Step-by-Step Drawing Guide
Step 1: Start the Upper Stem
Draw two long downward curves to begin a thick upright stem. Curl the upper left line inward into a loose spiral.
Pro Tip: Keep a steady gap between the two sides of the stem.
Step 2: Add a Crown
Place a small three-pointed crown across the top curve. Give its base a shallow arc that follows the letter beneath it.
Pro Tip: Center the tallest crown point over the stem.
Step 3: Extend the Lower Stem
Continue both sides downward with two separated vertical curves. Leave open gaps where the face will appear later.
Pro Tip: Align each lower line with the upper stroke directly above it.
Step 4: Sweep Out the Base
Curve the lower left stroke into a loop, then sweep it far right. Add a second broad curve below it and finish with a lifted tip.
Pro Tip: Use one smooth arm movement for the longest bottom curve.
Step 5: Curl the Final Tip
Turn the raised right tip inward to create a rounded spiral. Connect the curl smoothly to the inner line of the base.
Pro Tip: Leave open space inside the spiral to keep it clear.
Step 6: Complete the Face
Draw two sparkling round eyes in the open center of the stem. Add a small upward-curving smile between them.
Pro Tip: Keep both eyes similar in size and level with each other.
