How to Write L in Cursive

Writing cursive L is simple and smooth. Follow the easy steps to form both uppercase and lowercase letters neatly.

Lowercase Cursive L

  1. Start at the bottom baseline. Draw a long, slanted stroke curving upward and to the right, all the way to the top headline.

  2. At the top, curve sharply to the left to form the head of the loop.

  3. Pull a straight, slanted line back down toward the bottom baseline.

  4. Your downward stroke should cross over your upward lead-in stroke right around the midline (middle line).

  5. As you reach the baseline, curve back up to the right to create the connector tail.

  6. Finish with a small upward flick to the right to connect to the next letter.

Quick Tip: Height: Ensure the l goes all the way to the top line. If it only goes to the midline, it will look like a lowercase e.

Width: Keep the loop narrow. If it’s too wide, the letter can become difficult to read in a fast-moving word.

The Slant: The "downstroke" is the most important part of the slant. Try to keep it consistent with your other tall letters.

Uppercase Cursive L

  1. Start just below the top headline. Curve upward to the right, then loop back to the left to create a small, rounded head./p>

  2. Pull your pen down in a graceful, slanted stroke toward the bottom baseline.

  3. As you reach the baseline, curve to the left to create a small, flat loop that sits right on the line.

  4. Bring the pen back across to the right, crossing over your vertical stem.

  5. Finish with a slight "wave" or a dip below the baseline, then flick it back up to connect to the next letter.

Quick Tip:
Stay Grounded: The bottom loop should be relatively flat and sit directly on the baseline so the letter doesn't look like it's floating.

The Slant: Like most cursive capitals, a slight rightward tilt makes the "L" look more elegant.

Connecting: The Uppercase L is a connecting letter. The final wave leads naturally into the first stroke of the next lowercase letter (like in the name "Lucy").
