Step-by-Step Drawing Guide

Step 1: Draw the Left Outer Shape

Start with a long curved line that opens toward the right, like a soft hook. Let the bottom curve gently outward to begin the rounded base of the money bag. Keep the shape simple and smooth.

Pro Tip: Keep the bottom curve slightly flatter so the money bag looks more stable.

Step 2: Add the Right Outer Shape

Draw a new curved line from the upper right, bending down toward the base. Connect it smoothly to the bottom line to create a rounded bag body with an open top. The shape should look full and soft.

Pro Tip: The two sides do not need to match perfectly, but keep the base rounded and steady.

Step 3: Draw the Gathered Top

Add a wavy tied opening above the bag body, like fabric gathered together. Draw short curved lines downward on both sides to connect the top to the neck of the bag. This makes the upper section look like folded cloth.

Pro Tip: Let the top waves vary in height so the fabric looks more natural.

Step 4: Add the Cinching Band

Draw two horizontal curved lines between the bag body and the top fabric. Round the ends slightly so the band looks wrapped tightly around the opening. This helps separate the tied section from the main body.

Pro Tip: Keep the band width even so the cinched opening looks clear.

Step 5: Add Tightened Fold Lines

Add a few short slanted lines above and below the band to show gathered fabric folds. Let the lines spread outward from the band so the tied area looks tighter and more detailed. These small marks give the drawing more structure.

Pro Tip: Keep the fold lines short so the cinched opening looks clean.

Step 6: Draw the Dollar Sign

Add a large dollar sign in the center of the money bag. Draw the straight vertical lines first, then add the curved “S” shape across them. Place the symbol neatly so the bag is easy to recognize.

Pro Tip: Place the dollar sign slightly above the center to keep the drawing balanced.
