You must actually be familiar with using the program and how it works in order to draw ur cross, thas the only way or if you get a picture of an orthodox cross and use the drawing tool and draw it how u like.

It would be easier to use a vector program, like Adobe Illustrator or Macromedia Freehand, but Photoshop and Fireworks works fine. In Photoshop, it would be easier to have a reference image to work with (unless your a really good artist), so I think the best thing to do is to find a coptic cross on the internet and paste it into one layer in photoshop and create a new layer to work with. Then just use the polygon tool to make your cross over the reference image. When your done, just modify it the way you like to make it original, then you can apply all your textures, fills, filters, etc. Hope that helps.
