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.
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.
Compare ears, noses, and markings. Add a favorite toy or a pet name to your finished drawing.
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.
These are selected interior samples, not the full book. See How to Draw: Cartoon Cats & Dogs details and its Amazon purchase link to compare the book’s format and age guidance.
