Simple Shapes & Color

Simple shapes, loose lines, imperfect marks — that’s all it takes. Rectangles create buildings, windows, and doors. Half circles for a little extra. Hold everything loose and embrace the wobbles.

Step 1

Step 1

Simple paint and shapes

Rectangles for buildings, windows, doors. No rulers. No perfection.

Step 2

Step 2

Ink to define. Be imperfect.

Hold your pen loose. Wobbly lines are the whole point.

Step 3

Step 3

Add color. Try any colors you love.

Add more than you think. It always dries lighter.

Imperfect, odd, whatever-you-want lines make great trees. Rectangles create buildings. Hold everything loose — it helps with the wobbles! Add more color than you think. Sharing does give the gift of courage.
