Draw

The course: 4 units, 8 drills

Your progress: first try and best

How each drill is scored

Lines and traced shapes: how far your stroke is from the line on average, and how much of the way it covers. A circle by eye: how round it is and how far round it goes, at any size. The middle of a line: how far your tap is from the true middle. Shading: the sheet is cut into 5 px cells and each pass of the pencil darkens a cell by a quarter; the boxes and the bar must get darker in even steps. The same strokes always give the same score, so a shared drawing is scored again when its link opens.
