how to draw spongebob

Spongebobs are one of the favorite cartoon characters and children love to draw them. With the following the instructions you can also easily learn how to draw spongebob characters. However, you can add your imagination and drawing skill to draw the characters more attractive.

1. The basic shape of the spongebob cartoon is cubic. So, start off your lesson on how to draw spongebob characters by drawing a cube, slightly tilted towards the back. The sides of the rectangles that you draw inside the cube need not be same or perfectly straight. If you closely observe the spongebob cartoons you can see that the face is slightly bended towards one side. As the cubic shape is drawn from a side viewing angle, in most of the figures, the main frame of the drawing includes two sides of the face or body- front, and left or right side.
2. In the middle of a square (the square that you want to make the face of the cartoon), draw lines to make the framework for drawing eyes, nose and mouth. These gridlines help you decide the position of different parts of the face. However, make sure that you draw these lines with a pencil and light marks so that you can erase the lines after you finish drawing the facial elements of the cartoon. Now, follow the lines to make big round eyes, a funny long nose and a big mouth. Draw a big smile with the mouth wide open, two big teeth and a tongue. Don’t forget to add pupils and eyelashes to the eyes.
3. Now, it’s time to draw hands and legs of the spongebob. Draw four slightly curved rectangles or triangles- two on both sides and two on bottom- to the main sponge shape. Draw the hands from the small rectangles or triangles that you have drawn on both sides of the face. You can sketch straight or L-shaped arms with palms and fingers at the end. Also you can add the accessory to the arms if you want the spongebob holding something. Draw the legs depending on what the character is doing in the sketch.
4. Clothes become an important part of drawing spongebob characters and that include drawing shirt, pant, tie, and socks. Make his shirt, collars and tie below the face. Draw the shoes by adding round shapes or triangles to the legs. Also, by drawing single or double lines below its knees you can make socks. Draw its belt on the waist line as small rectangles.
5. As you are about to finish the sketch, at this point, you can erase the unwanted lines that you have drawn earlier to mark the frame of its face.
6. The last but most important part of drawing spongebob character is adding spongebob holes. While drawing the pores on his body, remember that the shapes and sizes shouldn’t be same. If you can give the circles slightly unevenness by drawing wavy lines, it will look better.
7. As you are almost done with your drawing, you can think of adding your creativity at this point. Personalize your drawing by adding different types of clothes and shoes to the spongbob. You can also add colors to different parts of the sketch. Also, you can draw the spongebob in standing, walking or running positions. Spongebob characters look great when they are sketched as running with great joy.
