- Forming the Capital K:
- Start with a slanted stroke downward from the top-left to the bottom-right.
- At the midline, form an outward loop or curve to the right.
- After the curve, bring the stroke downward to the baseline.
- Lift the pen after completing the K as it stands independently.
- Demonstrating Connections (if necessary):
