🖌️ How to Draw a Bow – Step by Step
Step 1: Draw the Center Knot

2️⃣ This will be the knot of the bow, where the loops and ribbons connect.
Step 2: Sketch the Bow Loops
1️⃣ On each side of the knot, draw two large curved shapes to create the bow loops.
2️⃣ Make sure the loops are even in size and curve outward.
3️⃣ Add curved lines inside the loops to give them a folded effect.
Step 3: Add the Ribbon Ends
1️⃣ Below the knot, draw two long, wavy ribbons flowing downward.
2️⃣ The ends of the ribbons can be straight or cut into a V-shape for extra style.
3️⃣ Add curved lines inside the ribbons to make them look folded.
Step 4: Draw Details and Shading
1️⃣ To make the bow look more realistic, add small curved lines on the knot to show texture.
2️⃣ Draw light shading on the loops and ribbons to give the bow a three-dimensional look.
3️⃣ You can add tiny highlights to make the bow appear shiny.
Step 5: Outline and Color Your Bow
1️⃣ Go over your drawing with a black marker to make the lines bold.
2️⃣ Color the bow pink, red, blue, or any color you like! 🎀
3️⃣ Use shading techniques to make the bow look soft and realistic.
And that’s it! You now know how to draw a bow step by step! 🎉🎀
