Here is the original pencil version…
Here’s the inked version below:
…and finally the fully-painted artwork below. Completely logo-free,but still with the crop marks and bleed lines and all that jazz.
In the next few days I’m also gonna be posting the TON of rejected preliminary drawings from this project. There’s a lot of drawings that I really like a lot, but for one reason or another they were all passed over for the version you see above. So come back soon and check ‘em out!
And meanwhile, I hope you’ll all go out to your
local comics shop and pick up a copy of
SpongeBob Comics #1

@Anonymous--yes, this was all done with the same procesws I use in the tutorials: Pencils to scans to Illustrator to Photoshop to ArtRage :)
