/04 — Before you print

Three settings
worth checking.

Actual size

Choose “Actual size” or “Fit to page”, never “Scale to fit media” — that one crops the drawing at the edges without telling you.

100 gsm or more

Plain copier paper is fine for pencils. Markers need at least 100 gsm, ideally 120, or the colour comes through onto the next sheet.

No draft mode

Economy and draft settings thin the lines until alcohol markers escape through them. Print these at normal quality, black ink only.

/05 — About these sheets

Sleepy Cats, slowly.

A cat is the easiest thing in the world to draw badly and one of the hardest to draw asleep. The line has to describe a shape with no bones in it. Every cat on these twelve sheets is drawn from the same principle — one continuous outline for the body, separate closed shapes for the paws and the ear insides, nothing hatched.

That matters when you colour them. A tabby is not achieved with shading; it is achieved by leaving the base coat pale and adding stripes as separate strokes over the top, and you can only do that if nothing underneath is fighting you. There is no grey anywhere on these sheets for exactly that reason.

The settings do half the work. A cat in a hammock is a cat plus a garden. A cat on a post office counter is a cat plus twenty small parcels and a set of scales. If the cat is the reason you printed the page, the room around it is what keeps you there for the second hour.

The mini pack is twenty more of these at a lower price than the full collections, because it is meant as the sheet you buy for someone else.

/06 — Questions

Asked often.

Are these suitable for children?

Very. The cats are simple enough for a child to colour and the backgrounds are detailed enough for an adult to enjoy the same sheet.

Why is the cat pack cheaper?

It is a mini pack — twenty scenes rather than forty. Same line weights, same paper sizes, same licence.

Can I colour one and post it online?

Please do. Credit to cocoalines.online is appreciated and never required.

Do you have dogs?

A few appear in the cozy corner and fireplace sheets. A dog collection is on the list.
