Heart in Cursive

Start with the capital H: two tall downstrokes joined by a small loop at the middle, the second ending in a tail. Its tail runs straight into the e, so the pen stays down. The e is a small loop drawn from the baseline up through the midline and back down; it runs from the baseline straight into the a. The a is an oval closed at the top, then a downstroke on its right side that exits at the baseline; it runs from the baseline straight into the r. The r is a short upstroke to the midline, a tiny shoulder to the right, then a downstroke to the baseline; it runs from the baseline straight into the t. The t is a short upstroke and a downstroke back to the baseline, with its crossbar added later, and its exit stroke finishes the word.

When the word is finished, go back and cross the t. A common slip in Heart is skipping the shoulder of r, which turns it into a stray upstroke.
