Lowercase e in Cursive
Watch the lowercase e being written, then follow the numbered steps. Sweep up from the baseline into a loop, then come back down through the crossing point.
Step by step
- Start on the baseline and swing up to the right.
- Curve over the top of a small loop just under the midline and come down the left side.
- Round the bottom on the baseline and finish with an exit stroke up to the right.
Tip: Keep the loop open. If it closes up, the e looks like an i without a dot.
