How to write Quentin in cursive
- Start with a capital Q (curve up, curve down, double curve). Start at the midline on the left. Curve up over the topline and curve down the right side to the baseline.
- Lift the pencil after the Q, then write the u (undercurve, slant, undercurve, slant, undercurve): two undercurves side by side, the opposite motion of the n.
- Swing up into the e (undercurve, loop, slant, undercurve): a small loop between the baseline and the midline.
- Swing up into the n (overcurve, slant, overcurve, slant, undercurve): two rounded humps made with overcurves.
- Swing up into the t (undercurve, slant, undercurve; cross): a tall retraced undercurve and slant, shorter than the l, crossed after the word is written.
- 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 n (overcurve, slant, overcurve, slant, undercurve): two rounded humps made with overcurves.
- After the word, dot the i, cross the t.
