You won't find out until the very end. This whole way of playing — drawing from nothing but a song's instructions — comes from ekaki-uta, Japan's classic drawing songs. ■ We all heard the same song. So why do our drawings look nothing alike? Try it yourself and you'll see: drawing from nothing but a sung phrase is surprisingly hard. Everyone reads the lines their own way, so the finished drawings almost never look alike. ■ Can't draw? You'll fit right in In a drawing song where you don't know the answer, getting it right on your first try would honestly be the strange part. And yet, somehow, there are near misses — drawings that look almost, sort of, like the answer. That's where the fun is. Play a few songs and you start piecing it together: "That phrase repeated — arms? Legs?" "A small part — an eye, maybe?" Before you know it, you're actually getting better. It's less a test of drawing skill, and more of a riddle to solve. ■ The reveal is the best part Coach Sketch's answer plays...
