I paint mine. I often accidentally evoke just due to the intense focus and emotion I put into it, care and love. Samas/Azazel watched me paint his, as did Enki.
I have wood burning tools, thinking of trying it out.
Drawing or painting the sigils is extremely relaxing to me, very intimate.

I agree that the emotion/intent you dial their number with makes for better signal.

Well I could say Iām not an artist. But my drawings really suck. So I print my Sigils and it works fine.
It depends on the work you put into it.
In NAP I did draw the sigil in my book of intend (shadows), but I do the gazing in the printed one.
In my workings with Lucifer I do other nice things. Like making a breakfast as an offering or good coffee. So I put the work into it in another way.

What I did for my first sigil was print it out and then get a separate piece of paper and traced it out under a light. Worked great for me. Glad this question is being asked cause I wanted to know the answer as well lol

What do you mean? How fast hand drawn sigils open?
Itās individual. Some people find no difference between printed and hand drawn seals, but for me, hand drawn are easier to connect with energetically so they open faster.

I never understood sigils. My first 3 were drawn 5 years ago (2 for Malphas, 1 for Amaymon).
I fancied the symbols, so I took it as a challenge to draw them perfectly.
Drawing or printing works lol itās the effort you put into the work that matters. Not whether or not you drew it or printed it out.

Personally I use both, you are going to get to a point where you wonāt need either, you will just be able to picture it in your mind and manifest it.

@Demixl. Please make your next post an introduction in the NEW MAGICIAN AND INTRODUCTIONS area, and tell us about yourself and any experience you may have in magick. It is a rule of this forum and you were asked to do one back in June. Failure to do so will result in your posts being removed and suspension of your account until the rule is respected.
About the sigil āissueā, it would be interesting to even build 3D versions i.e. either spherical or with the form contained in the circle, looking the same on each side but geometrically developed internally.
If I were to print the sigil and place a blank piece of paper over the printed version to trace and draw the outlines with black ink or marker, would it be considered hand drawn? Itāll look identical to the printed version. Some sigils are complex to draw from just scratch 
What do you think? Or should I draw sigils literally from scratch.

The best way to create a sigil is to make your own sigil, however tracing a sigil created by someone else will not change the fact that it is someone elseās work. The important part is that you feel that the symbols or words have power to you.
When you use a sigil created by someone else youāre using a random symbol of someone elseās creation to focus your magical intention. This can still work and be effective but it is not tapping into your mind and your magic in the way a sigil is supposed to work.
Mastering the art of how to make a sigil properly comes with experience. I like working with paper and a pencil that way you can easily make corrections or changes, however you can experiment with other methods. Digital art, paints, collage, ink pens, can all make excellent sigil mediums.

Iāll try my best drawing them myself. Hopefully it wonāt matter if it doesnāt turn out exactly how they are portayed or supposed to look. Should I encricle the sigil or draw them without a circle around it? Does it matter really?

Great question. Yes, drawing a circle around your sigil is to allow its energy to draw and build and to protect the sigil giving it more power and focus.
Some practitioners draw two circles around a sigil to ensure added protection of the sigilās energy, many fill the space between these two circles with other sigils, magical symbols, and words/alphabet to enhance the energy and the circles protection of the sigil within.

One more question. Is it alright if I draw the sigil and keep it around without charging it yet until Iām ready to? Once itās charged I understand it can be a portal if itās left charged without burning it, if iām correct?
Can it also be discarded and thrown away without burning it, or must it definetely be burned into the ether?

Yes, you can use it as a talisman, no problem. Yes, empowered with your energy. Yes, you donāt have to burn it although I have on several occasions, discarding it in the trash will work or even burying it.

I thought I would also mention what I have done depending on the ritual is fold the sigil into a square and place it in my book of shadows until my goal has been reached, once I have achieved success I will then burn the sigil as a sign of completion of my ritual and the task of the sigil.
If the sigil is made to function as a talisman or if it represents a deity, then it is often activated over and over and should not be destroyed.
