How To properly Draw Bart Simpson : The Simpsons

YT: "Do you wanna know how to draw Bart Simpson....the easy way? My buddy Chance Raspberry was kind enough to do a Bart Simpson drawing tutorial. He works on "The Simpsons" series.

Step-by-Step Guide on How to draw Bart Simpson:
Let's start drawing Bart. His head is sort of like the shape of a soda can. So get that shape down first. You want to draw really strong solid shapes.
And then his neck is kind of like a can of tuna, flat and wide. And then once you get those two shapes drawn you're basically going to draw the center line for his head and then do another line about the same distance from the side of his head. And that's going to tell you where his eyes go in just a little bit.

Then you're going to cut his head in half and that will tell you where the top of his eye goes and then from that middle center point to the bottom, cut that in half. And now we can see where his eyes go. And so you're just going to block that in. Go ahead and put that other eye in there. And then, see what we've done now, is created an entire grid for his face.

So because we've got this eye line here I know that his nose is cut in half by that eye line and his ear is starting just below that eye line and ends about right where his neck needs to end at the bottom of his head. So now to get Bart's hair we'll just go ahead and draw a guideline for his hair and Bart had exactly nine spikes on the top of his head.

So the to do it is we get those two hair spikes on the outside first, draw the one in the middle, and then we draw the hair spikes in between those just keeping them equal distance from one another equally spread apart. And then we just fill in the gaps. And then you get nine equally spaced spikes.

Next we're going to go ahead and add in his eyebrow. Look at the bottom of his head. The lip is about the same thickness as his eyebrow. Go ahead and add the details of his ear and complete those eyes. And let's go ahead and add his pupils, which by the way you can draw a line about half way through the eyes. And that's pretty much Bart Simpson.

So once you've got his head drawn the rest is pretty simple. Or I guess I should just say that the head is the most difficult part. We're going to continue that center line down his neck and into his chest. And then we're going to draw kind of like an upside down light bulb shape just like Homer.

Next, draw the characters legs and arms; make sure to bend them ever so slightly. Just give a little bow and that will create a more life like feel so they're not so stiff. So once you've got that figured out you can just kind of block in his shoes.
Keep your drawing rough and loose right now; you'll come back later and clean it up. It doesn't have to be clean as your figuring out the shapes. And this will actually help you in the long run. Go ahead and draw almost upside down tea cups for sleeves. Again you want to give his arms more a little bow into them. And his hand pretty much comes down to where the bottom of his stomach is, sort of the crotch area.

On the palm of the hand and we just go ahead and add the fingers onto there, break those apart and add little bit of a thumb. Just tie down all of our lines and clean up Bart. And we're going to go ahead and fix everything that is not necessarily working. And you get a nice solid Bart drawing.

And darken in the lines there and solidify the shapes. Get everything finished and neat by cleaning up the rough lines. Go through and get those fingers working, the volume of his shorts, move those legs slightly adjust and get our detail all in there and all the details that make Bart, Bart. Give the shoes some dimension and we're pretty much done there, all the details.

And there you have it, Bart Simpson. Thank you for watching guys."
