Ties are traditionally drawn so that they curve out away from the stems, i.e. if the stems go up, the tie curves downward between the note heads. This is the basic rule followed unless something gets in the way of the tie, e.g. in divisi writing the stems-up voice's ties curve up and the stems-down
