Believe in Cursive

Start with the capital B: a tall downstroke, then two bowls drawn from the top, the lower one larger, finishing with a small loop that sits on the baseline. The B does not join: lift the pen after it and start the e with its own entry stroke. 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 l. The l is a tall loop that returns to the baseline; it runs from the baseline straight into the i. The i is a short upstroke to the midline and a downstroke back to the baseline; it runs from the baseline straight into the e. The e is written as before; it runs from the baseline straight into the v. The v is an upstroke to the midline, a rounded trough, and an upstroke that ends in a short exit at the midline; it hands over to the e with a short bridge at the midline, so the e starts high instead of from the line. The e is written as before, and its exit stroke finishes the word.

When the word is finished, go back and dot the i. A common slip in Believe is dropping the exit of v to the baseline, so the next letter starts too low and the pair reads as u.
