How to write look in cursive
- Start with the l (undercurve, loop, slant, undercurve): one tall loop, the simplest tall letter.
- 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 o (downcurve, undercurve, checkstroke): a closed oval that ends with a checkstroke at the midline.
- From the checkstroke of the o, write the k (undercurve, loop, slant, overcurve, loop, curve right, undercurve): a tall loop like an l, then a small loop at the midline and a kick-out stroke.
How the letters in look connect
- lo l to o: an undercurve join. The exit stroke of the l swings up into the o.
- oo o to o: a checkstroke join. The o ends at the midline, so the o starts from the top instead of from the baseline.
- ok o to k: a checkstroke join. The o ends at the midline, so the k starts from the top instead of from the baseline.
