How To Draw Stuff
Something cool with this particular character, is the randomness involved in two parts - the curvy perimeter of the sponge, and the greenish 'sponge
holes' that come near the very end. If you look at a picture of Spongebob, you'll see that there are relatively few greenish spots - but sometimes they
can change in shape and number between images. With the curvy lines, I went a little bit 'freestyle' in the way I drew them. Looking at a picture
though - you can get yours looking closer to 'bang-on'.
And - now that the core part of Spongebob's complete, it's on to the rest of him... his limbs and any remaining details.
Here's how to draw the rest of Spongebob...

One of the neat things about drawing Spongebob like this - straight on, and with a fairly generic, content expression, is that it's easy to make some
subtle changes next time through - having already drawn him in a fairly basic way. An example of this would be when you draw his mouth so that it's
open. His cheeks would 'raise up' when he has a big smile, and you'd want to draw two arcs at either end of his mouth - each one slightly
overlapping his lower outer eye.
And now - let's take a look at what Spongebob looks like completed...
The grey horizontal lines are important in that they mark off those areas where A - his arms connect, and B - where his 'four
squiddish legs' connect. Looking at a reference picture of the character, this is easy enough to do.
OK then. Framework in hand, let's draw!!!!!!!!!!
The blue vertically-aligned ovals that you see beneath the head circle are actually the angel's hands as they come
together in a praying position. This is not to imply that your angel's hands should look ovular, but it does help to guide you as
you draw them - however you intend them to look.
Of course - you may wish to take a different route. See if you can change the structure to best suit the 'look' you're going
for.
OK, let's draw now...
Looking at the finished version - you can see that it's pretty generic. You can do all sorts of little things to change yours up.
For example... change the feathers to be more curved and less pointy.... give your bird more of a neck and a smaller head...
smaller eyes... add some details for feathers... lots of ideas come to mind!
And that's that. I hope you enjoyed this lesson. :-)
