How to write Victoria in cursive
- Start with a capital V (curve forward, slant, undercurve, overcurve). Start at the baseline. Curve forward to the topline and slant down to the baseline.
- Lift the pencil after the V, then write the i (undercurve, slant, undercurve; dot): a short undercurve and slant, with the dot added after the word is finished.
- Swing up into the c (downcurve, undercurve): a single curve that opens to the right, like a print c with an undercurve out.
- 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 o (downcurve, undercurve, checkstroke): a closed oval that ends with a checkstroke at the midline.
- From the checkstroke of the o, 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 a (downcurve, undercurve, slant, undercurve): a small oval closed at the midline, then a slant down and an undercurve out.
- After the word, dot the is, cross the t.
