You may:
Free-hand draw (no reference/trace)
Trace photographs (images of real life, taken on a camera) - either yours or found online
Trace drawings/illustrations (must combine, cannot only trace one)
Or a combination of free-hand drawing, tracing photographs, and/or tracing drawings/illustrations
Trace a Photo (YES)
Find a photograph (or multiple) online, trace it, and be done.
Trace Multiple Illustrations (YES)
Find multiple illustrations online, trace them, and combine.
Trace an Illustration (NO)

Draw your outlines (this is the raised metal portion)
There is a vector brush option with an outline where you can choose the outline and fill color.
Make sure the outline is your metal color and then you can choose your fill color (enamel)
Review your color notes or the color page: https://www.hodgesclass.com/design/color
Use one of the various color scheme (such as analogous, warm/cool, complementary, etc.) that we learned about to choose your colors for your enamel pin.
You can use up to 8 colors.
