How to write Samuel in cursive
- Start with a capital S (undercurve, loop, 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 S, 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 m (overcurve, slant, overcurve, slant, overcurve, slant, undercurve): three humps made with overcurves, all the same height.
- Swing up into 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 l (undercurve, loop, slant, undercurve): one tall loop, the simplest tall letter.
