Step 1: Guide shapes
Lightly sketch this oval. It only shows where the big parts go, so press softly. You will erase it at the end.
Step 2: Paddle-shaped outline
Draw a big rounded shape that is wide at the top and tilted to one side, with soft corners. Then let the bottom narrow into a short handle that bends a little and ends in a round tip.
Step 3: Five short dashes
Near the upper left edge inside the shape, draw five short, thick dashes with round ends. Tilt each one up toward the right and stack them down the edge, evenly spaced.
Step 4: Tiny heart
Near the round tip of the handle, draw a very small heart with two bumps on top and a point at the bottom. Color it in.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a comb
- Draw the big rounded shape lightly at first, so you can fix the corners before you go over it.
- The handle bends a little as it gets narrower, then ends in a round tip. Take it slowly.
- Draw the five dashes one at a time and tilt them all the same way, so they look lined up.
