Copy one square at a time

Match a reference square to the same position in the drawing grid. Notice where a line enters and leaves its square before copying it. A blank character grid is an invitation to invent a new design rather than a finished picture to color.

Make it a manageable activity

Set out a pencil, crayons, and one printed page. Agree on a comfortable stopping point, such as finishing the outline or one grid row. For siblings, print separate copies so each child can choose a pace and add personal details.

Try a exaggerated cartoon faces extension

Observe the eyebrows and mouth before starting. Make a second face with one changed feature and compare the expression.

Print without stretching the artwork

Download the original JPG, then open it in an image viewer or your browser. Choose portrait orientation and fit the whole image to the printable area. Check the preview before printing; do not use a fill or crop setting. The download preserves Kevin Coulston’s original artwork.
