Stroke direction – change of direction
A single stroke can change direction once, twice, or more times. Observe the highlighted strokes in the following diagram.
Strokes that change direction are not special: they follow the same direction rules like every other stroke. You should write them left to right (stroke direction rule 1), and top to bottom (stroke direction rule 2).
Write a stroke from the end that allows your pen to move either rightward or downward, and not leftward or upward.
