In this tutorial, I’ll walk you through how to draw Karen Plankton from SpongeBob SquarePants. This version focuses on her portable body, which includes the rolling base and flexible neck holding the monitor. The drawing takes 14 steps, so it’s a medium complexity design compared to other SpongeBob SquarePants drawings.

- Base: A square computer base with wheels and red panel in front.
