My brain-You should draw zombies, no ghosts. No, draw babies around the moon and see if Matt can figure out something with the digital watercolor brush. Use the acrylic brush in Procreate. Draw with pastels today; you haven’t used them! Paint sticks and glue them onto something. Go to the library!

You’ll probably miss the first time and a second time, maybe even the third. But with patient persistence, you’ll eventually hit the mark.
