How to write cheerful in cursive
- Start with the c (downcurve, undercurve): a single curve that opens to the right, like a print c with an undercurve out.
- Swing up into the h (undercurve, loop, slant, overcurve, slant, undercurve): a tall loop followed by a hump, like an l and an n joined together.
- Swing up into the e (undercurve, loop, slant, undercurve): a small loop between the baseline and the midline.
- Swing up into the e (undercurve, loop, slant, undercurve): a small loop between the baseline and the midline.
- Swing up into 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 f (undercurve, loop, slant, loop, undercurve): the only lowercase letter that uses the full range, with a loop above the midline and a loop below the baseline.
- Swing up into the u (undercurve, slant, undercurve, slant, undercurve): two undercurves side by side, the opposite motion of the n.
