How to write ヅ
Follow the numbers on the diagram: each stroke starts at its number. Keep to this order, because that is how your hand remembers the shape.
How ヅ sounds
ヅ is ツ with dakuten (゛): tsu becomes zu.
Sounds the same as ず. It is rare: it appears when つ is voiced, as in みかづき (mikazuki, a crescent moon), or after another つ, as in つづく (tsuzuku, to continue).
Almost never used: words spell this sound with ズ.
