I keep remembering Plankton as a waddling head...

I love how when your how writing about Planktons hands, he has a slight reaction to mitten hands and a bigger one to fingers. anyway its so cool you got to work on Spongebob, when it was still good that is...

I am delighted to be able to see all these drawings of yours. Somehow it is satisfying to know that Carvel cake decorating did not destroy you plus I assume you are still tooling around in that VW bus. RICK

3 fingers and a thumb is the creepiest thing ever about cartoons.
if someone in real live would have 4 fingers I would scream and run away

Okay, seeing this in my inbox is CRAZY 'cause I was just drawing Plankton two nights ago. I was watching Spongebob and pausing on various scenes to help me draw the little guy better. It was so random, but then I see this in my inbox.

If you're stalking me, just confess.

It would be awesome if you can check out my stuff, I have a lot of spongebob sketches and it would be great to get feedback from you. Any tips would be great!

I did a doodle of Plankton at work once and yeah, I did think he was an oval.

Now I'll remember, he's a capsule

The hand thing alone has potential. XD

that's pretty good. I always think it must be quite a bit difficult constantly trying to keep it as on-model as possible!

I love Plankton! He's my favorite character(villian wise). I love when Spongebob steps on him and he yell's "OWWW! You twit!"

I remember getting a how to draw book for Spongebob characters back in 2004 (I was only 9 then!). THIS is way more informative! Haha! Thanks for showing these things.
