Step-by-Step Drawing Guide
Step 1: Draw the Left Stem
Create a tall narrow stem with rounded space between its sides. Curl both the top and bottom ends inward into large spirals.
Pro Tip: Keep the two curls similar in width for a unified style.
Step 2: Form the Left Slope
Extend the top outer curve downward toward the center to begin the M. Add a short inner diagonal rising from the upright stem.
Pro Tip: Aim both diagonals toward the same central area.
Step 3: Add the Upper Right Half
Rise from the center into a broad right arch and curl its end inward. Draw a matching inner spiral and a short diagonal inside the arch.
Pro Tip: Match the height of the left and right upper curls.
Step 4: Complete the Right Stem
Continue the inner right line straight downward. Round the bottom outward, then curl it inward to mirror the left base.
Pro Tip: Compare both lower spirals before closing the final curve.
Step 5: Place the Center Heart
Draw a plump heart beneath the M’s central point. Add two small curved highlights inside its left side.
Pro Tip: Center the heart between the two inner stems.
Step 6: Add Shining Decorations
Place a smaller highlighted heart on the upper left slope. Scatter short curved shine marks around the four spirals and upright strokes.
Pro Tip: Use only a few accents in each area to avoid clutter.
Step 7: Color in your drawing!
