Help!?
What can I use if I don't have a drawing app or colored pencils?
If you don't have a drawing app you can use plain paper with pencil for the sketch and colored markers, crayons, or watercolour paints to colour, then take a clear photo to save and share on DIY.org.
My lines get messy when I trace over the sketch—how can I fix that?
To avoid messy finished lines, let ink dry before erasing pencil marks or, when working digitally, duplicate the sketch layer and trace on a new darker layer so your original sketch stays intact.
How can I change the activity for younger or older kids?
For younger children (about 4–6) simplify by using pre-cut clothing shapes, stickers, and a one-sentence story, while older kids (10+) can add detailed magical symbols, shading, and a full 2–4 sentence backstory before saving their file.
What are some ways to make the character extra special or continue the project?
Extend the activity by making a three-panel mini-comic that shows the character using their magical ability, crafting matching accessories from felt or foam to wear in photos, and uploading the finished character and its 2–4 sentence story to DIY.org for others to see.
