The story begins when [[Heather]] (a recurring character from the previous game) has a nightmare about [[Wilfre]] returning and possessing [[Mari]] to help him drain all the color. She wakes up in [[Jowee]]'s cabin soon walking out with her [[Pendant]] in her hands. She then goes to the [[Hidden Beach]] and finds a treasure chest, which opens, allowing Wilfre to return from the dead by taking over Heather's body.

The next morning Jowee and Mari find out she is gone. They decide to call on [[Creator|The Creator]] to draw them another [[Hero|Creation Hero]] in order to rescue her. However, before they can draw one, the color drains from the [[Creation Hall]], as well as the village around it. Wilfre soon reveals himself and uses his newly gained [[Wilfre's Scepter|Scepter]] to drain the color from the village and make portals to take the citizens to other villages. The remaining Raposa (Jowee, Mari, [[Pirate Beard]], [[Mike]], [[Isaac]], [[Crazy Barks]] and [[Cindi]]) attempt to sail away in the pirate ship but are unfortunately stopped by a unknown thief who sails away on it.

The Creator then sends them the [[Turtle Rock]] to sail around the world and rescue the villagers. The Hero is soon drawn, who defends the Raposa from a [[Baki]] infestation, as well as finding Heather's Pendant after Jowee loses it. The Raposa soon discover that the pendant is linked to their map, and shows them where to go. The map shows them a nearby island which Pirate Beard spends a night sailing to.

Rose, ashamed of of her vanity, tells Mari she will pass it on to Miles at her final festival, as she doesn't believe she is worthy to be the mayor anymore. She requests them to not attend the party so it will be less hard on Miles. Jowee and Mari argue whether it is the right choice to give up her life; Mari believes it is, but Jowee does not.

Rose sings "[[Light of My Life]]" at her final festival, attempting to pass on her voice to Miles, but The Creator doesn't allow her to, claiming "more is still needed" from her. Shortly afterwards, Salem breaks into the courtyard attempting to murder them -- until The Hero comes stopping him along with Jowee and Mari. Salem soon reveals he was just a disguise of Wilfre's, who really wanted to destroy Watersong. Wilfre then releases the legendary pirate [[Baki Beard]] onto the village, whose plans are soon stopped when The Hero runs onto his ship and defeats him. The Raposa of Turtle Rock are celebrated, and head back to continue the adventure.

Moe explains that his brother was originally a kind and helpful mayor, but after Wilfre showed up disguised as Salem, he manipulated Miney, who went mad with power, enslaving the village to find Banya Crystals alongside powerful robots named the [[Robosa]]. Moe tells them that the inventor of the Robosa, [[Key]], got stuck in the eastern area of the village, and might know how to shut them down. He then allows them to take the train there.

They ask the messenger of the law, [[Click]], to take them there. Click hesitates at first claiming to see the council, residents must show help to them.

The Hero goes off to save one of the council's [[S.P.U.D.]] Rangers who, in reality, is a [[Baki]] dressed up as a ranger.

After fighting the King and Queen, the three discover that the S.P.U.D. were lying about Click, who was really pretending to be the Council as a replacement for the previous mayor, who died without an heir. The villagers soon see that Click was only trying to protect them and elect him as the mayor. The team go back to the Turtle Rock.

The game then shows paintings revealing The Raposa World was linked to an event that happened in the [[Human]] realm, where Mike was revealed to be Heather's younger sibling and Heather is revealed to be a Human, not a Raposa. Their family won dolls of Mari and Jowee at a carnival, and on their way back home, their car crashed and rolled into a ditch, putting Mike into a coma and killing his parents, transporting him into the Raposa realm and somehow bringing the Raposa Heather to the realm as well. If Wilfre had succeeded in draining all the color, then Mike would have remained comatose and the Raposa would stay alive; if the Creator won, then Mike would wake up, causing the Raposa and their world to disappear. Since the Creator ends up winning, Mike wakes up in the hospital, reuniting with Heather in the Human realm, whose left side of her face is bandaged from the accident.

In ''[[Drawn to Life Collection]]'', the ending cinematic was changed due to a ratings complaint. In this ending, two siblings, again Heather and Mike, are playing outside catching fireflies. Mike climbs a tree in pursuit of one of the fireflies but the limb he is standing on breaks, causing him to fall. He lies unresponsive on the ground for a few moments until he wakes up unharmed after his mother and Heather pray for him. Like the original ending, Mari and Jowee dolls can be seen in the final frame.

Like the original game, ''Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter'' received "Mixed or Average" reviews, based on 21 total reviews, albeit more positive than the original game. Many critics complimented the expansion of the first game's concept, visual style and more refined gameplay and story, whilst criticism was skewed towards the levels' short length and the core platforming still being considered rather basic.
 
 
===Awards===
 
The game was awarded "Best Platformer" for the DS line of IGN's Overall Best of E3 2009 Awards<ref>[https://www.ign.com/articles/2009/06/10/nintendo-ds-best-of-e3-2009 IGN Best of E3 2009 Awards (DS)]</ref>.
 
 
===Sales===
 
Sales numbers of the game are rather obscure, but according to THQ's fiscal year report, the game sold over 1 million copies<ref>[https://last10k.com/sec-filings/thqi/0001047469-10-005774.htm THQ Fiscal Annual Report, March 2010]</ref>. However, with the [[Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter (Wii)|Wii counterpart]] selling more units and the versions not specified, it is speculated that the units of both are combined.
 
 
=={{Icon|Forest}} Beta==
 
As with any form of entertainment, and especially with video games, many things were planned to be a part of this game, but were not implemented in the final release. A compilation of unused and removed features from this game can be found [[Unused & Removed Features/DTL2|here]].

Other region may use different codes).

* The Instruction Manuals for this game and its [[Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter (Wii)|Wii counterpart]] are both stylized to look like the [[Book of Life]].
* In the UK, THQ worked with a number of primary schools to trial using both versions of Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter to help engage kids in art.<ref>https://www.mcvuk.com/business-news/publishing/drawn-to-life-conquers-the-classroom/</ref>
 
** A competition was also held to get participants' Heroes displayed on a billboard advertising the game, with ten regions represented.
 
* Much like the [[Drawn to Life|original game]], the Australian release was also commemorated with a competition, this time involving contestants to draw their own Hero via a flash-based demo of this game's [[Draw Mode]], followed by a [[Action Draw Jumper|short platforming game]] based on the [[Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter (Wii)|Wii counterpart]].
 
** The winning prize was a Nintendo DSi for themselves and everyone in their class, and a copy of the latter version.
 
* In the German localization, the game's title changes from ''"Drawn to Life: Mal-Held sein"'' for ''"[[Drawn_to_Life]]"'', to simply ''"Der magische Stift"'' (The magic pen) for ''"Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter"''. Due to this change it became fairly unclear, to those unfamiliar with the first game, that ''"Der magische Stift"'' is in fact a sequel.
 
* In ''The Art of 5thCell'', Joe Tringali says, “The original ending for ''Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter'' was purposely done in a different style from the game, to reinforce the real world vs. the imagined world…”
 
* According to both Jeremiah Slaczka<ref>https://youtu.be/EoxNnnrowm4?t=339</ref> and the story of [[Drawn to Life: Two Realms]], the modified ending of The Next Chapter is not canon.
 
** Despite both later having doubts about The Next Chapter's age rating, the original ending was approved by both [[THQ]] and the ESRB prior to release.
 
*** Furthermore, [[5th Cell]] had little involvement in the modified ending.
