MAKE YOURSELF COMFORTABLE
There is no hurry here.
A little paper, a favorite pen, and a moment to yourself.
TRY THE IDEA
One mark. One shape.
Fill the whole shape with the cross. Leave the unmarked shape white. Try the button—no printer needed.
Look for the cross in the left-hand shape.
Practice diagram · Actual marks and shapes vary by book.
Start small. See what appears.
Begin with one marked shape. Fill it carefully, then move on to the next. Pause whenever you like. There is no need to finish in one sitting.
