Step-by-Step Drawing Guide
Step 1: Start the Left Spiral
Draw a round spiral near the upper-left area. Leave its outer end open and pointing upward.
Pro Tip: Keep a clear gap between the spiral’s inward turns.
Step 2: Form the First Stroke
Add a rounded top bar above the spiral and angle its outer edge downward. Curve around the first valley, then rise slightly on the inner side.
Pro Tip: Round the valley gently instead of making a sharp point.
Step 3: Rise to the Center
Continue the inner edge upward to create the tall central peak. Add a second line beside it, descending toward the next valley.
Pro Tip: Place the central peak higher than both lower valleys.
Step 4: Shape the Middle Stroke
Round the top of the central stroke with a short cap. Draw its outer edge downward and add the inner diagonal for the right half.
Pro Tip: Match the central stroke’s width to the left stroke.
Step 5: Complete the Right Side
Round the second valley and sweep two parallel lines upward. Keep the outer line longer to prepare space for the final flourish.
Pro Tip: Make both valleys sit along the same baseline.
Step 6: Add Hearts and a Curl
Turn the upper-right stroke into a large inward spiral. Draw one small heart beside each upper diagonal.
Pro Tip: Keep the hearts small so the W remains the main shape.
Step 7: Color in your drawing!
