How to Draw Dib- from Invader ZIM- In 7 Easy Steps!
How to Draw Dib- from Invader ZIM- In 7 Easy Steps! by @tarysand (Taryn Sanders)

No sleep and a whole lot of Pepsi tends to make me have weird ideas. But since people seem to like my Dib pictures a lot, I thought I'd draw up a little tutorial on how I draw him ^^ Now I'm not Jhonen and I'm not claiming to be the absolute authority on how to draw his characters, and I'm not saying you shouldn't try drawing Dib and other stuff in your own style, but some people are curious as to how I draw Dib, so I thought I'd demonstrate, that's all.

OMJ, thank you!! I've been yanking my hair out trying to figure out how to draw him right without watching and pausing recorded episodes. This will definatly come in handy. Think you can do a series with the other characters too? Gaz is an exceptionally tough bugger to draw...

Lol, at the part you said we can't just leave his head floating there, I actually drew just a head floating there, and it came out good! Even though it was just a, floating head. Lol. Well, bye bye now!
