How to draw Garfield’s face step by step
- Sketch a small cat nose.
Start with a small shape in the center and gradually place every other feature of the cartoon cat face around this spot. Begin by sketching a tiny oval that will serve as Garfield’s nose. Keep it simple, light, and centered and leave room for the eyes above and the mouth below.
- Draw Garfield’s eye shapes.
Now, construct the large rounded forms to draw cartoon cat eyes. Start by sketching two tall oval-like shapes sitting side by side, touching at the center line above the nose. These shapes should be symmetrical in height and width.
- Sketch the eyelids and pupils.
Before shaping the rest of the head, establish Garfield’s classic sleepy eyelids to give the drawing its recognizable mood. Draw two long and curved lines across the lower parts of the eye shapes. After that, draw the pupils just below these lines.
- Illustrate the mouth and cheeks.
Now you can begin forming Garfield’s face around the features you’ve already placed. Draw the cat mouth and rounded cheeks below the eyes, each curving outward in a puffy way. Garfield’s cheeks are large, symmetrical, and rounded.
- Sketch the cat ears at the top.
With the lower face sketched, it’s time to outline the top area to give Garfield his full head shape. Draw the cat ears as two large, rounded bumps above the eyes. Try to make the lines of the cat ears smooth, rounded, and symmetrical.
- Draw Garfield’s face outline.
To give Garfield his final head silhouette, draw a large rounded outline around everything you’ve created so far. This outline should curve widely around the cheeks.
- Sketch Garfield’s ear stripes.
Garfield’s signature stripes help to make the drawing look more recognizable, so now you can add the first set of markings. Draw several short and thick lines along the ears on the head. These lines should taper slightly at the ends.
- Add cheek spots and stripes.
Now, draw the whisker spots as small circles near each cheek, then draw short stripe-like shapes along the sides of the face. Once the stripes and spots are placed, review your whole Garfield’s face drawing to make sure the proportions still look correct and no lines appear unnatural.
- Add orange tones to Garfield’s face.
To color the head of Garfield, use bright orange tones for the main areas of fur. The cheeks and muzzle should stay lighter, and the nose can be colored in a soft pink. Once complete, you’ll have a finished, cartoon-styled Garfield face drawing with all the recognizable features.
