Cursive K
k is one continuous stroke from stem to leg, and the moment it is drawn in pieces the letter falls apart. A cursive k is a tall letter, and it hands over to the next letter low.
This is the same renderer the generator uses. Open it with k already filled in to change size, rows and guides, then print.
How to write a cursive k
- Start on the baseline, sweep up to the top line and retrace straight down to the baseline.
- Retrace to the midline, then make a small inward loop that closes at the waist.
- Kick out to the right from that loop and exit low.
A k sits in the tall zone. Capital K is a tall stem with the arm and leg meeting it at the midline.
Joining k to the next letter
k exits at the baseline like h, so joins are short. ka, ke, ck.
Where it usually goes wrong
The arm and the leg are drawn separately, which leaves the letter in pieces. The whole letter is one continuous stroke until the final exit.
Words to practise after the letter
Once the single letter holds its shape, put it into short words where it appears once: like, back, keep. Type any of them into the generator above and it will lay out eight ruled rows of tracing for you.
