1. a pretty good K, look at the shape of the white triangles formed by the legs. 2. is a sad K because the legs have curve to them. you can curve later on, but for now, keep every stroke as straight as possible. 3. ok, you can curve right now, but keep that curve really tight and just at the mid-point of the K's legs. if you start at the top, you can pull in towards the center. as you hit the first stroke, rather than stopping, making a point and then angling back out, you may curve it to just *kiss* the straight stroke.
4 and 5 show that the connection of the K may be high or low. it does not have to be exactly in the center. but the two limbs must be straight. that top limb must be an arm and the bottom one must be a leg.
6 and 7 show the two ways to make the N. on the first one, you keep the nib very flat. look at the graph paper. on 7, the nib was sitting at an angle when it started and it ended at an angle. 6 is a tidy version, 7 is for later on when you can relax the rules.
that is enough for today. i will discuss ISJ tomorrow.
