## Prompt

```text
Redraw the attached image in the most {style_description} way possible. Use a white background, and make it look like it was drawn in {software}. It should be vaguely similar but also not really, kind of matching but also off in a confusing, awkward way, with that low-quality pixel-by-pixel feel that really emphasizes how ridiculously bad it is. Actually, you know what, whatever, just draw it however you want.
```

## Variables

Replace each `{variable}` before you paste the prompt.

| Variable | Label | Example |
|---|---|---|
| `{style_description}` | style description | clumsy, scribbly, and utterly pathetic |
| `{software}` | software | MS Paint with a mouse |
