Video Transcript

"CRAIG BROWDER: Let's start with this hand. You know, SpongeBob when he's animated, his shirt isn't really in connection with his shirt and he's got like a white sleeves somewhere up in here. So in this, we're going to have him kind of jumping through the air. We're going to put his arms kind of up and out. So we're going to kind of bring it above. There's one of his t-shirt arms and then we'll draw the other--well, let's get this arm up done with and usually his arms are pretty skinny, so, like I said, spin it around to like get the way you want it. I just kind of make him real skinny and then they kind get a little bit bigger when I get to his hands, so. All right. Now, his hands, the best way to do cartoon hands is just draw like a sphere in there or a circle real quick, so you'll get the idea of where it's going at and you could either make it into a fist or whatever it's good way to--so you have like these templates to stay inside, so you're not like drawing a thumb way out here and it's not looking the same as the other fingers. So, and we're going to do, draw the other one and make his hand up here and we're just going like a thumbs up or something. Yeah. All right. Let's make his hand go lively."
