Mark the hours with stickers or pencil crosses (you still need your clock at this point). Before you begin to mark in your hour lines you need some of the year to pass. Mark the same time at the equinox and one of the solstices (or any two days a few months apart) and draw straight lines between them. Once you’ve got these hour lines in place, the dial starts to take shape. I use masking tape first before committing to paint, allowing me to tweak the lines later for supreme accuracy.

I’d start by marking only the hour by which you have to be out of bed making the simplest, clearest dial of all: a new meridian – the official line of lateness.
