How to Write a Cursive Capital R β€” Step by Step

1Start at the baseline. Pull your pen upward in a curved stroke to the top line.
2From the top, curve right and downward in a hump shape, returning to the midline.
3From the midline, extend a diagonal leg downward to the right, reaching the baseline.
4Finish with a small exit stroke at the baseline flowing naturally to the right.

πŸ’‘ Key tip: The leg of the cursive capital R is what distinguishes it β€” make it sweep outward confidently to the right. A timid or small leg makes the R look unfinished.

How to Write a Lowercase Cursive r β€” Step by Step

1Begin at the baseline. Curve upward with a small entry stroke.
2Make a short upstroke to the midline.
3At the midline, make a small hump to the right β€” the distinctive feature of lowercase cursive r.
4Bring your pen back down and exit with a stroke flowing right at the baseline.

πŸ’‘ Key tip: The lowercase cursive r is tricky because its hump is small and can look like an n if made too large. Keep the hump small and rounded β€” it should only go slightly above the main stroke.

The cursive capital R has a tall vertical stroke, a rounded hump at the top that forms the bowl, and a diagonal leg that sweeps outward and downward to the right. The lowercase cursive r is simpler β€” a short stroke with a small rounded hump at the top and a connecting exit stroke.
