"How NOT to Draw: Kiff" is a short in Disney's How NOT to Draw series. It stars Kiff Chatterley.
A "Halfway There Day" version featuring the animatic and final versions of the short played side by side was released on July 2, 2023, coinciding with that year's Halfway There Day.
Synopsis[]
When Kiff Chatterley is brought to life, she shows an overly serious animator how to loosen up through a series of silly games.
Plot[]
An animator presents viewers with step-by-step instructions on how to draw Kiff. While being drawn, Kiff speaks with the animator and encourages him to loosen up, repeatedly interrupting his tutorial by playing around and engaging the animator in various games. Eventually, the animator manages to get Kiff to stay still by playing a game of freeze tag with her, allowing him to finally finish drawing her.

- Kiff: Psych! [laughs]
- Animator: Start with her eyes, nose, and mouth.
- Kiff: Hello, world!
- Animator: Then carefully draw her head.
- Kiff: You seem a little tense. Let's loosen up!
- Animator: Wait, an unfinished drawing might—
- Kiff: Okay, too loose.
- Animator: As an artist, it's important to always take your work seriously.
- Kiff: I agree! And today, our work is having fun.
- Animator: Let's sketch the rest of Kiff's body.
- Kiff: Ta-da!
- Animator: When drawing Kiff's tail, model sheets can be used for reference to ensure it's drawn exactly right.
- Kiff: Or not!
- Animator: Wait, stop!
- Kiff: Relax! Look what we can do now! Yee-haw!
- Animator: Ouch.
- Kiff: Oops! Sorry.
- Animator: Now let's finish the drawing with her tail.
- Kiff: Okay, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. You gotta see this. It's a magic trick! You're gonna love it. Grab this cup...
- Animator: [sighs] I suppose at times, you may have to briefly humor your drawing.
- Kiff: And now for some magic words. Shibbidy boppidy, shibbidy boppidy, shibbidy boppidy, squirrel!
- Animator: Kiff, you're obviously still under— Huh? W–Where'd you go?

- Animator: How'd she do that?
- Kiff: Yoo-hoo!
- Animator: [laughs]
