Apparently this idea comes from The Sketchnote Workbook ( We have not had a chance to check the image against the workbook. If we are wrong, blame Twitter).  We can draw everything with these 5 basic elements. Shall we try it? Find a complex subject for your composition and draw it using only circles, squares, triangles and dots!

Upload your drawing as a photo to flickr and tag it dailycreate and tdc1278
