Lesson 29

The Letter r

The letter r: 1 light up, as for an i, to slightly above the top line of the band; 2 a very shallow dip forwards and back up to touch the line; 3 dark, down as for an i; 4 a light tick away

But here we have the letter r. This is formed by making an upstroke, just as though we were making a letter i. We go slightly above the line, and then we come down a little bit and make a very shallow dip. A very shallow dip, and then we touch the line again, and then we come down as though we're making an i, and we tick away. And this is the letter r.
