Objectives
Prepare for the next page in the lyrics book
Improve drawing skills

Task
Choose another page from your plan. Look at your Pinterest research (and do some more) and select interesting images connected with the subject of the page.
My subject was a cigarette packet; I've allowed the search to offer up other interesting options like the hare smoking and the figure with a smoking head.
Select 4 or 5 (or like me...9) and paste them onto an A4 sheet.
If you can use Photoshop, make a new A4 and paste them onto that. 
Print it off in B&W.
