Basic stroke series (Part 7 of 8): DESCENDING STEM LOOP

~ ~ ~

DESCRIPTION: Learn about the descending stem loop and how to create it. Start with full pressure at the waistline. Create a thick downstroke that goes past the baseline. Before you reach the descender (or at about halfway through the descending space), begin to transition into a thin stroke, or hairline. While maintaining a thin stroke, curve the stroke counter clockwise and cross the stem before you reach the baseline. Finish with a thin stroke at the waistline.
