How to draw Patrick Star from SpongeBob SquarePants step by step
How to Draw Patrick Star From SpongeBob SquarePants · tinyhandscreate.com
Step 1: The pointy head
Draw a tall, curved arch like an upside-down U with a rounded top. Leave the bottom open, because the arms will connect there.
Step 2: The left arm
On the left side, start at the left end of the head and draw a curve that goes out to the left, rounds over, and sweeps down into a rounded tip.
Step 3: The right arm
Do the same on the right side. Start at the right end of the head and draw a matching curve that goes out, rounds over, and sweeps down.
Step 4: Sides and feet
Under each arm, draw a slightly bumpy line going straight down for the side of the body. At the bottom of each line, curl the end into a small rounded foot, like a hook.
Step 5: The shorts
Draw a gentle curve across the body from the left side to the right side for the top of the shorts. Then, near the bottom, draw a wavy line with a small dip in the middle, from side to side, to show the legs of the shorts.
Step 6: The eyes
In the middle of the head, draw two small filled-in ovals side by side. Leave a little space between them.
Step 7: Eyebrows
Above each eye, draw a short slanted dash. Tilt the two dashes toward each other so he looks friendly.
Step 8: The happy smile
Below the eyes, draw a small curved line like a little smile. Keep it short and gentle so he looks happy.
All done!
Go over your lines with a marker, then color it in.

Tips for drawing Patrick Star from SpongeBob SquarePants
- Draw the head as a tall arch first. If the tip comes out a little round, that is perfect, because Patrick is not sharp.
- Make both arms about the same size. Draw the left one, then look at it while you draw the right one.
- Place the eyes close together in the middle of the head, with a little space between them. That makes Patrick look sweet and a little silly.
