I have attempted to mimic the 1981's style last year. Took me a little while to get it to look as close as possible to like the old cartoon. Most of these are made in Ibis Paint, but the one with Brainy being choked by Graphite is drawn in Krita, filtered in Ibis Paint.
I'm not an expert at making it look like the old cartoon so maybe I'm close but not 100% there yet 😭😭 like with the Brainy-Graphite one. But I think I'm proud of everything else, especially the first drawings.
Here's some of the same artworks with little to no filter. Maybe this is what the 1981 show might look like if it was remade today?? I dunno XD
I don't know if I show weird for offering this, even if no one asked for it, but if anyone wants to, I could share a guide/tutorial on how I make it look like the old cartoons using Ibis Paint. Maybe I might not give the best tips on how to do it, but there doesn't seem to be any guides on how to mimic the style so I thought maybe I could share what I did.

(Interior of Papa Smurf's lab. Papa Smurf barricaded the door to keep the other Smurfs from coming in. Brainy and Smurfette are with the village leader.)
Smurfette: Brainy, you have to smurf out there, face that mob, and apologize for what you did.
Brainy: (worried) I would, but I'm afraid if I open the door, they'll smurf all of you!
Greedy: No, we won't. We just want Brainy!
Brainy: Well, maybe not you, but they'll hurt Clumsy!

I like Smurfs when I was a kid. But last year is when I started to actually hyperfixate on Smurfs. Here are two Jokey Smurf drawings I made last year back in 2023. I've always loved Jokey as a kid and I still do now XD He's so silly-
I think his 2021 voice is pretty cute but I really love his laugh in the 1981 cartoon. I think that noisy laugh in the 1981 cartoon suits him the most. But I kinda think his 2021 laugh is cute as well, the lil hiccups he has like ohmigosh

A fully-animated commercial advertising the Smurf Berry Crunch Cereal in 1983. It features cast members from Smurfs (1981) reprising their roles. This one follows a short plot of Jokey Smurf pranking his friends as they're making the cereal and ends with Jokey getting pranked himself.
