  Sketch a plus sign in the center of the piece of paper, using a ruler as a straight edge. The center vertical line should be slightly off-center to the right, giving you a grid to work with when you draw the Leo sign.

  Draw a circle to the left of the center vertical line, intersecting with the horizontal line.

  Draw a long S-shaped tail that extends from the top of the circle, curves up to reach the highest vertical point of the grid, then beneath the circle to end in the bottom right grid.
