Now we know that the bass clef is also known as the F clef, it helps us draw the bass clef (or F clef) because:

One dot is on the F note line and two dots are either side of the F note line.

One dot is on the F note line and two dots are either side of the F note line.

So this helps you draw the bass clef:

Draw three doors on the bass staves, one on the F note line and two either side of the f note line.

Draw three dots on the bass staves, one on the F note line and two either side of the F note line.

Start at the dot on the line and draw an ear-shaped curve up to the line above and down until it passes between the bottom two lines.
