That IS a tricky one! I’m just having the first morning cuppa and repeating that again. The hubby will think I’ve gone mad! A lovely clean drawing and very amusing Lewis. Keep em coming. 😂

Just as well he didn't shake a stick at it as well. Splendid characterisation in the drawing.

How do you keep coming up with such different ideas Lewis? But you do have a fixation with big noses!

Definitely very hard to say once never mind trying to repeat it! Superb illustration to go with it Lewis.

At my art club no subject was set. I like old jokes, limericks and tongue-twisters, and I remembered this one. Couldn't remember the actual words, but knew I needed a Sheik and a sheep. So I drew this. The drawing is coloured pencil, and the image was compiled in photoshop. Not the best tongue-twister I've heard, but I was surprised to find a thing like this was in the Guinness Book. So I've finally drawn it.

About the Artist

Lewis Cooper

Self taught. Love drawing. Like to make pictures up, without using reference pics, often in cartoon style. I do other pictures where I do use reference. I'm knocking on a bit, born in 1940 in Greenwich, London. Retired, and loving it.
