There are a lot of techniques to use when creating 100% hand painted figures. My biggest critique of any hand painted figure are the numbers. To me that is the toughest thing to nail down.
I use a colored pencil the close to the same color I plan on painting the numbers, I then ever so lightly pencil the number onto the jersey, do this very lightly, so you can barley see it, then take your brush and paint over that. This allows you to make numbers that are more consistent in size, shape and font style.
You can buy colored pencils individually by color at Michaels.
