62. When 'T' and 'R' are next to one another or have a vowel between them, the 'T' and 'R' strokes are blended together to give one long stroke. The sign is written in the 'T' position if it is the first stroke in a word.
63. Likewise, a lengthened 'D' stroke is used is used when 'D' and 'R' are written together or with a vowel between. This is written in the 'D' position if it is at the beginning of an outline.
64. 'TRN' and 'DRN' - the double strokes of 'TR' and 'DR' can be blended with 'N'.
65. 'LR' is generally written downwards, but can be written upwards in certain circumstances, to give a better outline.
66. 'MR' and 'WR' are also quite popular combinations to write.
67. 'WK' and 'WRK' blends - only the second stroke of the 'K' is shown as the first one is written backwards along 'W'. 'WR' and 'K' can be joined by using a long 'WR' stroke (becoming a large 'W') and adding 'K' in the same way.
68. It is easier to use 'C' than 'K' when joining 'R' or 'D' to 'WK' or 'WRK'.
69. Make sure to check that the size of all of the outlines are correct.

ReplyDeleteI think this is one of the last exercises that we had to do for the Teeline part of the course, wasn't it? I'm not sure how useful some of these were, such as changing C for K when actually, I think its easier to read when you detach the K so it doesn't blend too much together with the other ones. R blends proved to be time saving though, its just remembering when to use them!
