"The letter A, I think it's helpful sometimes to think about that "a" you've learned if you studied palmer method lettering, maybe you haven't but that was in vogue in the sixties when I was in grammer school so. This a resembles the lower case a, and if you haven't seen the series it would be, the series on the lower case letters, that would be a nice, a good idea to revisit that on how to vacater. Back so we start with the same curve and up and across and down. So very much like a grownup or exploded lower case a. There is another a, it's built with diagonal strokes but we won't be doing that one. Keep the oval structure of the o in mind as you make these letters, so keep that in mind. The capital A."
