Follow the drawing stages

Read the stages from first to last before making a mark. Begin with the first shape, add one change at a time, and use spare paper for your version. These samples are drawing lessons, not pre-drawn coloring sheets.

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 cartoon cats and dogs extension

Compare ears, noses, and markings. Add a favorite toy or a pet name to your finished drawing.

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.
