what are your opinions on the different artstyles throughout the seasons?

I'll go through each season!

Season 1 is my favorite in everything. There's no competition. I really adore his design. Tbh his character design changes a bit every episode in this season and I'm not going to go through which storyboard artist's style was in which episode. That's a hassle. But I like the pilot. It looks like Hillenburg's concept art. Looks very gummy and squishy. I like how odd his style looks. But I also like the more consistent style we see in Reef Blower, Valentine's Day, Hooks. It has a thick outline.

There's another style from season 1 where the outline is very thin. You can generally tell because his eyelashes are drawn very thin. I've seen in some episodes like FUN and ScaredyPants. It's a weird look that I kinda like. Though his toothgap is so wide that it looks like he's missing a tooth.

Season 2 - his design is more angular. The transition from traditional to digital shows. They don't have to constantly redraw each frame. Which allows for a more homogeneous design. I miss how each frame looked different but that's okay. His style is very sharp and square. Similar to the end of season 1. But a lot more stiff. He's more narrow around his waist so he isn't actually Squarepants. More like upside down trapazoidpants. Also idk if this is about early digital animation but Spongebob looks very gray throughout the season. Still I'd rate this my second favorite style because it has the best parts from his season 1 design.

Season 3 - hes more square here. A lot more yellow. Season 3 has the best colors. Hands down. He's even more square and sharp. Surprisingly his expression doesn't change much. Mostly because of Hillenburg wanting spongebob to always be drawn on model. But the charm of his design is how off model he looks and how every frame looked so unique noooo. Jokes aside, I know this design is what most classics fans consider the best design. It's paired with his personality in this season which was more of a young adult with occasional childish tendencies. He seems the most mature in this season. Seasons 1 and 2 is a lot more kid-ish in a way. Idk why this brings up a random thought of seasons 1-2 SB are how kids think they are vs 10-12 is how adults view kids. I'm getting off topic. This design leads to what we get in season 4.

1st Movie - very square. Pretty much doesn't have that narrowness towards the bottom like seasons 2/3 has. Now he's not trapazoidpants but actually Squarepants. I've noticed some of Hillenburg's sketches of spongebob post the movie era look pretty much like the movie. That off model, really square shaped look.

Season 4/5 - this style actually reminds me of the modern style. Very square and spunky. Only difference is he occasionally has black brows. I like it a lot actually. Look at this boi!! He's adorable!! One of the better styles. I'd rank it high up there.

Season 6 - slight transitional style. Between seasons 4/5 and 7/8. I don't have a particular opinion on it tbh. I guess I don't like what would later become his design for 7/8

Season 7/8/9a - ehhh don't really like it. I have a personal bias tho. I didn't like much of these seasons when I was a kid and I think that childhood bias is clouding my view. But anyways I'm gonna talk about why I don't like it. He's so stiff in these seasons. I feel like his expression doesn't change much. His nose is drawn wider, I don't like that chubby cheeks look he does.

This one. His arms are drawn so high up. He's very rectangular. His eyes are smaller. I feel so nitpicky but he looks so dead. I feel like my love for the later seasons is kinda reactionary towards these seasons since they feel so opposite to me. So extreme blankness shifts over to extreme expressiveness.

Season 9a actually gets better but it still has remnants of this design.

2nd movie - follows the style of season 9a which was already starting to transition styles to the one we have in the modern era but I will make a pass because this is my comfort movie. Sponge out of water my beloved.

Season 10/11/12 - love it. Adore it. One of my favorite styles. He's so spunky and definitely a lot more angular. A lot of people complain about the expressiveness. I'm not really talking about it here but uhh I do like it. With digital animation, its a lot rarer to have unique frames. Everything is so on model. It's a bit boring. I understand the expressiveness can be too much for some people but it does remind me of what I found charming about the first season. No frame looks exactly the same. It's so stretchy. It only doesn't have that unique gummy squishy look, reminiscent of Hillenburg's art style in his concept art but none the less I like it. Also something worth mentioning. Sponge looks more shorter throughout the seasons. He's not really drawn shorter but him being more rectangular throughout the previous era and here he's slowly getting more and more square.

I really like this picture. I love his expression so much??

3rd movie - I heard that storyboard artists from the 1st season worked on this movie. Tbh it shows because a lot of frames looks like those photoshopped CGI version of Sponge's season 1 look. This movie was stunning visually. I like the style a lot. We can see parts of his older design like the narrower nose, more narrow towards the bottom.

Can't comment on season 13 because it just started, wait for that lateeer
