How to Draw Barbed Wire

Nothing shouts "Keep Out" or "Top Secret" better than barbed wire. Learn how to draw some in just a few steps!

Steps

1
Draw two curved lines forming the first wire. They should be parallel, but not straight, as shown here.
2
Add a second set of lines. Make it the mirror image of the first; they should intersect in some points.

3
Draw an oval covering each of the intersections. They should be relatively thin and horizontal.
4
Add spikes to the ovals you just drew. Add four or two if you want to make it a double barbed wire.
5
Add vertical lines to the ovals. Make sure you leave a space between lines, similar to the thickness of the base wires you drew.
6
Color your drawing. Use grey to mimic metal, or black to make it look like a tattoo.
