    Buy a small wheel that shows ratios so that you do not have to calculate them yourself. Then scale up the drawing according to the same proportions.

    You can use water-soluble pencils and roughly shade over an area. Then go back over the pencil with a wet brush to fill it.

    How do I make a perfect heart?

    Top Answerer
    To make a perfectly-proportioned heart, you can use the two circles and triangle method, but use a ruler or other straight edge to draw a line down from between the circles before drawing your triangle. This will help you keep the point centered. You can also use tools to help you draw the circles if you struggle with drawing nice circles.

  • Question
    How do I draw a heart that spells out the word "love"?
    Community Answer
    Draw the heart, then draw the word love in the middle space. Trying to write the drawing will be much harder and takes a lot of skill and practice but you can cheat by drawing a heart guideline, then sizing the letters to fit within that heart, then erase the guideline.

  • Question
    How do I do the shading?
    Undertale4141
    Top Answerer
    Determine a light source. Draw an arrow or a point to represent it somewhere on the page close to the heart. Shade it like you would a sphere, morphing the shading to accompany the different shape. The lighter areas are closest to the light source, and the shadow is the farthest away.
