Calligraphy Italics: Capital Letter U

Video Transcript

"Capital U is another letter which exactly mimics the lower case letter, so should be somewhat familiar and easy to draw. So, two strokes, a couple of points with the U. You want to keep this line straight until the last bit. The second stroke is going to intersect at a place where it's parallel of course, but we also preserve that stem stroke, that lifting stroke. So the U has two parallel strokes for the most part, not counting the bowl just like the lowercase. So here's a lower case U. So if you keep the proportions of the U, keep in mind that's it's not as wide as it is tall. So we're going to be slightly narrower, so it would fit into a parallelogram or a rectangle with a slight forward slant. And you'll have it."
