## Prompt

```text
Please redraw the attached image in the most clumsy, messy, and hopelessly pathetic way possible. Use a white background and make it look like it was drawn in {software_style}. It should vaguely resemble the original, but not really — like it’s kind of correct in some places yet strangely off and awkward overall. Emphasize a low-quality, pixelated look, and make it appear ridiculously badly drawn.
```

## Variables

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

| Variable | Label | Example |
|---|---|---|
| `{software_style}` | software style | MS Paint with a mouse |

## About
