Tips & Tricks (Playground)

Quick drawing lessons & practice

Written by Debra

Tips & Tricks is a collection of short, fun mini-lessons that teach you one simple drawing “trick” at a time (like shading, shine ✨, movement lines, cartoon eyes 👀, bubble writing). Tips & Tricks unlocks as you progress through the Playground and earn Sparks ✨.

Each lesson is designed to help you feel confident using that trick, and then you can jump into a Playground drawing and try it out for yourself 🎨.
