In what order should the sheets be used?

The three sets run in a progression: lines first, then shapes, then picture paths.

Are the shapes big enough for a small hand?

The shapes are large, with wide margins between them, and each has a thick dashed outline.

Can I change the subject?

Yes. Type the change you want, such as animals or holidays, and the layout follows the request.

What are the three styles?

Bold black uses thick black dashes, bright colour uses red, blue, green and yellow, and crayon drawn uses waxy orange, green, blue and purple.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
