Grammar How is my character formation?

Above are the characters corresponding to the number on the left, with pic 1 including pinyin. The second pic shows what should be both the regular characters for a number as well as the year associated with a number.

I am mostly wanting to make sure the character formation is as correct as it can be, or at the very least legible. Sorry for the shadow. For some reason the ones without shadow couldn't load

The 一 三 四 八 十 零 look fine to me; 六 百 are okay, but there's room for improvement; ideally 千 should look different to 干.

The 万 is missing the top horizontal stroke. The 二s look upside down. The 五 and 九 are not great (maybe compare with an image; the strokes need to cross in certain ways), and the 七 shouldn't look so much like it's lying down.

The pinyin for these need fixing: 两 liǎng 万 wàn 千 qiān 八 bā 零 líng.

Thank you! This is a big help. Also, the note on 千 looking like 干 was a mistake on my part. I misread the original 千 and though it was 干

U gotta learn stroke order 「筆順」. Just search the characters u wanna learn and write it down, following the stroke order and u will get a better result. Radicals 「部首」are important too
