Draw Guide Lines

- Start by drawing a vertical line down the center of your page. This will serve as the main axis of your shamrock.
- Next, draw a horizontal line crossing the vertical one near the middle. Ensure that it is perpendicular to the vertical line.
- Add two diagonal lines, each cutting across the center point. These should form an X shape over the cross.
- Add little hatch marks as shown on the drawing above; these will serve you as anchor points for the leaf drawings.
- Add big hatch marks at the end of both vertical and horizontal lines to mark the sides of your drawing.
- Make sure these lines divide the space evenly, creating a symmetrical guide for your drawing.
