3. From the upper tip of the first line draw a long curved line to outline the back of the blade. Extend it until it almost meets the opposite end of the line. Erase the other line from between these lines, so that one blade appears to pass in front of the other.

4. Draw a long curved line from the tip of the second straight line until it nearly meets the opposite end, forming the second blade. Notice how the line is broken so that this blade appears to be behind the first.

Learn More About The Scissors Drawing
Scissors or shears are used for cutting hair, thread, fabric, paper, or even food items. Specialized shears may be used for cutting metal, pruning plants, or in surgery.
This type of cutlery was first invented thousands of years ago during the Bronze Age, but scissors were not readily available to everyone until the 1700s.
Scissors are one of the first tools that children learn to use. Young children are given "safety scissors" that are made from plastic or have dull metal blades. These scissors will cut paper but nothing else.
Scissors are often used as symbols of beauty salons and barber shops, as well as arts and crafts or scrapbooking stores. Scissors may also be associated with sewing, as in "The Work Song" from Disney's Cinderella.

"Don't run with scissors" is a common maxim. It has been spoofed in other media, such as in an episode of the cartoon Dexter's Laboratory in which Didi ran gleefully around the lab holding a pair of scissors out in front of her.
Her brother then constructed her an armored suit so she could do this safely. The title character in the film Edward Scissorhands had multiple pairs of scissors instead of normal human hands. Giant scissors are often used in depictions of ribbon-cutting ceremonies at grand opening events.
