Draw by Grid: Cartoon People
Cartoon People presents portrait references through the grid method. Look at the actual supplied interiors to see the copying task, then compare that with inventing a person around a blank starting shape.
Ages 5+106 pages

Understand the first drawing action
A divided reference tells the artist where a pictured line belongs. The standard Draw by Grid books have 106 pages with ages 5+ guidance. Copy corresponding squares to make the reference drawing, then compare that structured task with an independently interpreted shape.
A separate invention invitation
After using a reference, choose whether a new idea on spare paper sounds interesting. An original starting outline can suggest another subject or one small feature. That independent exercise is an optional companion activity, not a feature being added to this book.
Want to decide what the next picture becomes?
Shape Drawing Challenge gives artists 16 repeated beginnings, six illustrated examples per shape, and room for 480 independently chosen drawings.
