How to Write E in Cursive
Writing cursive E is simple and fun! Follow smooth, flowing strokes to form both uppercase and lowercase letters neatly.
Lowercase Cursive E
-
Place your pen on the bottom baseline. Draw a diagonal line curving gently upward and forward (to the right).
-
As you reach the midline (the halfway point), begin to curve your pen toward the left, forming the top of the loop.
-
Continue the curve downward. Your pen should cross over the first line you drew just slightly above the bottom baseline.
-
Gently touch the bottom baseline with a rounded curve to finish the "belly" of the letter.
-
Finish by sweeping the pen back up toward the midline. This "tail" is essential for joining the e to the next letter in a word.
The Eye: Ensure there is a small "eye" (open space) in the center of the loop so it doesn't look like a single solid line.
Uppercase Cursive E
-
Start just below the top headline. Curve up to touch the line, then swing around to the left and back toward the middle (midline).
-
As you reach the midline, make a small, tight loop that wraps around the center point.
-
From that middle loop, swing back out to the left and curve down to touch the bottom baseline.
-
Curve back up slightly from the baseline and flick to the right.
Balance: The top loop is usually slightly smaller than the bottom loop to give the letter a stable, grounded look.
The "3" Trick: If you are struggling, try drawing a large, fancy number 3 backwards.
Connecting: Unlike the capital D, the capital E is a "connecting" capital; the tail at the end is designed to lead directly into the next lowercase letter.
