Follow the faint character outline with a comfortable pencil or crayon. Turn the page if that makes a curve easier to reach. Once the outline is complete, color it in any palette; matching an example is unnecessary.
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.
Look for a change from a rounded body part to a straight mechanical edge. Invent a job for the character’s equipment on separate paper.
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.
