No you cannot. We want you to draw whatever you feel is most relevant to describe the image within a short time of 60 seconds.
Question: It is difficult to draw the objects in the image.
Do not worry. You do not have to draw perfect sketches!! You should draw a free hand sketch from which you can understand the image.
