i would like to know is that the same pants that the owl is wearing? i always have trouble with fabrics but you have done it so well, how did you do that i wounder?

Artist Reply: Hello Ian, you are exactly right, you must be looking at my pictures quite a bit to notice these things! I remember when I made that owl, I didn't want his wings to be covered with sleeves, and therefor I gave him pants like this little boy is wearing. About how I did the fabric in this drawing. This picture is done after a photo, and I just drew as acurate as I could. I did not invent any fold, I just drew as carefully the truth as I could. So my only advice is to try that sometime, I take it you like drawing too Ian?

Very charming or delightful pencil drawing and mood!

M. Quintus van Amstel
Artist Reply: Thanx Jerry, I´m glad with the mood it has, I think getting a certain mood, is the hardest thing. But well, this is drawn after a movie-still, so alot of work was done before I started to draw.
