Description
A doodle I did of Garfield, one of my favorite cartoon characters growing up. I'm okay at imitating the way Jim Davis and his assistant artists draw him, but I wanted to try and give drawing him in my style a try. What do you think?Garfield belongs to Jim Davis and Paws Inc.
Drawn 5/3/11.

I love it! Especially the hand and feet, but I also think its really cool because I know how much you like Garfield. And I always find it pretty hard to draw other characters in my own style especially if I really like them, the original style tends to blur into my own.

Thank you. The way Jim Davis draws hands and feet on characters actually influenced the way I draw them on my characters.

Oho? Thats one of the things I love about art is that its so influential and everyone takes bits of dozens of other artists' styles and pieces them together with their own over time weather its on purpose or subconscious. And its cool when you can see that influence in someone's work.

Needs more of a bored expression IMO. Garfield has his eyes half closed most of the time.
Lol, how long has it been since I've seen that orange cat? Can't recall. XD But he looks pretty cool in this style!

Thanks! I actually now wish I'd given him the droopy eyelids, so he looks more sleepy and laid back.

Well now you know what to do, should you choose to colour it right?

I didn't plan on coloring this. I did however think about doing Odie in my style next.
