Create-your-own blank grid

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.
Look closely before drawing
Start with the shape that anchors the picture. Pause to compare its position with the reference, then keep or change it by choice. After finishing, redraw one part from memory to see which detail your child noticed.
Try a mechanical alien characters extension
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.
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.
