Draw Tweety in three different art styles and compare results, practicing sketching, coloring, and observing changes in line, shape, and color.



Step-by-step guide to draw Tweety in three different art styles
Step 1
Gather all your materials and put them on a clear flat table so you are ready to draw.
Step 2
Look at the reference image of Tweety for one minute and notice the big shapes lines and colors.
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.
Step 5
Trace the pencil lines of the first drawing with your black pen to make clean bold outlines.
Step 6
Color the first drawing to match the reference using your coloring materials.
Step 7
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.
Step 11
Trace the pencil lines of the third drawing with your black pen to finish the outlines.
Step 12
Color the third drawing using colors and techniques that suit the third style.
Step 13
Look at all three drawings and say or write down how the lines shapes and colors changed between each style.
Step 14
Share your finished creation on DIY.org.

Help!?
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.
