How U and u are drawn on this sheet
Capital U has 1 stroke on its solid model. Stroke 1 starts on the top line at the left and pulls down. Lowercase u is drawn in 2 strokes. Stroke 1 starts on the dashed midline at the left and pulls down; stroke 2 starts on the dashed midline at the right and pulls down. Lowercase u fits between the dashed midline and the baseline. The page then switches to dotted rows that fade from dark to light, and closes with a row left blank to write on.
