How to Write a Cursive Capital I โ€” Step by Step

1Begin at the baseline. Draw a small loop or curve up and to the right.
2Pull your pen upward in a tall straight stroke to the top line.
3At the top, curve your pen to the right in a small decorative loop or flourish.
4Finish with a smooth exit stroke at the baseline flowing to the right.

๐Ÿ’ก Key tip: The cursive capital I varies more than almost any other letter between handwriting styles. Some styles use a tall vertical with top and bottom serifs, while others use elaborate loops. Choose a style and practice it consistently.

How to Write a Lowercase Cursive i โ€” Step by Step

1Start at the baseline. Curve upward to the midline.
2Draw a straight downstroke back to the baseline.
3Add a dot directly above the letter between the midline and top line.
4Finish with a small exit stroke to the right.

๐Ÿ’ก Key tip: The lowercase cursive i must always have a dot placed directly above the letter. Forgetting the dot is the most common mistake. The body of the lowercase i sits between the baseline and midline.
