Draw by Grid: Cartoon People

Draw by Grid: Cartoon People makes cartoon people a visual copying challenge, with the picture recreated one grid square at a time.

The activity experience

People-themed activities can lead to invented characters with jobs, habits, and stories of their own. Draw by Grid is intended for ages 5 and up. Its starting task is to observe a small part of the reference and place that part within the corresponding square.

Once the separate pieces form the whole cartoon, the child can choose whether to keep the pencil drawing or add colors and extra scenery. This gives the session two possible stages without requiring a finished color palette at the start. Give one character a pretend occupation and add an object that explains it.

Pick this title for a child interested in looking carefully at cartoon people and enjoying the process of assembling a picture. The book uses grid copying rather than tracing a supplied outline or following the How to Draw series’ six-step sequence.
