How to Write G in Cursive
The cursive G looks stylish and flowing, a graceful mix of curves and loops. The uppercase G is bold and fancy, while the lowercase g is smooth and round with a gentle tail. Once you know the strokes, this letter becomes one of the most elegant to write. Let’s learn how to write both big G and small g only!
Lowercase Cursive g
Start from the middle line and draw a small circle, just like a cursive a. Then bring the stroke down below the baseline and form a small loop on the left side.
End with a short curve going upward so it can connect easily to the next letter. This letter should look light and even. Keep the loop open and the circle neat for a clean look.
Regular cursive g practice helps build smooth hand control and balance.
Uppercase Cursive G
Start at the top line and make a large curved loop like a cursive C. Bring the line around to form a wide circle, then curve inward near the middle to create a soft tail. Add a small finishing stroke toward the right side to complete the G.
The uppercase cursive G may look fancy at first, but with slow tracing, it becomes simple. Keep the top and bottom curves balanced for a beautiful shape.
Using cursive G tracing pages makes this step much easier for beginners.
How to Connect Cursive G to Other Letters
Once you start writing the cursive g, the next step is learning how to join it with other letters. A smooth connection makes your writing neat and easy to read.
