Let me tell you about two silly characters from the story "Alice in Wonderland" called Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum. They are like two peas in a pod, almost like looking at each other in a mirror!
Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum are two chubby little men who are identical in most ways, except one says "Dee" and the other says "Dum" on their collars. They like to wear schoolboy uniforms with red propeller caps, and when they move, they make a funny honking noise.
These two love to argue and fight over the smallest things. In one story, Tweedle Dum gets really upset because Tweedle Dee breaks his new rattle, and they decide to have a big battle over it. But, just when they're about to start fighting, a huge, scary crow appears, as black as a tar-barrel, and it scares them so much that they forget all about their quarrel.
They also like to tell stories. One time, they told Alice a story about a Walrus and a Carpenter who tricked some little oysters. The Walrus ate all the oysters himself, which made the Carpenter very mad. Alice thought the story was sad, and Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum said there was a moral to it. Alice replied that it was a good moral, but only if you happen to be an oyster.
Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum are known for their playful and jolly personalities, but they can also be a bit annoying because they love to repeat things and argue a lot.
They are a funny part of the Wonderland story and show us that sometimes, it's better to forget our arguments and not get too caught up in small problems. Let's learn how to draw one of them in today's drawing tutorial. And you can draw the other one in nearly the same way!
