Today’s post features a free page from Trace Then Color: Cool Stuff 2, and this one is all about a cute little reptile. This free Baby Snake Coloring Page shows an adorable baby snake with big expressive eyes, one tiny tooth, and a coiled-up cuddly pose that makes it more sweet than scary.

Snakes don’t usually get described as cuddly, but this one definitely earns that title. With its rounded shapes and friendly expression, this baby snake is designed to feel approachable and fun for young artists.

If you’re looking for a simple activity that combines tracing and coloring, this free Baby Snake Coloring Page is a great place to start.

About Trace Then Color: Cool Stuff 2

Trace Then Color: Cool Stuff 2 is the follow-up to the original Trace Then Color: Cool Stuff. This second volume expands on the same idea with an all-new set of fun, kid-friendly characters and objects to trace and color.

The book includes a wide variety of designs, all created to be approachable, simple, and fun. Each page is structured the same way: trace first, then color.

The baby snake featured in this Baby Snake Coloring Page is a great example of the style used throughout the book. Clean outlines, expressive features, and just enough detail to keep things interesting without overwhelming beginners.

Why Trace Then Color Works So Well

The Trace Then Color format is designed to remove pressure. Instead of asking kids to draw something from scratch, it gives them a structured starting point.

Tracing helps with:

• Fine motor skills
• Hand-eye coordination
• Pencil control
• Confidence building

Once the tracing is complete, the coloring portion allows for creativity. On this Baby Snake Coloring Page, kids can experiment with bright greens, soft pastels, rainbow patterns, or even completely unexpected colors.

There’s no “correct” way to color it. That freedom is part of what makes the activity enjoyable.

The Original Trace Then Color: Cool Stuff

Before Trace Then Color: Cool Stuff 2, there was the original Trace Then Color: Cool Stuff. That book introduced the format and helped establish the series as a fun, low-pressure way for kids to practice drawing skills.

The first volume focused on a wide range of cool, kid-friendly subjects, and the second book builds on that foundation with new characters and fresh designs.

If your child enjoyed the original Trace Then Color: Cool Stuff, this second book offers more of what made the first one successful. And if you’re just discovering the series, either book is a great entry point.

Trace Then Color: Cool Stuff

Designed to Feel Cute, Not Scary

Snakes can sometimes be portrayed as scary or threatening, but this baby snake was intentionally designed to be the opposite.

The big adorable eyes immediately make the character feel friendly. The single tiny tooth adds personality without making it look dangerous. The coiled pose gives it a soft, rounded silhouette that feels almost plush-like.

This approach makes the Baby Snake Coloring Page especially appealing to younger kids who might otherwise shy away from reptiles.

About How to Draw: Cute Cartoon Animals

The free hippo page comes from How to Draw: Cute Cartoon Animals, a book focused on teaching kids how to draw animals using a friendly, cartoony style. Every animal in the book is broken down into simple steps that follow the same structure.

Why Hippos Work So Well as Cartoon Characters

Hippos might be massive animals in real life, but in cartoon form they’re often drawn as gentle, happy, and slightly goofy. That contrast is part of what makes them so appealing.

When kids learn how to draw a hippo, they get to work with:

• Large rounded shapes
• Simple facial features
• Clear, readable expressions
• Easy-to-balance proportions

The cute cartoon hippopotamus featured on this free page has a soft body shape, a big smile, and friendly eyes. There’s nothing intimidating about it, which helps kids stay relaxed and confident while drawing.

Encouraging Creativity Beyond the Steps

After kids learn how to draw a hippo, many of them want to personalize it. That’s where creativity really starts to show.

Some kids add accessories like hats or scarves. Others change the expression, draw a baby hippo, or place the hippo in a scene with water, grass, or other animals. The step-by-step drawing gives them a solid foundation, but it doesn’t limit imagination.

That balance between structure and freedom is a big part of why this series works so well.

Today’s post features a free drawing page from my book How to Draw: Crusty Goobers, and this one leans hard into the weird. The free page shows how to draw a frightened Crusty Goober, a scared-looking little creature with two eye stalks and a rotund, legless body.

This goober looks like it just realized it wandered into the wrong place at the wrong time. Big eyes, nervous posture, and that classic Crusty Goobers mix of cute and unsettling. It’s a perfect example of what this series is all about.

If you enjoy drawing oddball characters with personality, learning how to draw a frightened Crusty Goober is a great place to start.

The Crusty Goobers Book Series

The Crusty Goobers characters appear across multiple books and formats, all built around the same weird, cartoony world.

The main Crusty Goobers books focus on introducing these creatures and letting kids explore their designs and personalities. From there, the series expands into different drawing formats so kids can learn in the way that works best for them.

What Makes This Crusty Goober Fun to Draw

Crusty Goobers are designed to be simple, expressive, and slightly gross in a fun way. This frightened goober checks all those boxes.

The two eye stalks immediately give the character personality. They let you push expression without relying on complicated facial features. The round, legless body keeps the drawing approachable and beginner-friendly while still feeling unique.

When you learn how to draw a frightened Crusty Goober, you’re really learning how to exaggerate emotion through shape. The fear in this character comes from posture, eye direction, and body language rather than detail overload.

That makes this drawing especially good for kids, beginners, or anyone who wants to loosen up and have fun drawing something weird.

About the Artist

I’m the artist and creator behind the Crusty Goobers series, and I design every character by hand. My goal with these books is simple: make drawing feel fun, approachable, and a little weird.

Crusty Goobers were created as characters that don’t need to look perfect. In fact, the more uneven and strange they look, the better. That takes a lot of pressure off kids who feel like they “can’t draw.”

This frightened goober is a great example of that philosophy. It doesn’t need legs, symmetry, or realism to feel alive. It just needs expression and personality.

Crusty Goobers Drawing Books

Available in Multiple Drawing Formats

In addition to How to Draw: Crusty Goobers, the Crusty Goobers series is also available in:

• Trace Then Color: Crusty Goobers
• Draw by Grid: Crusty Goobers

There are also Crusty Goobers 2 versions of these books, expanding the lineup with even more characters and designs.

Each format serves a different purpose. Trace Then Color is great for beginners who want to build confidence through tracing and coloring. Draw by Grid helps kids learn proportions and observation skills. How to Draw focuses on step-by-step character construction.

No matter the format, the goal is the same: make drawing fun and accessible.

Why This Frightened Goober Works So Well

This specific character is a great introduction to the Crusty Goobers style. The design is simple, but the emotion is clear. Kids immediately understand how the character feels, which makes drawing it more engaging.

Learning how to draw a frightened Crusty Goober also encourages experimentation. Kids can change the expression, add more eye stalks, give it arms, or turn it into an entirely new creature. There are no rules here, and that’s intentional.

That freedom is what keeps kids drawing.

How the Free Drawing Page Works

The free page from How to Draw: Crusty Goobers follows the same step-by-step format as the rest of the book. The drawing starts with very simple shapes and gradually builds into a finished character.

First, the basic body shape is laid out. Then the eye stalks are added, followed by facial details that sell the frightened expression. Each step adds just enough information without making the drawing feel complicated.

Today’s post features a free drawing page from my book Draw by Grid: Baby Robots, and this one might be one of the cutest robots in the whole book. The free page shows how to draw a Baby Bottle Robot, a baby robot designed to look like a classic milk bottle.

This character is simple, playful, and perfect for kids who enjoy robots but may still be building confidence with drawing. By using the grid method, this page makes it easy to draw a Baby Bottle Robot step by step while learning how shapes and proportions work together.

About Draw by Grid: Baby Robots

Draw by Grid: Baby Robots is part of my Draw by Grid series, which focuses on helping kids draw by breaking images into simple sections. This book features a variety of cute baby robot characters, all designed to feel friendly, approachable, and fun to draw.

Each robot in the book starts with a completed grid reference and a blank grid for kids to draw on. The characters are intentionally designed to be cute and expressive, not overly detailed, so kids can focus on learning the process instead of getting frustrated.

The Baby Bottle Robot is a great example of the style used throughout the book. It’s playful, clear, and designed to build confidence through success.

What Is a Baby Bottle Robot?

The Baby Bottle Robot is exactly what it sounds like. It’s a robot character inspired by a baby’s milk bottle, combined with simple robot features like arms, legs, a diaper, and a friendly face. The design is intentionally soft and rounded so it feels cute instead of mechanical or intimidating.

When kids learn to draw a Baby Bottle Robot, they aren’t just copying a picture. They’re learning how to break a character into sections, understand spacing, and recreate an image using visual guides. The grid turns a complex idea into something manageable and fun.

Because the character is based on such a familiar object, kids instantly connect with it. That familiarity makes the drawing process feel less stressful and more playful.

Learn to Draw Baby Robots

How the Draw by Grid Page Works

The free page from Draw by Grid: Baby Robots uses a simple grid system that guides kids through the drawing process. The original drawing is shown on a grid, and kids recreate it square by square on their own blank grid.

This method is especially helpful for beginners. Instead of worrying about the whole drawing at once, kids focus on one small section at a time. That makes learning how to draw a Baby Bottle Robot feel achievable, even for kids who think drawing is hard.

The grid method helps with:

• Understanding proportions
• Improving observation skills
• Building patience and focus
• Increasing drawing accuracy

By the time the drawing is complete, kids often surprise themselves with how good it looks.

Also Available as Trace Then Color

If your child prefers tracing before drawing freehand, this book is also available in the Trace Then Color format. That version allows kids to trace the robot characters first, then color them in.

Tracing helps younger kids or beginners build hand control and familiarity with shapes before moving on to drawing independently. Many families like to use both formats together, starting with Trace Then Color and then moving on to Draw by Grid when kids are ready for a bit more challenge.

Being able to draw a Baby Bottle Robot in multiple ways gives kids more opportunities to learn and practice without pressure.

Why a Unicorn Panda Is So Fun to Draw

One of the reasons I enjoy creating unicorn animal drawings is that they immediately spark creativity. A unicorn panda doesn’t exist in the real world, which means there are no strict rules. Kids don’t feel pressure to make it “accurate,” they just focus on having fun.

When learning how to draw a unicorn panda, kids get to practice:

• Drawing rounded shapes for a soft, cuddly look
• Creating simple facial expressions
• Combining animal features with fantasy elements
• Keeping proportions cute and cartoony

The panda bear base keeps the drawing familiar and friendly, while the unicorn horn adds just enough imagination to make it exciting. This balance helps kids feel comfortable while still encouraging creativity.

How the Free Drawing Page Is Structured

The free page from How to Draw: Unicorn Animals walks through how to draw a unicorn panda using clear, easy-to-follow steps. Like the rest of the book, the drawing starts simple and builds gradually.

First, the panda’s head and body are drawn using basic rounded shapes. These shapes help establish the character without worrying about details too early. Next, the facial features are added in a way that keeps the expression cute and readable. After that, the unicorn horn and ears are introduced, blending naturally into the panda design. Finally, the drawing is cleaned up into a finished cartoon unicorn panda that’s ready to color.

Each step is designed so kids can stop at any point and still feel successful. They can trace, draw along, or try copying the final drawing on a blank page.

• Kids who love unicorns and cute animals

Today’s post features a free drawing page from my book How to Draw: Cartoon Dinosaurs, and this one is all about learning how to draw a Brachiosaurus in a fun, simple, and very kid-friendly cartoon style.

If you’ve ever tried drawing dinosaurs with kids (or even on your own), you know that some dinosaurs can feel intimidating. Long necks, huge bodies, tiny heads, and massive legs can make things feel complicated fast. That’s exactly why I created this book and why I’m sharing this free page. The goal is to break things down so anyone can learn how to draw a Brachiosaurus step by step without feeling overwhelmed.

This free page features a cute cartoon Brachiosaurus designed to be approachable, friendly, and easy to draw. Like everything in the book, it’s built around simple shapes and clear steps, making it perfect for kids, beginners, or anyone who just wants to enjoy drawing dinosaurs for fun.

About How to Draw: Cartoon Dinosaurs

The free page comes from my book How to Draw: Cartoon Dinosaurs, which is part of my larger How to Draw series. This book focuses entirely on making dinosaur drawing approachable and fun.

Inside the book, you’ll find step-by-step tutorials for a wide variety of cartoon dinosaurs. Each one follows the same format as the Brachiosaurus page, so once kids understand the process, they can apply it again and again.

The dinosaurs in the book are drawn in a consistent, friendly cartoon style. They’re not scary or overly detailed. Instead, they’re designed to spark creativity and encourage repetition. Kids can draw them as-is or customize them with colors, patterns, and backgrounds.

If your child loves dinosaurs, this book gives them a way to engage with that interest creatively instead of just passively consuming content.

Why the Brachiosaurus Is a Great Dinosaur to Draw

The Brachiosaurus is one of the most recognizable dinosaurs of all time. With its towering height, long neck, and gentle appearance, it’s often portrayed as a calm, plant-eating giant. That makes it a perfect candidate for cartoon drawing.

When learning how to draw a Brachiosaurus, kids get to practice several important drawing concepts:

• Drawing long curved lines for the neck and tail
• Balancing large shapes with smaller details
• Creating friendly facial expressions
• Keeping proportions simple and readable

Sign up for my free newsletter to get more drawing pages or videos like this right in your inbox! Click here.

In cartoon form, the Brachiosaurus becomes less about realism and more about personality. The version featured in this free page has a rounded body, soft curves, and an expressive face that feels fun instead of intimidating. That’s intentional. The easier and more inviting the character feels, the more likely kids are to keep drawing.

Learn to Draw Dinosaurs

Designed for Kids, Beginners, and Dino Fans

This free page is part of a larger philosophy I use across all my drawing books: make drawing feel doable.

When kids learn how to draw a Brachiosaurus using simple steps, something important happens. They realize that drawing isn’t about talent, it’s about process. You start with shapes, you add details, and before you know it, you’ve drawn a dinosaur.

That mindset shift is huge.

Parents often tell me that once their kids complete one drawing successfully, they immediately want to draw more. Dinosaurs are especially good for this because they’re exciting, familiar, and full of personality. Drawing a cartoon Brachiosaurus can easily turn into drawing a whole herd of dinosaurs, each with its own expression and pose.

This page also works well for:

• Homeschool art lessons
• Classroom drawing activities
• Quiet time or screen-free activities
• Dino-themed learning units
• Kids who think they “can’t draw”

Dinosaur Drawing Book for Kids

Building Confidence Through Repetition

One of the most overlooked benefits of learning how to draw a Brachiosaurus step by step is confidence.

When kids successfully complete a drawing, they feel proud of it. When they draw it again and see improvement, that pride grows. Repetition reinforces skill, but it also reinforces belief in their own abilities.

This is why the drawings in How to Draw: Cartoon Dinosaurs are designed to be redrawn multiple times. The Brachiosaurus, with its simple shapes and friendly design, is especially good for this. Kids often redraw it with different expressions, different sizes, or even add other dinosaurs to the scene.

That kind of experimentation is where creativity really starts to develop.

Step-by-Step Drawing Books

Encouraging Creative Variations

Once kids understand the basic steps for how to draw a Brachiosaurus, the fun really begins. They can start making the drawing their own.

Some kids add spikes or spots. Others draw baby Brachiosauruses or give them silly hats. Some create entire dinosaur worlds with trees, volcanoes, and other prehistoric scenes.

The step-by-step structure gives them a foundation, but it doesn’t limit imagination. Instead, it gives them the confidence to explore new ideas without fear of “doing it wrong.”

That balance between structure and freedom is something I focus on heavily when designing these books.

Why Jellyfish Are Great for Tracing and Coloring

Jellyfish are a fun subject for young artists because they don’t rely on stiff shapes or perfect symmetry. Their tentacles can curve and flow, which makes tracing feel more relaxed and less intimidating.

Using a Jellyfish Coloring Page allows kids to enjoy the process without worrying about getting everything “just right.” That relaxed approach is especially helpful for beginners who are still developing fine motor skills.

Jellyfish also spark imagination. Once kids finish tracing and coloring, many like to add bubbles, ocean plants, or other sea creatures around them.
