If you want to forge a signature using tracing paper, first place the sheet of paper over the original signature and lightly trace it with a pencil. Then, place the tracing paper over the space you want to copy it to, and go over the signature a little harder with a pencil to imprint the signature. As the lines will be very faint at this point, you should go over it with a pen. However, don’t take your pen off the page when going over it, to make the signature look realistic. You should also pay attention to how thick each line is and apply more force for the thicker lines. For more tips, including how to write a forged signature freehand, read on!
