Question

How can I draw him so that he looks exactly like in the cartoon?

Community Answer

Try tracing him. Print out a picture of Mr. Krabs, and tape it to a bright window. Place a sheet of white, printer paper over the picture, and trace it with a pencil.

Question

I keep messing up while drawing with my pencil and when I erase, you can still see what mistakes I did. How can I fix this?

Community Answer

There's only two ways to really prevent this, and that's by drawing either really, really lightly or by drawing digitally. To minimize it, try using special drawing pencils and erasers.

Question

How do I draw Mr. Krabs being annoyed?

Community Answer

Add wrinkles under his eyes, make him squinting with a half frown, his arms limp and his eyes leaning a little down.
