How to draw Gary the Snail from SpongeBob SquarePants step by step
How to Draw Gary the Snail From SpongeBob SquarePants · tinyhandscreate.com
Step 1: Guide shapes
Lightly sketch this oval. It only shows where the big parts go, so press softly. You will erase it at the end.
Step 2: Head, body and tail
Start at the top right of the head and draw a rounded dome curving to the left. Let the line slide down and bend into a long flat bottom, then finish with a little curl for the tail on the right.
Step 3: The big shell
Draw a big round oval on the right, sitting against the back of the head. Start where the head dome ends and finish where the tail curl begins.
Step 4: The shell swirl
In the middle of the shell, draw a smaller circle. Then add a little filled dot right in the center of it.
Step 5: Eyestalks and face
Draw two short lines that lean a little apart, going up from the top of the head. Then add two small dots for eyes and a tiny curved line for a mouth on the face.
Step 6: Eyeball balls
Draw a round ball on the top of each stalk and color it in solid.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing Gary the Snail from SpongeBob SquarePants
- Draw the big shell first as a round oval, then add the smaller circle and dot inside it. Keep the little circle near the middle so the swirl looks balanced.
- The long body line is the trickiest part. Draw it slowly in one smooth stroke from the head to the tail curl.
- Make the two eyestalks lean slightly away from each other, and keep the balls on top the same size.

Gary the Snail from SpongeBob SquarePants fun fact for kids
A snail's shell is part of its body, and it grows bigger as the snail grows. Snails also move on a layer of slime that helps them glide over rough ground.
