About this level

Everything here is built for somebody who thinks they cannot draw. The lessons are short, the shapes are ones you can already make, and the canvas is on the page so there is no gap between deciding to draw and drawing.

Nothing in this level is graded and nothing blocks you. If a lesson is going badly, finish it early - there is a button for that on every one - and you will still end up with a complete drawing rather than an abandoned one. That is deliberate: the usual reason people stop is not difficulty, it is having nothing to show for the session.

Do one a day rather than all four at once. Short practice spread across days beats the same total time in one sitting for anything motor, and drawing is motor.
