Kids use their imaginations to create a cartoon fight scene. We’ve included a free printable to help kids brainstorm ideas and practice sketching. This project is perfect for home or classroom use.
Why Draw a Cartoon Fight Scene?
Drawing in an animated style gives kids an opportunity to play and exaggerate their ideas. In this project kids are free to create scenes from their own imagination. By drawing a fight scene, kids practice drawing proportions, action, and emotions. This activity also encourages each child to create a storyline for the scene which could lead to future projects.

Use this quick printable to help kids get their creativity flowing. This handout is a great way for kids to brainstorm ideas and sketches before working on their final project.
Directions to Make a Cartoon Fight Scene Art Project
Step 1
Have kids brainstorm ideas by completing the questions at the top of the printable.
- Where is the fight taking place?
- What items are fighting?
- What are they fighting about?
- What tools are they using?
Step 2
Once kids have answered the top questions, they are ready to create practice sketches. Using their answers from Step 1, kids sketch multiple characters that might be involved in the fight scene.
Notice how the simple stick figures at the bottom of the page are drawn to convey both actions and emotions. Encourage kids to use similar techniques with their own drawings. Kids are to complete full character drawings, not stick figure renditions.
Step 3
When kids have completed a few character sketches, have them select their favorites. Taking a blank sheet of paper, kids draw and color these main characters and their fight scene. Remind kids to reference back to the original questions for adding a background and details into the drawing.
