Draw by Grid: Weird Creatures

Ages 5+Grid drawing

Strange creatures are copied one area at a time instead of being drawn from memory.

Because the subjects are imaginary, there is no expected color scheme for the final art.

About this book

This book begins with close observation: the child copies the cartoon square by square using the grid, then sees the complete picture take shape. The Draw by Grid series is intended for ages 5 and up. Invented creatures free a young artist from trying to match the colors of a real animal.

The finished drawing can then be colored with the child’s own patterns and palette. Choose this format when they enjoy a visual copying challenge; it does not provide ready-to-color pages or the outline-first activity of Trace Then Color.

How this book works

This is a Draw by Grid book rather than a ready-to-color book. Children ages 5 and up copy a picture square by square, then can color the finished art.
