Because a lot of people have been complaining about Spongebob's design in seasons 6 through 8, I thought I'd do a post about one of the most important attributes of Spongebob's design- his nose.
normally it should be drawn like this- perky and whatever
much like the ears of certain other characters, Spongebob's nose is another indicator of his mood or current state of mind or physical being.
Going really off-model for certain scenes where it's really funny, like this, is acceptable
If his nose is drooping slightly, like this, that probably means he's really upset without having 100% reached the horizon of despair:
If his nose is entirely drooping, like Squidward's, that generally means three things; that he's either very drunk, very sick, or very depressed.

Or, if he's imitating Squidward, that's a no-brainer:

At some point during the show's run, the artists on the show started drawing Spongebob like this:

AND WE SHOULD ALL BE VERY GRATEFUL THAT THEY STOPPED DOING SO.
