how to write big waves

[Honza]

Hi everyone.

thanks for your posts
I think the best is the simple "waves" written by Val.
I just wonder, if it is clear, that hands also rotates during the movement.
(first fingers are up, then forward, up again, forward)
maybe it is necessary to add "wrist" movement?

thanks
Honza
