Draw the Support Rod
Start by drawing a long horizontal support rod where the vine will crawl. Feel free to use a ruler to draw the straight edges.

Next, create the curvy shape of the vine wrapping around the support rod. Make sure to erase any overlapping lines.
-
Add the End of the Vine
Draw the curling, tapering end of the vine.

Draw the Tendrils
Add thinner, shorter tendrils branching from the main vine.

Add the Leaves
Form heart-shaped leaves growing along the vine and tendrils.
