It's fun to see how Spongebob has developed over the years! I remember watching the very first episode when it debuted on Nickelodean! I've been watching ever since, and I'm 20 years old now! Spongebob will always be one of my most beloved cartoons

I can't even find the words to express how I feel at the moment. Spongebob has brought so many good laughs into my life. I hope that made sense lol
But I'm going to school this fall for graphic design...and...it's crazy.
I really admire your style!!! And thanks for the memories!!! I wish I could explain myself better XD

How does SpongeBob blow bubbles in special shapes?

What? Haven't you seen the technique?

First lift your leg. Spin around, stop! Double-take three times. Then pelvic thrust! Stop on your right foot, DON'T FORGET IT!! Then, bring it around town. Then bounce on your butt, O shape, triangle, swirly, etc. and then, blow!

That is so cute! And I LOVE the bubbles.
Did you use a digital tablet to do the inking/coloring, or a laptop trackpad, or a computer mouse, or what?!
Still. The dimensions are beautiful and the picture is REALLY cute!

I cannot tell you how much I enjoy this series, and a large part of that is the fun, dynamic artwork. The poses and facial expressions are truly priceless.

Awesome work! I appreciate the back history you gave, very inspirational. I found your work on cartoonsnap.com and was blown away with your vector work. The tutorial helped me alot with my own work.

I agree with the comment on the coloring of the bubbles! I've always really liked the colors that are used for them in Spongebob universe, it really makes them look like bubbles!

Thanks for posting this here, this is really helpful info for the bubbles I'm painting in a project I'm working on! (Although I could just get it off your blog too
The coloring quality sure has progressed since ArtRage...SpongeBob's great with solid colors, but even better painted!
