How to Draw the Eyes of SpongeBob SquarePants

Video Transcript

"CRAIG BROWDER: And then we'll try to decide where his pants are going to start, his shirt's going to start. So, this is kind of just a reference, just to think about where it might be, thinking about how his head might look or the size of it. So we'll just going to throw in some lines here I'll say and here might be good somewhere. On these--these are all just kind of guidelines at this point, alright. So there we go, we've got the starting with the outline and his feet will come out here and his arms will be out here but to start with it. Let's see, what can we do next? Then we can decide what kind of faces he have, we can--either like the big eyes type or the--give him the mad eyes. There's a bunch of different ways to draw eyes, I mean as far like drawing cartoons because there's tons of different ways to do this but the best way is to either just reference picture or look at something, go look at other--how they draw their characters or whatever. You'll get the idea. It's really simple stuff when it comes down to it so. Let's start with--let's start with his eyes. So remember how I told you to practice these oval shapes--get these oval shapes down so you could--I'm doing them real quick, these basically what SpongeBob's eyes are. It's basically just one of these guys. So we're going to do that and we're going to make them really big so it looks like he's really excited. There's one eye and we'll make them a little bit different looking than normally if he--you can also do it like points that you say you don't want the eye coming over here too much, maybe I'd put it--maybe this eye's too big, maybe we'll bring it back a bit. So, there's one and then we'll draw the other. So say we got two spheres."
