Step-by-Step Drawing Guide

Step 1: Begin the Left Side

Draw a short horizontal top that curls into a large spiral on the left. Extend the inner end diagonally downward toward the center.

Pro Tip: Keep the spiral open before starting the long diagonal.

Step 2: Add the Left Outer Edge

Round the right end of the top bar into a small inward notch. Continue from the notch with a long diagonal parallel to the first line.

Pro Tip: Let both left diagonals narrow gradually toward the bottom.

Step 3: Start the Right Side

Draw a short rounded bar across the upper-right corner. Curve it inward, then pull a diagonal line down toward the central point.

Pro Tip: Match the height of the two upper bars.

Step 4: Close the Point

Add the outer right diagonal beside the inner line. Continue both sides through the open gaps and join them with a short flat bottom.

Pro Tip: Keep the bottom narrow so the letter still reads as V.

Step 5: Draw the Left Bow Half

Add a large folded ribbon loop across the lower-left side. Finish it with a narrow curling tail that hangs below.

Pro Tip: Let the ribbon overlap the letter near its lower middle.

Step 6: Complete the Bow

Draw a small rounded knot at the center. Add a matching loop to the right and finish with a second curled ribbon tail.

Pro Tip: Compare both loops so the finished bow feels balanced.

Step 7: Color in your drawing!

Fun Facts

• The uppercase V is formed by two diagonal strokes meeting at one point.
• A wide top and narrow base create its strong triangular silhouette.
• Ribbon loops use overlapping curves to suggest folds and depth.
