hmm, well you could look at coils as a literal object for an example
like for this one you see it as small
you could use that as looking at small tight curls it is like the same but one is an object you use and the other really isn't
Like for this short video I have found it is like that but with the coil/curl is more loosen
Here I have drawn out some examples to give you an idea
it is like what you have done with that drawing you've made,
what I have done was used the letter z and made it into small ones zig zagging back and forth until it gets small upwards
