1
Draw a rectangle of considerable size for the crown’s framework.
2
Add a curve connecting the upper left corner of the rectangle to the upper right corner. Draw two similar curves apart from each other near the bottom but inside the rectangle.

Draw the zig-zag lines in the middle curve, the straight lines which connect the midpoints of the zig-zags in the bottom curve, and small circles in each tip of the zig-zags.
4
Draw zig-zag lines in between the middle and bottom curves and draw two curved lines which are part below the bottom curve. The distance between the two new curves are wider near the center.

Draw circles at the center of the zig-zag shapes at the upper part of the crown. Draw smaller circles at the middle of the zig-zags at the middle of the crown.

How do I make my lines straight?

Community Answer

I suggest using a ruler. If you don’t have a ruler, try anything that’s flat; I suggest using something that’s hard and in a square/rectangular shape. Credit cards, flash/index cards, gift cards, birthday cards, even a book, if that’s what you have.

Draw an oval and add long, thin, triangles for the thorns. They should be wider at the base and taper off. Alternate the sides they stick out from. Color suggestions are green, brown, or black.
