Step-by-Step Drawing Guide
Step 1: Begin the Top Curl
Draw two broad curves that sweep around the upper left corner. Turn their lower ends inward together to create a spiral.
Pro Tip: Maintain an even ribbon width around the entire curl.
Step 2: Add the Diagonal Stroke
Drop a short inner line from the curl, then angle it down right. Add a longer parallel diagonal from the rounded top to form a thick sloping stroke.
Pro Tip: Keep the diagonal edges parallel as they cross the page.
Step 3: Draw the Crossing Flourish
Sweep a double-lined ribbon horizontally across the middle of the letter. Curl both ends upward so the flourish wraps around the diagonal.
Pro Tip: Draw the crossing ribbon lightly where lines overlap.
Step 4: Finish the Lower Left Stem
Extend two lines downward beneath the left side of the flourish. Round them into a wide base and curl the inner end upward.
Pro Tip: Make the lower spiral about the width of the upper curl.
Step 5: Build the Right Stem
Rise from the crossing flourish with two tall curves and spiral their tops inward. Continue two lines below the flourish and join them at the bottom.
Pro Tip: Keep the right stem upright beside the sloping center stroke.
Step 6: Add Round Accents
Draw one small ring beside the upper left curl. Place two more rings near the opposite ends of the crossing flourish.
Pro Tip: Use similar ring sizes to tie the decorations together.
Step 7: Color in your drawing!
