In this tutorial, I’ll show how to draw Gary the Snail from SpongeBob in 14 clear steps. Gary, whose full name is Garold Wilson Jr., is SpongeBob’s pet sea snail and has been part of the show since its pilot episode. The drawing is relatively simple, but accuracy in his shell shape and facial features is important for a recognizable result.
Notable Features of Gary the Snail from SpongeBob
- Pink shell with a red spiral pattern
- Indigo oval spots scattered across the shell
- Light blue body with a chartreuse underside
- Long eye stalks ending with round, greenish-yellow eyes and orange centers
- A wide smile with visible teeth
Once you finish drawing Gary, there are other SpongeBob SquarePants characters you might enjoy drawing include SpongeBob himself, Patrick Star, and Squidward Tentacles.
Color Coding System for the Gary the Snail Drawing Steps
To make the process easier to follow, this tutorial uses a three-color guide:
- Red Color: lines drawn in the current step
- Black Color: lines already completed
By following this color-coded method, you can maintain consistent shapes and correct shell proportions throughout the process.
