June Birthday Project: Garfield - (6 / 19 / 22)

 

In 2022, I started a project-challenge-thing on Instagram where I draw six pieces to tie-in with the character-related anniversaries and birthdays going on in June. I never participate in any monthly challenges, and I wanted to encourage myself to use my traditional art supplies, so I thought it would be a fun thing to do for my birth month. :3

Here's Garfield for June 19th! 🥳🎂🐱🍔🍕🍟🧸

I was watching a bit of Garfield and Friends stuff while exploring Pluto TV. ('Cause it's like, why not? 1t's free. And nostalgic. I used to watch GaF through reruns on Nick...and now they completely own Garfield. Hm, full circle moment.)

I really liked his outfit towards the end of the episode, "Puss In Hi-Tops", and wanted to draw it at some point. What better time that to do it for the 44th anniversary of his debut? 😄
