Examples of art done by Jim Davis :

I really want to use Jim Davis as a artist for inspiration because I feel that both are styles link(such as the way the eyes are drawn ) I also would like to take reference from how his comics are played out.
The example shown above gives me a idea of how his comics are drawn out and the way he adds drama in his pictures without actually using words(this means that even if there wasn't any speech you would still be able to have a idea of what was going on and it would still grab your interest.
