Drawn Ugly on Purpose, for the Sake of Contrast
A mouse-drawn redo of the original image, deliberately keeping that pixel-level crappy charm.
Prompt notes
✍️ Ugly isn't an accident here, it's the only goal. White background, mouse-drawn lines, misaligned edges — get all three variables in place and the crappy look reads as authentic. Trying too hard to get it right is how you lose.

📋 Prompt Natural Language
Take the attached image and redraw it as clumsily as possible — scribbled, wobbly, deliberately pathetic, the way someone would drag a mouse around in the most basic paint program without any care. Put it on a [background color: white] background. Aim for that off-register effect where it roughly matches the original but stays confused and misaligned, with intentionally bad pixel-by-pixel quality. The exact result doesn't matter — just draw it however it comes out.
