How to write Gabriel in cursive
- Start with a capital G (undercurve, loop, curve forward, double curve, curve up, curve right). Start at the baseline. Make an undercurve up to the topline and a loop back to the left.
- Lift the pencil after the G, then write the a (downcurve, undercurve, slant, undercurve): a small oval closed at the midline, then a slant down and an undercurve out.
- Swing up into 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 i (undercurve, slant, undercurve; dot): a short undercurve and slant, with the dot added after the word is finished.
- Swing up into the e (undercurve, loop, slant, undercurve): a small loop between the baseline and the midline.
- Swing up into the l (undercurve, loop, slant, undercurve): one tall loop, the simplest tall letter.
- After the word, dot the i.
