I’m at Level 21 on WaniKani currently, and I like being able to write Japanese by hand (+ I think it would help me remember the kanji much better). I have absolutely no idea how to go about learning it for the kanji I already know. Honestly not sure what the most effective way would be for new kanji…

I do not think there is a trick to “learning” kanji handwriting. You memorize how to write them by writing them. You will also quickly forget how to write them if you stop writing them.

I’m not sure if this answers your question, but my technique in the past was using the website Tanoshii Japanese for the stroke order, and I practiced the stroke order during my wanikani reviews/lessons anytime the vocab words came up.

I did that too, with my IME, but I couldn’t figure out how to make it stop cheating by giving me suggestions.
