How to write brown in cursive
- Start with the b (undercurve, loop, slant, undercurve, checkstroke): a tall loop that comes back down to the baseline, then a small curve ending in a checkstroke at the midline.
- From the checkstroke of the b, write the r (undercurve, slide right, slant, undercurve): an undercurve, a short slide to the right at the midline, then a slant down.
- Swing up into the o (downcurve, undercurve, checkstroke): a closed oval that ends with a checkstroke at the midline.
- From the checkstroke of the o, write the w (undercurve, slant, undercurve, slant, undercurve, checkstroke): two undercurves like a u, plus a checkstroke at the midline.
- From the checkstroke of the w, write the n (overcurve, slant, overcurve, slant, undercurve): two rounded humps made with overcurves.
