Draw Sheldon J. Plankton from SpongeBob SquarePants
Fan of SpongeBob SquarePants? Using these easy steps, learn to draw Mr. Krabs' nemesis and owner of the Chum Bucket: Plankton!
Steps
- For his body, draw a pickle-like shape (as shown). Add in guidelines, one long vertical and a couple of short horizontals where his eyes and mouth will be.
- Draw a large oval for the eyeball. Inside that, draw a circle for Plankton's pupil. Sketch in his single eyebrow.
- Give him a smile and add in his antennae. Each antenna should have four notches that go a bit outside the lines of the antennae. Draw thin ovals for Plankton's arms and legs.
- Outline and color in your drawing. There you have it--Sheldon J. Plankton himself!
Alternate Method
- Draw a large vertical oval. It should look like a seed, or an especially long egg. This will serve as Plankton's body.
- Above the oval, draw antennae on either side of Plankton's head. These should point outwards, and almost look like long, curved fangs coming out of his head.
- Draw the hands and legs. On each side of the middle of the body, draw a tubular shape with a circle at the end. Under the body oval draw two "V" shapes.
- Sketch the face features on the body oval. Draw a big circle in the upper part of the oval. This will be Plankton's eye. Under the circle draw a dropped "D" shape. This will be the mouth.
- Outline the body shape over the sketch and add in details. Draw the eye with and iris, an eyebrow above the eye, cheeks, and Plankton's teeth/tongue inside the mouth.
- Line the drawing with black ink and add color. Try to make a modular line, which passes from a thin to a thick line and vice versa. Finally, erase any remaining pencil marks and color your Plankton as shown.
Tips
- Be sure you have an eraser with you AT ALL TIMES.
- Draw lightly in pencil so that you can easily rub out mistakes.
- Pencils that you don't need to sharpen work best because the lead is the same size throughout the whole drawing.
