1
Look at the religious symbols you intend to draw. Get a scrap paper and draw them. They won't look perfect your first try. Go back and look at the religious symbols again. Look for basic geometric patterns. A cross, for example, has a long, rectangle crossed by a shorter rectangle. Put a circle on it and you have a Celtic cross.

Draw the basic geometric figures lightly, with your pencil. Draw one long rectangle; draw another one crossing it toward the top at 90 degree angles. Use a ruler's straight edge to help you with straight lines. Lightly erase the square in the middle.

Use the same principle when drawing other religious symbols. Draw triangles for the Star of David. Draw a star and a moon for one of the Muslim religious symbols.

4
Lightly draw lines at 45 degree angles to one side of the religious symbol using a ruler as your guide. Do this only with religious symbols with straight geometrical figures. Use three dimensional figures as a basis to draw religious symbols such as the Menorah.

Grab a ruler, and pick a smaller measurement. Measure this distance on every 45 degree angle that you drew. Connect the dots to get a three dimensional effect. Go back and erase the extra lines around the religious symbol.

Tips & Warnings
Pick any group of religious symbols shown in a photograph. Draw light lines on the photographs. Make sure these lines cross each other at 90 degrees angles to create a grid. Draw a similar grid on your paper, same number of boxes on this second grid. Box by box, draw the parts of your religious symbols.
