More about these tools

A named subject is easier to look up, easier to get right and more satisfying to finish. The hint beside each one points at the feature that makes it recognisable, such as a ringed tail or the way the petals overlap. Animals, flowers and plants also come as doodles of a few lines. Lists are grouped by difficulty or by structure, so a beginner can stay with simple body shapes while someone further along picks a harder pose or a layered bloom. Draw one at a time with the button, run a timed round, or print the list and tick subjects off as the sketchbook fills.
