Read the full guide
Pink, white, cream and one red
The look is a narrow palette. Start with pale pink and cream, leave bare paper for white, and save red for one small thing in each drawing: a stitch, a strawberry, a bell. Keep outlines thin, in brown or dark pink. A black outline looks heavy next to colors this pale.
What is on the list
Plush toys and pets, sweets, bows, lace and stickers, and room and keepsakes. Nothing has a face added to it, and no company's character appears. The toys are plain plush animals, such as a rabbit, a bear and a lamb.
A sticker reads as a sticker once it has a white border. Draw the outline twice.
Plush seams are short dashes. Put them where two pieces of fabric would meet.
