Where the shape comes from
Two horizontal strokes, the upper one shorter. The top stroke is written first.
Write it
Watch the order first, then trace it with the guide, then write it from memory. The model comes back over your strokes so you can see where the shape drifted.
Press Watch to see the stroke order.
