Drawing Tips!
The drawing canvas has a 1cm X 1cm grid. You can use this grid to make sure your designs are a good size in real life!
The BLACK AREAS are shapes that NEED to be part of your design.
The WHITE AREAS are spaces you CANNOT DRAW IN.
FOR EXAMPLE:
Keep in mind that everything you draw in BLACK is your DESIGN CUTOUT.
