KNOW THE TRICK! Drawing is easy if you know a little short cut. Picture Pilot shows you the simplest way to draw a bicycle, a car, or a cow... Just pick some of the 800 icon templates that matter to your story. QUICK SUCCESS GUARANTEED! Drawing with Picture Pilot gives you quick wins and this will really motivate you. Within a week you will master twenty icons and after a month you’ll have a portfolio of 100 things you can draw with ease. Just spend 5 Minutes a day and progress will come. NO PERFECTIONISM PLEASE! Most people draw with the finger on the smartphone. This is a bit frustrating at the start. So don’t expect very precise and pretty results. It’s absolutely ok if the lines are a little jagged and don’t line up with the template underneath. The most important thing is that you try and that you keep going. Of course, if you want to use a stylus that’s even better. But be generous with your results and take it easy. DRAW ON DIFFERENT LEVELS: There’s a step-by-step learning system in place: you start easy by tracing an image, then you draw without guides and finally you draw even without template – just from imagination. This way we make sure the pictures really stick and you are fit for your next performance at the flip chart. DRAWING IS FOR EVERYONE: Drawing is great for teaching and learning. Teachers and Students on all Levels will greatly benefit. Drawing and visualising is also helpful in business - especially in the field of innovation and change. It makes good ideas easy to understand and very convincing. So have great fun drawing! We would love to hear your feedback: Please mail us on support@picturepilot.com
