How to write the name, step by step
- Write capital E and carry its ending stroke straight into the v.
- Join the rest of the letters without lifting your pencil: v, e, l, y and n.
- Watch the high join (ve): after b, o, v or w, the next letter starts at the midline, not the baseline.
- Let the y drop below the baseline and loop back up through it.

Tips for each letter
- E
- Making the middle loop too big, so E looks like a 3 backwards. Keep the loop small.
- v
- Dropping the ending to the baseline. v ends high, at the midline.
- e
- Making the loop too big, so e looks like l. The loop stays below the midline.
- l
- Making the loop so thin it disappears, so l looks like a tall i without a dot. Keep the loop open.
- y
- Leaving the loop open below the line. Bring the tail back up so it crosses at the baseline.
- n
- Pointy tops that make n look like u upside down. The humps are round on top.
