In this creative guide, I’m gonna take you through the basics of how to draw Spongbob. So, grab a pencil and some paper, and let’s get to work!
Drawing The Basics
The key to drawing a fantastic Spongbob is sketching the right proportions. Start by drawing Spongbob’s iconic square body shape, making sure that each side is of the same size. To make the body look more natural, draw a small hump in the middle of the top and bottom part. Then draws two oval eyes, a long nose, 2 curved lines for eyebrows, and a big mouth with an arch above it. Now draw two pairs of lines on the sides of the body to make Spongbob’s arms and legs.
Making It Pop
Now it’s time to give the drawing a bit of personality and flair. To make things more interesting, draw a circle within a circle for each of Spongbob’s eyes and give him a wide, goofy smile. Add a few triangular spikes to top of the body to make Spongbob’s signature hairdo. To give your creation some depth and dimension, draw a set of curved lines on top of each arm and leg. For extra pizzazz, draw two dots around each eye and four small lines above the mouth to resemble freckles.
Adding Color
Now that you have the sketch done, it’s time to spice it up by adding a splash of color. Start by coloring the body yellow and adding a light pink tint around the edges of the arms and legs. Then, add a bright red to the mouth and make sure to fill in the eyes with a deep, dark shade of brown. To further bring Spongbob to life use a light blue for the pupils and a ski blue for the spikes.
Sharpening The Details
The final step is to sharpen up the details. Sharpen up the lines and shapes of the body, arms and legs. Use a black marker to outline all the features. You can add some extra detailing by creating small dots around the eyes, nose and mouth to resemble pores and a few more lines for the eyebrows. Finally, give the drawing a bright touch by adding some white highlights on top of the yellow body.
Finishing Touches
Your Spongbob drawing is almost complete! All you need now are some finishing touches. Add a few stars around the edges of the drawing to give it a dreamy ocean feel. To make things even more wacky and unique, you can draw a few stars and clouds around the body. You can also add a few items of clothing like a bowtie or a pair of shorts, to complete the look. Once you’re happy with your artwork go ahead and give it Spongbob’s iconic wide smile, and you’re all done!
Bringing Your New Creation To Life
Now that you have a fabulous looking Spongbob, it’s time to make it come to life! Have fun by taking some silly selfies with his fun new facial expressions, or plan an awesome underwater adventure with your favorite cartoon character. What’s more, you can even frame your creation and hang it up on the wall to show off your creative talents. With some patience and practice, you too can create the perfect drawing of everyone’s favorite underwater friend.
