How to Write H in Cursive
The cursive H is a smooth and connected letter with strong vertical strokes. Its uppercase version looks graceful and tall, while the lowercase one flows gently with loops and curves. Let’s learn how to write both uppercase and lowercase cursive letter H step by step!
Lowercase Cursive h
The lowercase cursive h begins with a gentle upward stroke from the bottom line to the top line. Next, curve slightly to the right and bring the line straight back down to the baseline. Without lifting your pencil, move upward halfway and create a small, rounded hump before bringing the stroke down again.
The lowercase cursive h looks quite similar to cursive “n,” but it’s taller and has a longer initial stroke. Keeping your lines smooth will make your writing look neat.
Uppercase Cursive H
The uppercase cursive H starts with a tall, elegant stroke that loops gracefully at the top. From there, the line flows downward to the baseline with a gentle curve, forming the first vertical stroke.
Lift your pencil slightly and draw another tall line on the right side, keeping it parallel to the first. Finally, add a small bridge-like curve in the middle to connect both tall lines, completing the letter.
The uppercase cursive H has a classic, stylish look often seen in names and signatures. Keep the middle curve smooth and balanced to maintain a neat, polished appearance.
How to Connect Cursive H to Other Letters
Learning to connect cursive letters makes your writing flow smoothly and beautifully. The letter H connects easily because of its short tail at the end.
How to Connect Lowercase Cursive h
The lowercase “h” ends with a small curve pointing right. This makes it perfect for joining to the next letter.
How it connects:
- h + a / o / e: The small tail flows directly into the next rounded letter.
- h + l / k / b: Lift slightly and move into the tall loop of the next letter.
- h + i / u / y: Keep the stroke light and move gently into the next line.
