Bring two curved lines up at the ends…
4.
And then add a point to the top of these, and a short line above.
5.
Turn this line into a point on either side and then bring the lines inwards.
6.
Add a small circle to the end of each of these…
7.
And then bring the lines across and up from here.

Add a small circle inside the top of the point, and then a triangle below this.

Bring a curved line up from the left, and take this across to meet the right.
13.
Add two small circles below these curved shapes…
14.
Add another smaller curve inside each of these for the eyes…
15.
And then add a small point to the bottom of these for the nose and a curved mouth at the bottom.
16.
Connect the shapes on either side with a curve, creating the outline of the queen’s face.

Bring two curved lines down from the bottom…
18.
And add two wavy lines across these.

Add a large “V” shape below this, and then add a curve across the bottom…

Now, add a slightly angled line to the top of each side of the V…
21.
And then bring a line down from the bottom of the V, and add an inverted V below this.
22.
Connect these shapes to the lines at the top with curved lines to create the queen’s collar…

37.
Add small circles to the left for the fingers…

And then complete the lines on the left to create the main body of the scepter. Add a long, thin loop to the top, then a large circle, and two smaller circles above these. Join the bottom of the scepter with a curve.

Now, bring a curved line down from the bottom of the left arm, and take this across to the right, and then to meet the scepter.
40.
Add another line just above this…

Bring a line up from the bottom left to meet the line above.
42.
Now, add black triangles to this section.
