How to write Thomas in cursive
- Start with a capital T (curve right; double curve, curve up, slide right). Stroke 1: start at the topline and curve right to make the wavy top bar.
- Lift the pencil after the T, then write 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 o (downcurve, undercurve, checkstroke): a closed oval that ends with a checkstroke at the midline.
- From the checkstroke of the o, write the m (overcurve, slant, overcurve, slant, overcurve, slant, undercurve): three humps made with overcurves, all the same height.
- Swing up into 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 s (undercurve, curve down, undercurve): an undercurve to the midline, a curve back down that closes on the upstroke, then an undercurve out.
- After the word, finish the T with its top bar.
