How Y and y are drawn on this sheet
Capital Y has 3 strokes on its solid model. Stroke 1 starts on the top line at the left and slants down to the right; stroke 2 starts on the top line at the right and slants down to the left; stroke 3 starts below the midline in the middle and pulls down. The right arm of Y turns straight down at the middle, so the stem is its own third stroke. Lowercase y has 2 strokes. Stroke 1 starts on the dashed midline at the left and slants down to the right; stroke 2 starts on the dashed midline at the right and slants down to the left. Lowercase y drops below the baseline to the dotted line underneath. After each model come two dotted copies, then rows of dotted letters that get lighter, and a blank row at the bottom.
