Sample Number List
-
Draw the number in lead pencil first. For the purposes of this demonstration article, we have chosen an 8. Use rounded drawing at all times, even with numbers that have straighter edges. Think of ballooning as you move the pencil around corners.

Outline the number with a marker. Keep the outline rounded.Advertisement
