About this book

Trace Then Color: Alien Cyborgs – A Drawing Adventure with 50 Unique Characters to Trace and Color!

Enter a world of wires, tentacles, and galactic gadgets with Trace Then Color: Alien Cyborgs—a hands-on drawing book packed with 50 original cartoon hybrid characters, combining the strangest aliens and the coolest robots your imagination can handle.

Whether you're a kid who loves space creatures, a fan of futuristic machines, or just someone who likes weird, creative characters, this book gives you the perfect mix of sci-fi fun and art practice. Every page features a bold, unique alien cyborg character ready to be traced, colored, and brought to life with your creativity.

What Is a Trace Then Color Book?

If you’ve never tried one of our Trace Then Color books before, here’s how it works:

Each page gives you a full black-line drawing of a character, placed directly above a lighter, traceable version of the same design. Your job is to trace the character below, one line at a time, and then color it however you like.

This process helps develop pencil control, build confidence, and give kids (and adults!) the structure they need to complete cool-looking drawings—without starting from scratch.

What Makes This Book Special?

  • 50 Original Alien Cyborgs – No copy-paste designs here. Every page features a brand-new character designed by the artist. You’ll find mechanical bug-eyed explorers, laser-eyed creatures, jet-boosted jellyfish cyborgs, armored blob bots, and more. Each one has its own personality and weird robotic twist.
  • Easy to Use for All Ages – Designed primarily for kids ages 6–12, this book also works great for teens, adults, or anyone who enjoys quirky sci-fi artwork. Tracing is a gentle entry point for learning to draw, and even experienced artists can use it as a fun warm-up.
  • No Drawing Experience Needed – The Trace Then Color format is beginner-friendly. If your child (or you!) likes to draw but struggles with confidence or doesn’t know where to start, tracing is a fantastic way to practice lines, shapes, and proportions—without frustration.
  • Encourages Creativity and Focus – Tracing gets kids to slow down and observe the details in each drawing. Once they’ve traced the image, they can color it however they want—or even add their own details, backgrounds, or wild sci-fi upgrades.
  • Screen-Free, Skill-Building Fun – Looking for a quiet activity that doesn’t involve a screen? This book makes a great rainy-day project, road trip companion, or creative break from digital distractions.
