Constraint Shuffle

When a blank page has too many possibilities, remove one. Pick a mode, draw a constraint, and make the limitation do some of the thinking.

General constraint

Make the first version in 20 minutes.

Do not optimize it. The goal is to discover what the idea becomes when time is scarce.

A good constraint should create a direction, not a punishment. If a draw makes the work worse rather than sharper, reroll it. Nothing here is saved or sent anywhere.
