowercase "l".
2. Make a diagonal stroke:
* From the bottom of the curve, draw a diagonal line upward and to the right. This line should be slightly angled, not perfectly vertical.
3. Add the loop:
* Now, from the top of the diagonal line, loop back down to the right, creating a closed loop.
4. Finish the tail:
* From the loop, draw a short, curved line to the right and down. This will form the tail of the "k".
Here's a visual breakdown:
* Step 1: _ (curved line)
* Step 2: _| (diagonal line)
* Step 3: _|_ (loop)
* Step 4: _|_~ (tail)
Tips:
* Pressure: Apply more pressure at the beginning of the curved line and the top of the loop for a more elegant look.
* Speed: Don't rush the stroke; practice making it smoothly.
* Size: Adjust the size of the "k" based on the context of your writing.
Practice makes perfect! Keep practicing until you feel comfortable writing the cursive "k". You can use lined paper or download cursive writing worksheets online to help you.
