Play - Make a game of it. Are you enjoying yourself?
Graphic - Keep it simple. Say more with less. Make a statement.
Iterative - Do over. Try again. Save the game and go to the next level.

Just Draw It.
You’ve been doing this for a while, maybe your whole life. What are you waiting for? You will never be ready, you are ready – now! It’s time to just draw it. Drawing is about doing. Trust yourself, believe in yourself. You don’t think about walking, you just do it. Say something. Draw what you say. It’s not about being the best. Be the best you! It’s not just how you do it – but what, when, where, and why you draw. Be yourself, don’t be afraid, be bold and let it out. Free yourself. Remember when you were a kid and drawing was fun. Well it’s still fun, and you’re good at it now.
