- Draw two diagonal lines intersecting at the same center point, creating even sections.
Draw First Shamrock Leaf

Add the Bow

- Draw a large oval shape at the intersection as the bow’s center knot.
- Add a curved line extending from the top left side of the knot to form the top loop of the bow.
- Create a similar curved line extending from the knot’s bottom right side for the bottom loop.
- Ensure both loops mirror each other in shape and size for balance.
