To draw Bart Simpson, follow these step-by-step instructions based on popular tutorials:
Step-by-Step Guide to Drawing Bart Simpson
1. Draw the Head Shape
- Start with a large rectangular or oval shape tilted slightly to the right as a guide for Bart’s head. The top line should curve downward more on the left side than the right, and close off the bottom with a curved line
- Alternatively, begin with a large circle for the eye area and work around it to form the head shape
2. Draw the Eyes and Nose
- Draw two large circles for the eyes near the top of the head, slightly overlapping. The eyes are big and round, typical of Bart’s cartoon style
- Add small circles inside the eyes for pupils and fill them in black
- Draw the nose tucked behind the left eye: start with a curved line from the bottom left of the eye, round the tip, and bend it inward
3. Draw the Mouth and Lips
- From the tip of the nose, draw a curved line downward and then outward to form the mouth. Add a bracket shape at the end for the smile’s corner
- Draw the lower lip as a curved line below the mouth, rounding it out and connecting to the neck
4. Add Bart’s Iconic Hair
- Draw a zigzag line across the top of the head to represent Bart’s spiky hair. The spikes are evenly spaced and sharp
5. Draw the Ear and Neck
- On the side of the head, draw a backward "C" shape for the ear aligned with the bottom of the eye and just outside the smile line. Inside the ear, add a small curved line
- Draw the neck as two short vertical lines below the head
6. Draw the Body
- Sketch a small oval or rectangle shape for the body below the head
. Bart’s body is about two heads tall, so keep proportions in mind
- Add simple lines for arms and legs if desired.
7. Finalize and Color
- Go over your sketch with a pen or marker, erase guidelines, and color Bart’s skin yellow. Add blue for his shorts and orange for his shirt
Tips
- Draw lightly at first to make corrections easier
- Use references from the show or tutorials to get Bart’s proportions right
- Practice the zigzag hair and facial features to capture Bart’s mischievous expression
This method is suitable for beginners and can be adapted for more detailed or digital drawings
. Watching step-by-step video tutorials can also help visualize the process clearly
