I'm struggling with learning the cursive O. The red dot is my starting point. What am I doing wrong?
>>1558946>cursiveWhy would you start at the far right. The point is you can write a word without lifting your pen from the paper, and the right is where you'd start on the next letter.You start in the top middle, make counter clockwise circle, then go off to the right towards the next letter
>>1558946That's not where you start. The whole point of cursive is that you don't have to lift your pen.meaning you normally would come from another letter from mostly down to the left.Then you do the O as shown.
This feels like bait but I will give you the benefit of the doubt. Previous 2 anons are completely right. I think you misinterpreted the arrow on the template you're practicing on. The first stroke is indeed to the left but I'm the third person to tell you now so I won't tire you.My advice is to practice with a pencil first and then with a $10 fountain pen. Don't use ballpoint pens to practice, the script becomes so ugly it will demotivate you to continue. And make an ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo from the left margin to the right. If you've learnt the basic stroke there's no point any more in practicing the letter out of context. practice letters attached to other letters so you can actually make words without the letters being too much misaligned and different sizes.
