Step 3

Lightly draw three equal-sized ovals or boxes across your paper to make three drawing frames.

Step 4

In the first frame draw Tweety as closely as you can to the reference using pencil.

In the second frame draw Tweety in a different art style (for example more exaggerated or squashed) using pencil.

Step 8

Trace the pencil lines of the second drawing with your black pen to define the new style.

Step 9

Color the second drawing using bolder or different colors to match the new style.

Step 10

In the third frame draw Tweety in a third art style (for example simple shapes or geometric) using pencil.

What can we use if we don't have a black pen or some coloring materials?

If you don't have a black pen, use a fine-tip permanent marker or a dark colored pencil to trace the pencil lines of each drawing, and substitute missing markers or paint with crayons or colored pencils when coloring each frame.

My drawings look squashed or my pen smudges when I trace—what should I do?

If proportions look off, redraw three equal-sized ovals or boxes with a ruler and sketch very lightly while copying the big shapes from the reference, and if your pen smudges, let the ink dry fully and then gently erase pencil marks to keep clean bold outlines.

How can I change the activity for younger or older kids?

For younger children, make the three frames larger and have them focus on copying just the big shapes from the one-minute reference using crayons, while older kids can push the second frame with exaggerated anatomy, add texture and color-mixing in the third geometric style, and write a detailed comparison of how lines, shapes, and colors changed.

How can we extend or personalize the three-style drawing project?

Extend the project by adding unique backgrounds that match each style (painted watercolors for the first, bold brush-pen strokes for the second, collage papers for the third), experiment with mixed media on the same frames, or photograph the process and make a short flipbook or video to share on DIY.org.

Facts about drawing and art styles for kids

✏️ Small changes—like thicker lines, bigger eyes, or a rounder beak—can make Tweety read as younger, older, cuter, or more stylized.

🖼️ Animators use "model sheets" (character reference sheets) to keep a character's proportions and details consistent across many drawings.

🔁 Redraw and style-swap challenges are a popular way artists practice: people redraw the same character in manga, realistic, chibi, pixel, and many other styles to study differences.

🐤 Tweety first appeared in the 1942 Warner Bros. cartoon short "A Tale of Two Kitties."

🎨 Tweety was originally drawn by Bob Clampett with a rougher look, then softened into the cute yellow canary most people know by Friz Freleng.

How do I do the Art Style Check with Tweety step by step?

Start by choosing three art styles (for example: classic cartoon, realistic, and abstract). Find a simple Tweety reference. On separate sheets, lightly sketch Tweety’s basic shapes and proportions. For each style, change line weight, shape simplification, and color choices—use bold outlines for cartoon, softer shading for realism, and geometric shapes for abstract. Color each drawing, label the style, then compare the three: note differences in lines, shapes, colors, and which techniques you lik

What materials do I need for Art Style Check w/ Tweety?

You’ll need plain paper or a sketchbook, pencils and an eraser, fine liners or black pen for outlines, colored pencils/markers/watercolors for color, and a Tweety reference image (printed or on a device). Optional: blending stump or cotton swab for shading, ruler for guidelines, sticky notes for planning variations, and a camera or phone to photograph finished pieces for comparison and sharing.

What ages is the Art Style Check with Tweety suitable for?

This activity works well for ages 4–12, with adjustments. Preschoolers (4–6) can copy simple shapes and pick colors with adult help. Ages 7–9 can try three distinct styles and practice line and color choices. Older children (10–12+) can experiment with shading, proportion, and more abstract styles. Supervise younger kids, and modify complexity and materials to match fine motor skills and attention span.

What are the benefits of doing Art Style Check with Tweety, and any fun variations?

Benefits include improved observation, line control, color mixing, and creative thinking as kids notice how style changes shape and mood. Comparing versions builds vocabulary (bold, delicate, geometric) and critical thinking. Variations: swap Tweety for another character, limit a palette to two colors, try digital drawing, or make a mini gallery to discuss favorites. Use non-toxic materials and supervise water-based paints with young children.
