thumb|How to draw with just three colours
Instructions
Watch our video for a step-by-step guide
Test out your colour combinations in your sketchbook or on a spare piece of paper
How do they look together? What different styles and patterns can you make?
Cityscape
Try doing a cityscape, like in the video. At its most basic, you draw a square, and then make it a cube with three diagonal lines, and then join and connect them.
How do different cubes and boxes fit together?
Add windows to your buildings - maybe a door, or a chimney? Is there a garden? What's in the garden?
Stack 'em up
Start with a small idea - like a star - at the bottom of your page
Draw different bubbles stacked on top of each other - each one must be connected to the bit below it
Now turn each of these into a character - what faces are they pulling? Are they wearing a hat? Do they have different clothes?
