Tips

  • Draw lightly in pencil so that you can easily rub out mistakes.
    • As an animated character, Bart has been drawn many times by both fans and storyboard creators on The Simpsons, and has many incarnations. If you’re a first-timer you should probably stick to the tutorial, but you can also make changes to some of Bart’s features and give him your own unique spin.
