Begin by drawing an L in a chubby/slender style.

Up next you will draw the shading block under the L.

For the O, draw the shape of a solid looking heart.

Step 4. Click picture above to go to the tutorial

Again, sketch in the shading block behind the heart like so.

Now you can draw in the V and you notice how it's almost the same shape as the heart, just slender.

The shading block for the V will come later. For now just draw in an uppercase E like so.

As you can see here I've pointed out how these shading blocks should be drawn in and shaded in later.

Now you can proceed on with drawing the block shading under the V and E at the same time.

We will draw in some very simple wings and then draw a hole in the O which is also shaped in the form of a small heart.

Lastly, draw a corner line to the bottom of the V shading block and then draw hearts fluttering around the graffiti tattoo word 'LOVE'. Erase the mistakes, I'm sure there is some clean up to do.
