My mum asked me to do this one for her. She teaches Primary school and was doing a Greek display on the wall so wanted a Minatour (is that how you spell it) to stick up on it. This is what I turfed out for her. To be honest I'm not best pleased with the head, having never drawn a cow before... strangely... this was the best I could fire out at the time. Still, she seemed pleased enough. The original is now stuck on her wall with 'Andy Guest, Aged 24' written on the bottom of it... done on A3 with a HB Mechanical.

Aha! I guessed you at 24 and was right. Hooray for me! By the byes it's spelled m-i-n-o-t-a-u-r. Very good for the first time drawing a cow head. My cow heads always come out looking like a McDonald's hamburger. Here, have a flaming sambuka and mind the bar this time.

:-) Andy Guest replies: "Comment from the Rooster: I was never a big fan of spelling it has to be said... it's a thankless task and no mistakin. How many cows have you actually drawn Melanie? The only time I ever do them is if I'm doing a family portrait and, coincidently, they all end up looking like McDougal's burgers as well..."

'Andy Guest, Aged 24' Hehehehe! *falls off chair* haha...*tear* hooo...Ah...Funny...Damn, I hope you used uber childish writing to top it off. You should've left it on this one! Can you ima--*rolls around on the floor giggling and is trampled by the dogs* hehehehahehaha! I'm done. I can type from down here..

Seriously though. (If that's at all possible.) This is awesome; the head looks fine, very bullish, although perhaps the fur could be a little more evident? If that's the word I'm looking for. Love the nail in his hoof. Fantabulous job!

:-) Andy Guest replies: "Comment from the Remedial: It's no joke, I'm 24 and still in primary school... should graduate by the time I'm 40 with any luck... Oooh, maths next... grrrr."

Nothing like a savage-looking spiky-club-wielding grecian monster to get kids into the learning spirit! Plus he has something of a cutesy nature about him.... probably it's his skirt. Can't take a skirt-wearing monster seriously, I just can't!

:-) Andy Guest replies: "Comment from the Dregs of the Barrel: I was thinking that about his, rather sensual, mini-skirt as well to be honest but then thought, "Don't think he'll have been able to make it to a trouser shop whlst trapped in the maze" and the alternative of a pin up nude shot was just too horiffic to contemplate..."

I love the little nail in his hoof, it's like a little imp was dared by his imp friend to run up and bash a nail into him...unfortunately he tripped over his toga running away and was subsequently maimed by the minotaur! Hehehe brilliant as ever Master Guest

:-) Andy Guest replies: "Comment from the Broomstick: Serves him right for wearing a toga if you ask me... worthless toga wearing pansy!"

You've gotten far in such a short time, Andy! It took me four years to learn how to breathe!

:-) Andy Guest replies: "Comment from the Chewed Pen Top: You must be really good at holding your breath Einar!"

In answer to your question: 2. And then I decided that I couldn't draw the stupid things. I haven't got one picture of a cow anywhere because I burned them. Smelled like barbecue as they went up in flames, didn't taste too good though...

:-) Andy Guest replies: "Comment from the Rimmer Clone: MmmmMmm... burned paper ashes on a silver plate, with a glass of chilled Sonsaire!... or is that just barbaric? Anyone who draws cows regularly is a fool, you're best off out of it... it's a mugs game!"
