How to Draw the Keywork -

For many Coheed enthusiasts, doodling the Keywork on inanimate objects is a much-beloved pastime and an integral part of our fandom. My junior high and high school years were covered with this symbol - desks, notebooks, binders, homework, and unsupervised whiteboards all fell victim to my nerdish scribblings. Those fans who never learned/were never able to properly draw the Keywork are not any lesser because of it, but I thought I’d offer my little tutorial. :) Grab a pen and paper, or a tablet if you’re lucky enough to have the technology!

Step 1.) Draw a large circle. Most of us tend to draw a slightly squashed circle due to leaning in the direction of our dominant hand. This is okay. Just keep circling lightly and quickly, kind of sketching in until the circle looks approximately round. Plus, this sketching technique gives the circle a thicker, messy look that is much desirable.

Step 2.) Add the two bottom circles underneath the top circle. This configuration, ideally, should have rotational symmetry - envision the equilateral triangle that connects the center points of the large circles, and sketch with that in mind. Note that the large circles DO NOT TOUCH. This is important.

Step 3.) Add smaller circles on the sides, connecting the top and two bottom large circles. Don’t make these too small, or the end product will look unbalanced!

Step 4.) Place the fourth small circle in the center. This one is supposed to overlap a little bit - just make sure it’s the same size as the other three small circles.

Step 5.) Connect the approximate center points of the large circles, creating the triangle.

You should now have something fairly resembling the finished product in the final picture. Is it going to be perfect? No, but it’s obviously the Keywork. Your first try will probably be a little fucked up, but that’s okay, since it’s not our fault Coheed picked such a obnoxiously intricate design to represent their universe. Just remember that practice makes perfect and soon you’ll be Keyworking everything you own. Enjoy!
