Learn capital H and lowercase h in cursive. Capital H has two slanted stems joined by a looping crossbar, and lowercase h is a tall loop followed by a single hump.
These steps follow the traditional school letters shown above. Other handwriting systems may form H differently, so stay consistent with the style you are learning.
Capital H in cursive
Begin with a small hook at the top left and pull the first stem down to the baseline.
Draw the second stem from the top line down to the baseline, parallel to the first.
Loop across both stems at the midline to tie them together.
Lowercase h in cursive
Sweep up from the baseline into a narrow loop that reaches the top line.
Come straight down to the baseline, then retrace up to about the midline.
Round over into one hump, come down to the baseline, and curve into the exit.
Common mistakes with cursive H
Making the capital stems lean at different angles, which makes H look unbalanced.
Adding a second hump, which makes lowercase h look like an l followed by n.
Closing the bottom of the hump, which can make h read as b.
