About this book

Step by step drawing with no prep: Volume 2 adds 55 new drawings plus a bonus, and none of them repeat Volume 1. Each drawing is printed at two levels of difficulty, for 112 ready-to-print worksheets.

Every worksheet takes a student through four stages on one page: follow the numbered steps to build the picture, trace the finished picture, draw and color it on their own, then trace and write the word. The same routine as in Volume 1, so students already know what to do and you can switch between the books at any time.

The drawings cover nine themes: animals, bugs and little creatures, sea life, fantasy, vehicles, sports and hobbies, things, nature and food. Farm and forest animals, a fox, a squirrel, a bee and a pumpkin make it easy to match the pages to fall and spring topics.

Two levels of the same drawing

Which level for which student

Level 1 is for students who are new to step by step drawing. The picture is built in four steps, the new lines are black and the part already drawn is light gray, and a light gray starting shape is printed in the drawing box.

Level 2 is for students who already follow steps with confidence. The same picture is built in five to eight steps, and the drawing box is empty.

The whole class can draw the same picture while each student gets the level that fits. Every worksheet is marked Level 1 or Level 2 in the top right corner.

Questions about this book

What makes these step by step drawing worksheets different?

Each picture comes at two levels, so the whole class can work on the same drawing. And the page does not end with the drawing: students also trace and write the word, so every worksheet adds handwriting practice.

Can I match Volume 2 to fall and spring units?

Yes. Farm and forest animals, a fox, a squirrel, a bee and a pumpkin make it easy to match the pages to fall and spring topics.

What will I receive?

A printable PDF file: 115 pages with 112 worksheets, a teacher page and a two-page illustrated contents. No physical book is shipped.

What is the difference between Level 1 and Level 2?

Level 1 shows the drawing in four steps and prints a light gray starting shape in the drawing box. Level 2 shows the same drawing in five to eight steps and leaves the box empty. Use them together in one class, or start with Level 1 and move to Level 2 during the year.

Do I need a color printer or any prep?

No. Every page is black and white and copies well. Choose a drawing, print the level you need and hand it out. Students need a pencil and colored pencils or crayons.

Can I print on A4 paper?

Yes. Buying on this site, you choose US Letter or A4, and each file is laid out for its paper size so nothing is cut off at the edge.

Can I share the file with other teachers?

One purchase covers one teacher and that teacher's students, including printing for the class year after year. Each additional teacher needs their own copy. You may share pages with your own students on a password-protected platform such as Google Classroom.

Do I need Volume 1 first?

No. Each volume stands on its own. The page layout and the two levels are the same, and no drawing repeats, so the volumes work in any order.
