Use the pencil tool to draw a few lines to represent the feathers on the end of your arrow. Draw and color in a triangle for the point of the arrow. You could use the Line tool if you wanted perfectly straight lines but the pencil tools gives it a more informal feel.

Text is optional but if you want to add some, click on the T(ext) tool and then click somewhere in your drawing. Type your words and use the text attributes menu to change the font and size (as well as color and other attributes). With the text still selected you can move it around in the drawing.

Save your finished drawing and use it however you want. You may want to use the crop tool before saving to crop out any excess empty space around your heart drawing.
