Fluid vs. Fragmented. Continuous vs. Broken. Two different strokes achieving similar results. Is this terminology contrived to help you better understand these methods? Absolutely. I'll even admit to making these words work in conjunction with Crayligraphy because I wanted something original for you to reference—much like Crayligraphy itself.

You need to know the intention of the basic strokes for when you begin to write the letters of the alphabet. You must be able to deconstruct the letter in order to understand how to build it. The good news—now that you are able to make basic strokes—you can build most of the lowercase alphabet.

As you peak just above the median line, begin to turn your fingers inward and apply pressure. This pressure should be the most you apply out of any downstroke you've previously practiced because the broad edge is going to be less generous as you move in back towards the left.
