Description
Man, this is an old, OLD doodle I started years ago, and then never really finished. It's been kickin' round my sketchbook for a while now, I used to only work on it around Christmas.I'm always amazed by the number of people who only know the Grinch as a Chuck Jones cartoon, and never realize that it's actually derived from a BOOK. There've also been a surprising range of incarnations of the Grinch over the years, each vastly diferent in design from another. -But if you ask me, the only true Grinch is one Theodor Seuss Geisel drew by hand- which he originally conceived as covored in black and white stripes with pink eyes.

I love the Grinch! I especially like how you didn't just copy the Dr. Seuss style or the Chuck Jones style, but rather, added your own twist to him. Your Grinch actually looks creepier than all the other incarnations, perhaps because of the pose and the skinny fingers. I love this!

I love the Grinch! Always been a favorite. I love how you did his face here, and his fur! Original design, but you can still see that it's the Grinch!

Right on, did they just forget to find someone to contend with Karloff?

Wow, tis drawing rocks.
And I agree. Ted and Chuck were friends, but Chuck did change the design of the grinch from the book.
*thumbs up*
