Bad Sheep!

The title of this blog is from the Little Prince, probably my favorite children's book out there. I've quoted from the book often enough that it needed a special tribute here. "Draw me a sheep" is from the scene where the main character mets the Little Prince for the first time:

Now I stared at this sudden apparition with my eyes fairly starting out of my head in astonishment. Remember, I had crashed in the desert a thousand miles from any inhabited region. And yet my little man seemed neither to be straying uncertainly among the sands, nor to be fainting from fatigue or hunger or thirst or fear. Nothing about him gave any suggestion of a child lost in the middle of the desert, a thousand miles from any human habitation.

When at last I was able to speak, I said to him: "But, what are you doing here?" And in answer he repeated, very slowly, as if he were speaking of a matter of great consequence:

"If you please, draw me a sheep..."

So, being me, I tried to draw a sheep. It's not easy. Sure, there are alot of websites that can show you how but implementing is harder when one can't even draw a straight line.
After a few attempts, here's what I came up with:

Better than my other rejects, thank you very much.
