Learning how to draw Tweety Bird gets easy when you start with a step by step tutorial. It’s easy to turn him into a Valentine card, if you tuck a small heart under his wing.
Tweety (also known as Tweety Pie and Tweety Bird) is a yellow canary in the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series. He made his first appearance in 1942 in “A Tale of Two Kitties”, directed by Bob Clampett, but was not paired with Sylvester The Cat until five years later. The 1947 cartoon “Tweetie Pie” pitted them against each other for the first time. The cartoon, which won an Academy Award, was the start of many short cartoons to come.
This Tweety tutorial is perfect for young artists as he is made from some very symmetrical simple shapes that are easy to draw. The oversized head is also a good lesson about proportion, as animals with large heads will always have a cute baby-like quality to them.

Materials for How to Draw Tweety Bird
- Eraser. Large ones you can hold in your hand do a much better job than just the pencil tips.
- Black Sharpie Marker. These fine point permanent marker pens make nice black outlines, have a good tip for coloring, and never bleed when they get wet. Use them with good ventilation and add extra paper underneath to protect your tables.
- Prang Crayons. These are a bit softer than other crayons so they sometimes look like oil pastels. They also have a some nice brown shades that Crayola does not have unless you buy their larger boxes.
- Crayola Crayons. The reliable brand that always works well. The 24 pack has some of my favorite golden orange and yellow colors that seem a bit richer and warmer than the ones Prang has.
