Drawn Too it

While looking through the March2008 BT mag, I happened upon the "10 steps to a calmer bird" article.
It wasn't the story itself or it's advice that interested me (I'd read everything it said in other articles or books before)....
It was that picture of the excited, cresting 'Too on page 18.

Well, that got the sketch bug nigglin at me and I had to grab my clipboard and pencil. I think it turned out OK...

No, it's not an "exact" reproduction, but I think it qualifies as a "reasonable hand drawn facsimile"...
Besides, if I'd really wanted "perfect", I would have simply scanned the pic & applied the sketch filter to the image with my photo editor.

Naw, cute drawing! Sketch filtering is cheating, hand drawn is always better, you can tell it's real.
