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.
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.

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.
