How do you write the number 8?
@SyrupSlushie
Those of you that use the "Two individual circles" method, are you..
@InternetRooky I personally do the "two circles" method & yeah I'm left handed, /but/ I mainly do the two circles thing because it looks cute; it's like a lil snowman.
if i'm in a hurry, usually i try to slap down a sideways infinity sign, but it's always awkward looking and lopsided for some reason...

@SyrupSlushie I literally wrote a bunch of numbers to confirm the method I use.
If yours looks like a snowman, can I safely assume the diameter of the bottom circle is larger than the top circle?
When I write too fast, my top circle is bigger... SUPER ugly
@InternetRooky Yeah I try to keep my bottom circle bigger, also the top circle is full, and I make it so that it /overlaps/ the bottom circle. I feel like it gets a bit of depth:

@SyrupSlushie Hmm I can see that... I'm starting to think other numbers don't have the same opportunities the Eight provides.
* The bottom of the 9 can be curled or straight
* 4 can be a triangle or blocky
* Some people put the little line through their 7's
* Some people put the top & bottom fluff on the number 1
Letters have some of that, too. For example, when I write an uppercase "A", I draw it with a single motion (so that the middle line flows in an arc, sort of like a checkmark). It's laziness, but I like to think that it's also a style choice.
I tend to overthink a lot of letters when I'm writing by hand. Unfortunately, whenever someone else reads my handwriting, I usually get a "huh, that handwriting is.... well it's there", so I can't say it's particularly /good/, despite the effort, haha!
