Steps To Draw Spongebob
Today in this guide, we will be drawing the character the same as we see on television shows. Preview the picture below for today’s drawing tutorial. Follow the guide carefully; at the end of it, you can draw it perfectly.
Step 1: Outline The Body
Start by drawing a half-rectangle with slightly curved edges to represent the character’s body as shown in the picture.
Step 2: Complete Outlining
From the left side of the half-rectangle you just drew, sketch another smaller rectangle shape extending downwards.
Step 3: Add the Lower Body
Create a smaller rectangle to represent Spongebob pants and leg area. However, don’t draw the line completely of this rectangle because we will add more details later.
Step 4: Draw The Hands
Draw two thin, curved lines extending outward from both sides (left and right) to represent the arms. At the end of the arm, sketch a rounded shape for the hand. Add three fingers and a thumb to the hand, making it look natural.
Step 5: Sketch The Legs
Just below the bottom of the main rectangle, outline two oval shapes to represent SpongeBob’s pants, then draw two parallel lines to extend the legs.
Step 6: Add Shoes
Now, draw small ovals pointing outward from the bottom of each leg. Add curved lines wrapping around the top of the ovals to complete the shoes.
Step 7: Outline Some Details
Add a simple collar around the neck area and draw the base of the tie. Below the tie’s base, draw four small rectangles in a row, as shown in the picture. These rectangles represent the buttons on the Spongebob’s shirt.
Step 8: Sketch Nose And Mouth
Now, draw an oval-shaped nose pointing to the left side. Then, add the curved line below the nose to represent his smile. Inside the mouth draw a W-shaped to represent the tongue, and also add two small rectangular shapes for teeth.
Step 9: Draw The Eyes
Next, draw large, oval-shaped eyes slightly above the nose and spaced apart. Inside each eye, draw a round shape and add a smaller circle for the pupil. Include eyelashes for detail.
Step 10: Add Texture
Finally, complete this drawing by adding tiny holes covering his body to give him a spongy appearance similar to a real sea sponge.
Coloring The SpongeBob
After finishing the drawing, we wanted to add some colors to make it more enjoyable. Here, we have used basic colors, like the real cartoon character.
Color Details:
- Yellow
- Blue
- Red
- Brown
- Black
- Dark Green
We have started by using yellow in the body of the character. A blue color has been used inside his eyes. Maroon color can be seen inside his mouth and pink color has been used fo rhis tongue. We then used a bright red color in his tie and some parts of his shocks.
Continuing the coloring process, we have colored his pants with brown, and we have colored black for the texture. For details in Spongebob’s body, we have used a darker shade of green.
Our Spongebob is now ready in all of its colors. We hope you enjoy the process of coloring as much as drawing. For the coloring part, we have used pencil colors; you can use any of your preferences to make it more fun. We recommend you use pencil colors.
