Tips
Provide Details.
Please be as detailed as possible in your explanation. Don't worry about formatting! We'll take care of it. For example:
Don't say: Eat more fats.
Do say: Add fats with some nutritional value to the foods you already eat. Try olive oil, butter, avocado, and mayonnaise.

EditTips

  • Try to use colors that won't bleed or mix. Light colors often get stained by darker ones.
  • To have a perfect shape you can use a ruler.
  • You can try various color combinations.
  • The thicker your highlighter, the easier it is drawing the outlines.
  • If you want a completely transparent cube, you can use a soft pencil instead of a highlighter pen and then get rid of the pencil marks with a good eraser.

EditThings You'll Need

  • Highlighter pen
  • Pen or magic marker
  • Paper
  • Ruler
