Draw a small circle or oval for the cell body

Add a larger round shape around it if needed for the soma

Draw a smaller circle inside for the nucleus

Extend several short branching lines from the cell body for dendrites

Draw one long line extending from the cell body for the axon

Add small branch-like endings at the end of the axon

Sketch a few short gaps along the axon for myelin segments if desired

Refine the outline of the cell body and branches

Erase extra lines and clean up the drawing

Add labels if needed for dendrites, cell body, axon, and axon terminals
