How to draw the Paisley Pattern

This is a very old pattern that comes originally from the middle and far east. It’s thought originally to have been based on the shape of a palm from or maybe the shape that cypress trees make when they bend over in a strong wind.

Basically you need to draw the outline and a few inner lines that follow the outer contour. Then it’s up to you to either copy my design or fill up the space with your own patern designs.
