Generally speaking kana are usually written a bit smaller than kanji. A nice proportion is about… 80% of kanji size on average, I feel. Of course, pleasantly written kanji themselves also vary in size as well.
Random ペン字 example I found
I realize not everyone is practicing to write like this.
I wonder why the cursive さ has that gap. The teacher in the class I took last semester started taking points off because I was writing it connected as in print shape so I changed but it seems inefficient to have to take the pen out of the paper to create the gap.
OMG! Whoever is doing this is amazing!! Must be a calligraphy class or something…
Certainly looks like one. On that note though, if you’re interested in calligraphy or kanji writing tips in general, you can try following Kayo-sensei on Twitter. She does stuff like this too, and she posts in English: https://twitter.com/kayoshodo
For all the people highlighting the fact that there’s probably going to be a lot of printer ink involved: some Chinese publishers produce templates that are printed on hard paper/cardboard or engraved into some sort of… plastic/rubber? You can get them with pens that contain disappearing ink. The idea is that, since the ink will fade, you’ll be able to trace/imitate the templates over and over without having to replace them (unless you press really hard and damage the template, of course). I used them to improve my handwriting in Chinese. If you have those templates, you won’t need to print anything yourself. Just two problems:
Anyhow, the ‘disappearing ink’ works fine on regular paper as well, so if you want, you can print your own worksheets and trace them using these pens. The ink stays visible for around 10 min, if I remember correctly, so you’ll have time to examine your handwriting and see what you might want to improve. You can get them off Taobao (which is generally in Chinese, unfortunately). I don’t know if there’s an English version of the Taobao site, or if there are English sites that sell similar products. In any case, here’s a list of Taobao search results for those pens and ink cartridges contain such ink:

Any one of them should do. The main difference should be the quantity you’ll be paying for. The prices are in yuan, not yen. China just happens to use the same symbol. (It’s logical: ¥uan and ¥en.)
That’s all I can think of for now. It might of course be better or more satisfying to practise writing using a pen you like or a pen that you tend to reserve for calligraphy/Japanese, but as far as the repeated tracing/copying aspect of calligraphy practice goes, this ink was purpose-made for it.
This is great! Thanks for sharing!
I have made some changes to the PDFs. If you have downloaded the pages, but not yet printed those, check the new PDFs!
If you cannot download the sheets for some reason, Chrome users can use force refresh to change the page, while others can open the site in Incognito/Private mode to get the latest files immediately. Or you can wait a couple of hours to reflect the changes in your device.

I love you this is just what I needed
Thanks a lot!!!
I can imagine this actually helping quite a bit when it comes to similar Kanji.
Love the slick design, I think’ll print some out!
The “sushi” button link is either broken or is it just a joke?
Huh! Where, on Website?
It is supposed to open this page. 
I was writing all the kanji I know on a square papers to keep track of the kanji I know and learn the strokes. Now that I found this, the pdf seems very useful. Thank you very much !
Thank you. Beautiful design in your website btw.
Awesome! Cant wait to see the updated version! Thanks for letting me know!
In this page Kanji.sh | About the button does not work. I’m running Safari on Mojave (I want to run my 32 bits apps…). Tested also with firefox and same result.
Damn… 
I forgot to migrate the configuration while doing React to Next.
Fixed and updated the website. You might need to do a force refresh 
It seems that there is an error in the writing boxes, some don’t have the horizontal line. I noticed that it starts in the 3rd kanji of the first page and then repeats every 5 Kanji in all files. You might want to fix that @aruke
Hi @vemf, thanks for noticing. I’m out for the next week, but I will fix it as soon as I get the chance. (◍•ᴗ•◍)

Possibly a bug: Right-click on the various ‘Download PDF’ link buttons does not present a ‘Save Link As…’ option in the context menu.
Oh WOW! You’re amazing! God bless you! You’re a life savior!!
