Capital G in Cursive
Watch the capital g being written, then follow the numbered steps. Sweep up into a large loop and come back down through it.
Step by step
- Start on the baseline and sweep up to the right into a tall loop.
- Swing out to the right and pull a slanted stroke down to the baseline.
- Curve back to the left, then cross the letter with a long stroke to the right.
Tip: The traditional G looks unlike the printed letter. Practice the top loop and the down stroke as two moves.
How capital G joins
