The lines of the V extend through the intersections that are indicated by the red circles	3. Draw another two V-shapes. both start where the vertical line meets the circle and the square. As in the previous diagram, the lines of the V extend through the intersections that are indicated by the red circles
4. All the necessary construction lines have now been drawn. With a different colour pen, draw the line sections as shown in the diagram.	5. With the same colour pen as in the previous image, draw in the remaining line sections as shown in the diagram.	6. This shows the final design without construction lines.
