Checkerboard coaster

A brighter corner for your desk

Try a checkerboard, citrus slice or flower. The broad color blocks are useful for practicing row counts before moving on to a detailed picture.

Sitting cat

Your favorite animal, in your colors

Start with an animal outline, select a palette you own, and change the coat colors. Keep facial features high contrast and preserve the original connecting cells.
