How to make re-printed/printed from internet autographs look real?

[curiousandrandom:t]

ok, i just printed out david archuleta autographs from the internet.

How can i make the autograph look more realistic? (i was thinking using Sharpie on top of the fake autograph and trace the autograph carefully to make it looks real)

and how can i make the paper better?
i used plain white printing paper, i want to make it more...hm...harder, like puting some poster board behind the paper?

ok
1. How can i make the signature look more realistic

2. how can i make the paper stronger?

Thank you!

you can go to the store and buy thicker paper or even a big sheet of photo paper, and maybe you could practice his signature and just sign it yourself

I would buy a thing of tracing paper then trace over the autograph.
Then just practice doing it. The best thing to do is to just look at the signature and study it and try to duplicate it with trial and error. Then you can directly sign photos, either from magazines or photos you buy online.

I was a huge Hilary Duff fan and I was so obsessed that I managed to copy her autograph after a few weeks of tracing and practicing.

But do not try to sell what you end up with. Just do it for fun.
